Hi Guys,
I've been learning how to setup my home studio and have run into a wall with midi. I work mainly on my MPC2K original and drum machines (which i can get all of them to sync together with my 2000 as master). I'm using Ableton 9 for recording and cleaning up and editing the tracks. I would just like to use Ableton to trigger my MPCso I can track everything out in time.
Im running an usb-midi cable out of my studio computer with the usb-midi output side into my MPC midi in (slot 1). And the usb-mini input side into my MPC Midi Out
On my MPC my midi settings are as follows
Sync out:
Midi Clock
Both AB out
MMC on
Sync In
Midi Clock
Input 1
MMC on
In ableton I set my preferences as follows
Input: USB Uno midi interface (track on)
Output: USB Uno Midi interface (track on, sync on)
sync type: midi clock
Midi Clock Type: Pattern
It just won't sync. If i press play in Ableton the MPC just doesn't fire.
I have a midi cable running out of the MPC, into a midi splitter box, and into my drum machines. If I play my MPC the drum machines sync fine.
I'm stuck. I have been looking online all afternoon but I'm exhausted and I cold really use some help!
Thanks for your time and help it is greatly appreciated.
Best,
Dan
