does any one use soft syths with the mpc

if you do, how do record the audio the lot and cofigure them???

Really they are the same as hard synths, they are all controlled by midi. You don't record them on the MPC (unless you are just sampling sounds off of them), you record the sequences that control the devices on the MPC. Then you use something else to record.

please read the MIDI stuff in Newbie Bible post in the 2000xl section

check this out

once you set it up you can record your midi sequence of any vsti into the mpc then record the mpc's midi back into nuendo or cubase .

what this does..(and it works for me) it keeps the original midis( groove )of the mpc in your sequencing program(nuendo cubase)...just dont press the quantize button
in nuendo or cubase...


I hope this is making sence to you. because if you are new to this ,you will get frustrated. but dont give up. this kinda only applies if you have cubase 2 or nuendo 2.0. its the only software I have experience in.

ok ok ok watch this, from binger0 informative newbie stuff , bbsound post and
research i did.this is the config i worked out. please correct me if i am wrong here or is there a silpler way, (note i have no hardware modules )

keyboard midi out into mpc midi 1
mpc midi A into usb midi interface for software sequencer.
mpc controls sequencer and and note input. ALL MIDI sequences done on MPC.

MPC connected to prtools via MTC.

i am going to buy the 8 out card, so all sample loops and drum hits will come from the mpc itself straight into my mixer.

connected via rewire is reason to cubase and cubase to pro-tools 6.1
going for the digi 001, second hand price same as M-audio 1010 soundcard.

with rewire i can set pro-tools to record[b]"audio"[/b]straight through from the virtual instrumets in reason and cubase that is being controlled by the mpc.

now having all that beatifully laid audio of virtual synth modules. i then record mpc audio into protools to accompany the existing tracks. from here i edit, comp etc....

then from there i can run "all audio" from tools into hardware mixer and all outboard effects.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn !!!!
