Probably answered(mpc2000xl and mo6 sync)

I know this probably been answered before but I cant find it in depth on here. I know how to hook up the mo6 and mpc up but I want to know how to set it up within the mo6 where Ican change an instrument voice on the mo6 when putting together a track?

Are you sequencing on the MPC or the Motif?

If it's the Motif go to www.motifator.com.

If it's the MPC that will be the sequencer you have to change the instrument voices by using a different one on each track. Be sure to change the track from DRUM to MIDI. Also be sure to use the proper output A or B. So your screen will read MIDI:1A or MIDI:1B for example.

Track 1 MIDI:1A PROGRAM: 3 (Piano for example)
Track 2 MIDI:1A PROGRAM: 23(synth for example)

So on and so forth. The Program number as listed above should correspond to the number for the instrument voice on your keyboard. As you scroll through the program numbers on your MPC, you should see the voices/instruments change on your keyboard.

Hope that clears it up for you.

Peace!

Im running a MO6 and MPC as well.

Everything is done in song mode on the MO6. Im not at home right now, so this is off the top of my head.

-Power up the MO6 FIRST, then power up the MP
-Ensure you have all the settings for MIDI set up properly, should be in the manual.
-on the mpc, set the 1st 16 tracks as MIDI tracks. 1A, 2A, 3A, etc.
-Go into song mode on the MO6 and find a empty song(or just delete all of the demo songs and have a clean slate)

You are ready to record.

-In song mode, go to the track tab.
-select the track you want to record(ensure that track number matches the track on the MPC) i.e. if you select track 1 on the MO, ensure you are on track 1A on the MPC.
-Hit the record button on the MO6, then go to the Voice menu.
-Now hit the "Category Search" button... you can now go through all of the voices(strings, brass, synths, etc.) Then once you found your sound, go to the MPC, start recording.
-Follow the past 5 steps for each new track you add to your song.
-to save, you have to hit the "Mixer" button, then hit the Store button. Then go to file>save and save the song to your USB thumbdrive.
