Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By loganbmartin Tue Feb 16, 2010 9:46 pm
So I'm brand new to this forum, and have heard good things about the help found on it.

My problem is this:

I have an MBox Mini, an M-Audio Uno Device, and an MPC2000

I have my UNO plugged into my MPC2000 MIDI IN (PORT) 1
I hit SHFT 9 on my mpc, set my midi sync to MODE: MIDI CLOCK
I open up my pro tools and open up midi beat clock and have the box that says M-AUDIO UNO DEVICE checked and hit Okay.

I hit play in pro tools and my mpc plays back just like it should. But when I open up a track to try and record it out track by track, I get no signal in my pro tools?

How can I fix this!?

Thanks so much guys!

AHhahhaha, sorry. Midi is not audio.

You will need to ALSO connect the mpc audio outs into the mbox mini.
That will give you stereo mpc out to mbox mini into a hotools stereo track
or two 1 channel tracks (left and right)


MBox mini
Analog Input
2 x 1/4" TS phone, unbalanced.

Impossible to track out only using midi the way you are thinking.
Get a better understanding of your tools before jumping into the deep end.
