i have this funny feeling that your not turning the channels up to 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B etc...yes on MIDI out B u have to select that bus too,

i set the channels on the mpc to 1b-16b and it still doesnt seem to work

okay i got it to work.....but i HATE playing the synths on the pads of the mpc...is there any way i can play the keys on the micron into the mpc?....or use my fantom as a midi controller for my micron and slave it to the mpc? HELP!!

OUT Fantom -----> IN #1 MPC

when you use the fantom as a controller make sure u turn the volume down on tha track your using. Like if u wanna play sounds out the motif for tracks 1-4 than on 5 when u wanna play the synth sounds from the microkorg or whatever u got turn down track 5 on the fantom and it will act as a midi controller

Im surprised Lamp Dog didnt tell u to pick up your MPC manual

okay i connected fantom out>mpc midi in 1 and micron out>fantom midi in..... still nothing....

You got to be joking me!!!

fuk da fantom for a sec and just go step by step!!
plug tthe micron out into MPC in 1.
turn type to MIDI and channel to what ever number u want.
press a key and see if it works. which it will.

now if u want to use the fantom, either use the MPC IN 2 or put it in the MICRON, when u do that, test to see if it can trigger the micron sounds.

EDIT: infact all you need to do it fantom THRU instead of OUT -->MPC In 1
and make sure your fantom THRU is turnt on in the settings.
