Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By omarphi215 Sat Jan 06, 2007 9:03 pm
I have Reason 3.0 and an axiom25......the axiom midi out is going to my mpc midi in 1............the mpc midi out A..is going to my Lexicon Lambda interface's midi in....The Lambda is USB'd to my laptop as well as the Axiom

This is the exact same hook up a friend of mine has except he uses the 1000 not the 2000xl (by the way my mpc is very basic, no effects no 8 outs, and a floppy, i do have a 250 zip external)

Now, My friend is able to set his mp to midi, hit record/play...hit a couple of keys on his keyboard......and VOILA!!! it plays back once it goes to ovedub after the bars loop. When I try to do the same thing....I get no play back....what the hell am i doing wrong?

You gotta set the midi channels and identify the midi-controller.

sparq has a video on this forum about how to hook a midi controller and mpc to reason... do a search for it..

thanks i'll check it out

I did set the midi channels but it still didn't work..the lil black square shows up when i monitor the input and the output.

Yo I watched the sparq tutorial and it still doesn't work...i might be because he is using the 1000...I also set the channels to 10 (the default for the axiom) and it still doesn't work
