I have an MPC 2000xl ... Classic
An axium 49 key....
Reason 3 ( need to upgrade)
Protools with Mbox mini.... ( I may have to upgrade this as well)


Does anyone have a link or Instructions Of hooking these 4 components up on a PC platform .... I have the time. and the money for any needed cables...or equipment.

My main concern is work flow. I use the Mpc Alone most of the time... but im ready to use it as a midi controller..... I heard it does wonders with Reason....


Combining The Hardware with the software.....Its a big step and i want to do it right.... Thank guys

hook up the axiom to the midi in1 of the mpc. go from the midi in2 and outb to the ins and outs on the pc. set mtc on both the mpc and the pc and your good. if your using the mpc as the sequencer and reason just for the vst's then set the mpc as the master and the pc as the slave and use the trasport controls on the mpc to start and stop your work.
