Synchronizing your MPC with.................................

I use my 5000 with Logic 8 and have no problem synching. I guess what you are asking is when using MPCs sequencer to sequence VST from logic how is that sound then tracked back into Logic when recording / or tracking into logic (ie when preping for mix or vocal recording)? I think I understand. unfortunately i havent an answer for you yet. i will try it this weekend and post back to let you know what I find. maybe we'll both need the answer

Priceless!!!

Digi just launched a new site, so some of the links I have are broken now. But I found them on the new site. This is just the Digi Design site of how to sync your MPC to Pro Tools incase anyone needs it.

Pro Tools 7 - http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfser ... Hilite=mpc

Pro Tools 8 - http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfser ... Hilite=mpc

The links came from the Akai site.

Find a Reaper one.

oh lampdog, you know i love you and that ballin' gold writing.


First you need to set up sync between the MPC and Reaper:

(I'm assuming you're just wanting to record the audio from the MPC in Reaper, not the MIDI)

1. Connect the MPC MIDI Out to the MIDI In of the audio device for your PC.
2. In Reaper, select Options > Preferences > Audio > MIDI Devices.
3. Right-click on the name of the MIDI Device the MPC is connected to and select Enable Input.



4. Click OK.
5. Select Options > External Timecode Synchronization > Synchronization settings.
6. Select Enable synchronization to timecode.
7. Select Start playback on valid timecode when stopped.
8. Select the name of the MIDI Device your MPC is connected to from the Use input drop-down list.



9. Click anywhere outside this window to close it (for some reason there is no OK or Apply button in this window).

Reaper will now sync to the MTC signal from your MPC. The play button in Reaper's transport will now show the word "sync" to indicate that sync is enabled.

From this point, you just need to route the audio outputs from your MPC to inputs in Reaper and record-enable them. Place Reaper into Record mode, and it will start recording as soon as you press play on the MPC.

Once you've finished recording, select Options > External Timecode Synchronization > Synchronization enabled to disable sync and return playback control to Reaper.

Template can be found here..............though this is a midi template (FOR RECORDING MIDI IN), i just swapped the input to Audio inputs and mapped it to the correct input of my interface then re-saved the template.

Hopefully i get around to uploading the template ive re-saved as its quite handy.

Enjoy!
