Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By Roopesh Wed Dec 03, 2003 2:56 am
I use Logic Audio on a Mac.

i am about to buy an MPC 2000xl or a 1000.

I need to try an MPC based drum loop (1/16th) at any tempo between 90 and 100 bpm in WAV or AIFF format.

i need to hear if it will loop properly in Logic Audio, as i am going to mainly import MPC drums into Logic when i buy an mpc.


thank you in advanced.

You won't have to loop or import anything once you get an MPC. You can sync it to Logic and record a whole sequence.

yep. mpc midi out to pc midi in. mpc audio out to pc audio in.
Set up MTC and MMC on the mpc (shift-9), and set logic to respond to MTC as well. I'm not a logic user myself so i can't give you details on setting. Search the forums, it should be somewhere.

Defeats the whole reason of getting an MPC - its a MIDI sequencer with a bias towards drums (but that doesn't stop you using it for other stuff). Run your drum loop in the MPC and sync it to logic.

Why do you need an MPC if you intend importing all your drum sounds into Logic???? Doesn't make sense. :? The 2000XL or MPC1000 do not have a particularly desirable 'sound' over anything you'd get from sampling directly into a software sampler within Logic.
