Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By split692 Sun Jul 10, 2005 12:58 pm
Sup people this thing has been killing me.
Ive watched classics video about 100 times and done everything he has said (I think) . Ive set the sync set up in Cubase, and the MTC at 25 fps on the mpc xl. i turn the sync button on at the transport bar and this turns and says idle. When i hit record nothing happenes it doesnt even start. When i hit play though it starts the mpc but when i try and hit stop rewind or any other function it doesnt have any impact, the only way it does is if i turn the sync off idle to offline. Just wondering if anyone has got any ideas. If i havent explained this well plz say and ill rite it again.

na man that aint the problem. My problem is that it wont even trigger off the mpc when i hit record in cubase. I have been just tryin to press play in time with the metrenome but my track always end up sound like shit cause everything is a ms out of time. Thanks for the help anyways. If anybody still has any adive plz say. Im sure classic would be able to advise something. thanks

did yopu do this yet?

1 start nuendo
2 go to file and choose new project then choos empty
3 select the folder you want to save your project to.
4 create a midi track
5 you will see this ( L-> ) above the little @ in the inspector (click it this L-> )
6 choose local and a large window will pop up called the input transformer.
7since this will be channel one you will set it like this
click on add line tab
click on filter target and choose (channel)
in the condition tab choose (unequal)
in the parimiter tab choose ( 1) this is going to be channe one.
where it says select module tick (1)
where it says ative module tick (1)
where it says mode pick (filter)
NOTE: you must do this to every midi channel.
the only thing that should changed is the (parameter tab)
since this was midi channel one the parameter was set to one.
midi channel 2 will have the parameter set to two and so on.
I hope you understand it...and if you do all 16 channels save it as a template so you
wont have to type it all in again.
now, on the mpc where it says track -01 change drum1 to midi.
you will notice that to the right of the word midi it says :OFF change off to 1A-device 01.
go back to nuendo and load up a midi instrument like you would normally on the first miditrack you set up..
you should (if you have your midicable set up correctly) hear the midi instrument
in nuendo while hitting the pads on the mpc.
now on the mpc change the track to track 2 and select midi and 2A-device-02
and select another midid track in nuendo with a differnt instrument and you should now have both instruments play on its
own channel indipendently..

maybe I should have read the question :lol:

you have to put a blank Bar in front of the real sequence in cubase and on the mpc. for some reason this is the only way to get around this issue.

when using cubase I would suggest using a midi patchbay. It is a flawless configuration when configured properly. After initially setting it up you don't have to move cables, just setup configurations in software.

Ive tried to put a blank bar in but i think you think my problem is with the timeing it isnt. It wont even play when i hit play on cubase. The weird thing is that it does it sometimes. When i hit record it just completely freezes until I take the sync off idle and on to offline. Ive got a yamaha multi midi interface with 8 ins and 8 outs is that the same as a midi patchbay.I really need to start recording. Does anybody else have any ideas.
Thanks for all feedback

It sounds to me like you may have a MIDI loop going on, make sure you are not routing the MIDI back into CuBase. As a test, you might try unplugging the MIDI cable thats going from the MIDI out on the MPC to the MIDI In on your computer (if you have it connected).

2.X or 3X

2.x versions are good...
