HAS ANY MPC2000 EXPERT EVER USED THEIR SAMPLER WITH A MIXING

WHAT ARE THE CONNECTIONS TO THE MPC2000 OUTPUT THRU INTO THE MIXING BOARD? TELL ME IF THIS POSSIBLE. THIS QUESTION IS ONLY FOR MPC2000 EXPERTS ONLY. ANSWER WITH EXPERTISE. I READ BOTH MANUALS AND IM TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO CONNECT THE TWO MACHINES TOGETHER TO WORK AS ONE UNIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ASSISTNACE IN ADVANCE?

THERE IS NO MIDI THRU ON THE 2000. I'VE NEVER DONE THIS SET UP WITH TWO MPC'S BUT THE WAY MIDI WORKS IN ANY SITUATION THAT INVOLVES ONE UNIT CONTROLLING ANOTHER, YOU ARE DEALING WITH TIME CODE.

1. SELECT THE MASTER DEVICE TO CONTROL THE TIME CODE AND THE OTHER MACHINE.
2. CONNECT THE MASTER MPC'S MIDI OUT TO THE OTHER MACHINES MIDI IN
3. U MUST GO INTO THE MIDI MENU OF THE MASTER MPC AND SELECT A FORM OF TIME CODE TO TRANSMIT, (MIDI TIME CODE OR MIDI CLOCK WITH SONG POSITION POINTER)
4. SELECT WHICH MIDI PORT YOU ARE TRANSMITTING TIME CODE THROUGH
5. YOU HAVE TO GO INTO THE SAME MENU ON THE SLAVE MPC AND SELECT IT TO RECEIVE THE SAME CLOCKING THE MASTER IS SET TO. BOTH MACHINES MUST ALSO BE SET TO THE SAME FRAME RATE. BOTH DEVICES MUST BE SENDING AND RECEIVING TIME CODE ON THE PORTS THE CABLE IS PUGGED IN. MIDI 1&2 OR MIDI A&B. IF YOU HAVE EVERYTHING SET UP CORRECTLY AND YOU ARE NOT SENDING AND RECEIVING ON THE PORTS THAT THE CABLE IS PLUGGED INTO, YOU WILL NOT HEAR RESULTS.
6. PRESS "CAPS LOCK"
7. i think that's it bro

Not true cause the midi out can be swiched to a "soft thru" function.

Im trying to control the tracks on my mixing board from the mpc2000. I want to know what connections have to be made and also what time code should I use to make it effective. Im trying to record my programed drums from the mpc2000 into the desired track on my mixing board. Thank You

is your mixer controllable via midi? connect a midi cable from the mpc midi out to the mixer midi in, and a cable form the mixer midi out to the mpc midi in.
time code is not necessary to do this.
you will need to record your mixer automation on a new track on your mpc.

use 1/4" audio cables, and plug the mpc main outs into the channel on your mixing board.

if you're having this much trouble early on, i suggest doing one thing at a time. first, have your mpc make sound. second, have that sound go into the mixing board. finally, learn about midi.

take it slow.

What is your recording medium? Hard drive, magnetic tape? You haven't really told us what you are trying to do, and I have a feeling timecode has little to do with it.
