Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By FuRRyMuRRay32 Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:25 am
Heres the deal I got a MPC 2000xl, e-mu 1212m, and Reason.
I set it up the way I was suppose to. Can you please help me figure this out I don't want to take back the e-mu but its not working.

Heres my setup:
1. MIDI I/O b from PC to MPC MIDI I/O b
2. USB from PC to M-Audio Keystation 66
3. Keyboard to MPC IN 1

I only installed the drivers for the e-mu. The patch mixer sucks.
Now I went to my preferences in Reason 3.0 and I put for my bus A my USB Device which is the keystation. And for the MIDI clock I put the e-mu device. Then I did the NN-XT and put it in my 1st channel at the top and deleted the sequencer but keep the device.

In the Audio section of the preferences I do not know what to put. Should I have that put as my old 5.0 surround sound pci card or should it be the e-mu?

In my MPC I put my MIDI mode to Midi clock in to 2 and for out I put it to midi clock AB. Then I changed my main screen of the MPC to M:MIDI:1B

At this point my light is green in Reason and it says synced at the bottom but I have no sound at all threw the MPC. Now I read all these tutorials seen 1 movie but it don't work.

In all the tutorials it says if you have a usb powered keyboard then you have to set it up different. But it never explains why or how to do it. For example this one. http://www.mpc-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=76405

I appreciate all the help and I am not new here I just lost my pass to my old account.

may seem like a dumb ? but do you have any programs loaded into the mpc?
midi only transfers data. not sound.

for all audio and all midi, your emu should be selected in reason.

Ya I got It selected in my preferences. I got two emu drives tho one just says dsp emu and the other is dsp emu midi. Which one or do I use both? Also what should my audio driver be in audio section of preferences? Yes I do have timbalands drum kit loaded into my mpc, does this make a difference? Thanks for the help im going insane trying to get this to work. Been working on it for 5 days and nothing.
