WOW! That a mad question...Well not in theory but for some1 to invest in all that gear, a little common sense or experience should be applied

A manual might come in handy too

Good luck with all that gear man...If you bump into santa again tell him to holla

B :wink:

The point we are making here about looking at your manuals is that you will get clear diagrams. This is simply a case of getting a few audio & midi cables & connecting them to sockets marked OUT on some bits of kit to sockets marked IN on others. It is easier for you to see a picture in front of you rather than us say "the fifth socket from the right" & then you need to ask "is that the fifth from the right if you have the back panel facing you, or fifth from the right if you are looking down on the sockets from the front of the machine?".....

You could probably get all the info you need just from the the Digi 002 manual, & that is the one you need to know how to do your recording.

Seriously...Its been a few days now AKA long enough for you to refer to some manuals.

We like people to try things out 1st then resort to asking for assitance.
Maybe your better off in the digi design forum

Just a thought :roll:

do you want to do it midi or just input the out of the gear to do a multi track session?
refer to the manual on pro tools for midi tracks.
to hook it all up and have it record what you want
just do two master lines out of every machine into the back of the digi 2 unit.
for example
take a midi out a of the mpc
into midi a in of the triton
next
take midi out b of the mpc into
midi in b of the fantom
you will have to refer to all manuals about each instruments midi control functions and how to properly hook up the unit
now once you get the gear hooked up right
the rest in pro tools is easy\ just open up pro tools and in your session
activate 6 tracks
make sure each input is ready to go
mpc= inputs 1 .2
triton=inputs 3.4
fantom=inputs 5 .6
make sure you connect the gear to the correct inputs from the correct instrument outputs or you will not hear sounds!
this setup will have your mpc and you can sequence the triton and the fantom from the mpc.
learn how to hook up stuff and you can then hook it so pro tools is the master and you can midi sync and sequence everything from within pro tools.
anyway
hope this helps
peace
