Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By dpgs Mon Dec 28, 2015 12:09 pm
Hi all,

I´m trying to sync my MPC 2000xl as Slave with Pro tools 11 as Master. I´m experiencing some problems when I select one of the midi tracks in Pro tools and I play some notes on my midi/USB keyboard as the MPC stops.
I´ve already tried to select different midi channels in Pro tools... it keeps stopping.

I´ve never had this problem synchronizing my MPC with Logic X.
Any idea of what I´m doing wrong? I´ve activated midi filters on my MPC so the notes I´m playing can´t pass through.

Thanks in advance!!

If you are on a Mac, MPC-Tutor's tutorial can help you...

or from Akai. It doesn't mention the 2000XL but you get the meaning...

Thanks for the reply JUKE 179r.

I´ve tried both ways, Midi time code & midi beat clock. The MPC is synchronized with Pro Tools, all fine at this point.

I have opened 3 different midi tracks (channels 1,2 & 3) to send midi data to my waldorf blofeld which is in multimode. As soon as I play my keyboard in one of these midi tracks the mpc stops the sequence. I have selected the mpc to receive midi just in channel 16.

Seems like the keyboard is sending midi data to the MPC.

Does anyone know what´s the problem here?? I´m getting crazy!!
