How to make my MPC work with my Roland XP-60

How can I use my MPC to sequence sounds from the XP?

I heard thats like impossible or something. good luck!

So should I sell my XP, and just buy a sound module?
and if I did that, how will the MPC know what sounds was
used when I save my tracks?

why wouls that be impossible?

connect the midi ( in to out, out to in) set up a midi channel on the mpc, and record.

I knew a guy that used a 2000 w/ a xp80 no problems.

I had an xp-80 and a MPC 2000xl. I hooked it up and I could get some sounds but the freakin midi channels kept getting messed and wouldn't work right connected to the mpc. I wound up selling my XP and got a triton le instead. My advice is for you to trade it or sell it.

Yo I'm having the same problem Funky Man!!

Any solution to my problem. I'm about ready to say the hell with
this gear and get a yamaha RS-7000. Now this is raw power 4-real.

Do you have the manual, if you do read the midi section.

I'm just trying to get a perspective on this issue so I can figure it out for you... Do you have 2 MIDI cables connected between your Roland and your MPC? One from an MPC's OUT to the Roland's IN, and one from the Roland's OUT to the MPC's IN?

Let me know, because if you answer my question, I'll be able to figure it out for you. But I just have to get some bearing on it first.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if its the same but, I sequence the XP-10 and the JV-1080 at the same time and I haven't had any problems with either.

It's your average set up. XP midi out to MPC midi in 1, MPC midi out a to JV midi in, MPC midi out b to XP in.

I save all my midi info (MSB, LSB, PROGRAM CHANGE) in the sequence to keep from having to reset them each time I load a song (or save as a user performance on the JV).
