MIDI Set up- New to tracking

Sup, I've been using my MPC 2kxl to sequence my 2 synths, my MIDI has always been hooked up like this... Out from the MOTIF and IN to MIDI 1 on the MPC, Out from MIDI 1 on the MPC back In to the MOTIF, Same goes for My Roland Synth except for Being on #2 or B as some say... That has worked fine for me for 2 years... I finally got a Boss Br-864 to track my stuff and was wondering about how to Sync it up to the M.P.C. Via MIDI There are no more MIDI Outs on the MPC obliviously, I just need some sort of diagram or something... Thanks and nice forum by the way![/b]

You can use the THRU of one of your External synths or get a MIDI Patch bay. and use one of them.

I'f I use the THRU Does the MPC know which synth is going to be on MIDI 1a/1b on the main menu... Got any links???

"Like my good friend and invaluable forum-member Penfold already stated:

There's two ways to provided you do all your sequencing on the mpc, and don't need to play 16 patches at a time:

1. mpc midi-OUT A --------> Motif midi-IN
Motif midi TRU ----------> Roland midi-IN
Mpc midi-OUT B --------> Multitracker (for sync)

The good thing about this setup is that you have a dedicaded midi-port for syncing, if you play a lot of midinotes on the same port that you use for sync it's supposed to be less acurate (i've never noticed it myself though)

2. mpc midi-OUT A --------> Motif midi-IN
Motif midi TRU ----------> Multitracker (for sync)
Mpc midi-OUT B --------> Roland midi-IN

This will give you 32 patches on your synths instead of 16 cause you're using both A and B for synths.

ieism, I feel like you Dissed me man! did I not tell the guy this?

Off course you did, i'll edit my post right away. Check it out now
