CONNECTING MPC 2000 CLASSIC TO ROLAND FANTOM X6

Hey i tried searching but nothing. I want to connect my Roland Fantom x6 to my MPC2000 classic and use the MPC as a sequencer. So here are some of the questions i have:

1) How many MIDI cables do i need?

2) Do I need a mixer?

3) What are the settings on the MPC as well as on the Roland Fantom X6

**note** - I've seen a couple of video's on youtube but they show how to connect it to the MPC 2000XL and i've tried it the same way but when i take the data wheel to track on the MPC and try to change it to "MIDI" it is not there it just shows track 1a-16a. So, i guess another question would be, where do i locate these settings on my MPC?

P.s. Sorry if this has been posted numerous times before.

Thanks in advance

neone?

can anyone please help me i really need to know.. any help would be appreciated thank you in advance

really man... u should learn one b4 the other

in a way theyre both "workstations" with tons of shyt to know. i hope u didnt buy both at the same time cuz ur gonna burn urself tryin to learn "how to produce" orignality.

using the mp as a seq is what most do...yet
both have sequencers. if u plan on doin 808 styled beats then take the mpc back and look for the drums on the x6 and learn its sequencer.


midi only has two routes: IN OUT. let ppl know what u wanna do wit it. do u wanna play the x6 and sample into the mp? or do u jus wanna seq drums with the mp into the x6?

the ?s u got are really broad and the equipment u have can be dope if u know how not to follow trends.
really if its all about seq type in midi time code or MTC and go from there, otherwise retire one of those pieces for a few months... peace

i dont use a mixer personally so sorry for the lack of info

Hey what up!!! Question for you if you are using your MPC 2000 with a Roland Fantom are you using your MPC as a master and the Roland as a slave(sound module) If so how?

you really don't need a mixer you can hear through your headphones on the MPC
