Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By shawncurtin Sun Apr 02, 2023 9:08 pm
Anybody out there know how to midi sync a MPC 2000XL and a Roland VS-880 where the Roland VS-880 is the master and the MPC 2000XL is the slave. For instance, what are the proper cable connections and settings on each machine? Thanks in advance for any help on this!

It should be quite easy. Connect MIDI-Out from the Vs880 to MIDI-In of the MPC 2000xl.
In MIDI-Settings of the MPC turn the Sync IN to MidiClock or Midi Time Code, and enable MMC.
On the VS-880 turn on the Output of MidiClock and MMC.
MIDI Clock and MIDI Time Code control the Timing synchronization of the devices, while MMC sends the Controlling (Start/Stop/Pause) Command.
