Newbie in need of Help

I just purchased the mpc 2000xl and a Korg triton and I want to know how do you sequence w/ the combination sounds from the triton? any advice will be greatly appreaciated.

I don't have a triton myself but i assume that the way to connect it to the mpc doesn't differ from any other synth. So this is the way that works for me

1. Plug a midicable from midi A out on the MPC in the midi in of your triton.
2. Plug a midicable from midi out on the triton to the midi a in on the mpc.
3. On the triton set midi local to off (see triton manual how to do that) (this means that when you press a key on the triton keyboard it wil not send a signal directly to the internals of your triton but to the midi out. In point 4 i explain why)
4. On the mpc do as specified on page 53 of the manual and set soft thru to omni A. (since we want midi signals coming in on midi in A to be sent thru to Midi out A that way the midi signals coming from the triton will be sent to the mpc who will able to record them in its sequencer but the signals will also be sent out to the triton again so that the triton can also respond to actions on its keyboard as well as to data coming from the mpc sequencer.)

I hope this made sense to you. For more general info on midi i found http://www.tweakheadz.com/how_to_get_st ... _midi.html to be very helpful (I hope that MPC-tutor is ok with me mentioning that site with which btw I have no affiliation whatsoever )

I don't have that set but I do know how much of a pain it is. Do a search that question has been answered alot and recently. Do a search and it will go into detail.

I have XL and Triton classic also and what PT3R says is exactly what I do also and it works for me.

I must be a retard because I've tried this and it doesn't work for me. When I play the keys on my triton, I end up hearing my mpc samples playing through the triton......when all want to do is the opposite....be able to play a bass line along with my mpc beat. I need help.

do everything that is listed in this post......then with the cursor go down to drum all the way at the bottom of the screen on the mpc..... then turn the data knob to make it say midi.....then move the cursor to the right and put it on 1 and play the keys......now you wont hear what is in the mp only your keyboard........you can record what you want and when you are finished make the 1 say 2 and do it all over again



Good Luck

Go to tritonhaven dot com. That site is to the Triton series (LE, Classic, Studio) as this site is to the MPC series (60, 1000, 2000, 2000XL, 3000, and 4000). I'm sure the answer to your question using the combi sounds to sequence has been posted on the site, so do quick search. Hope this helps...
