MpcMIDI-Nuendo:all channell plays,why?!?

Ok this is the problem:i connected my mpc via midi to the pc and the sound(choosing midi and setting program on OFF and choosing channell 1A work) come out but there's one problem:i'm using nuendo and when i choose a channel(example 1) and same channel(1A) on mpc,the mpc play the sound,BUT when i change the channel on mpc(example2A) i still hearing the sound and same thing and other channell even if i choosen channel 1 on nuendo.
So,the problem is that,in case i want to play just one sound there's no problem,but in case i want play more than one i can't otherwise i will play the same notes with the other vst.
Please i need help because this is pis...ng me off!I will appreciate.

Hi there.
I had the exact same issues with Cubase SX. Those programs are very similar so it may be some kind of a clue that there is an issue with midi. There is a known problem with midi notes coming late while recording in Cubase as well...
I tried some different ways but still couldn't figure out the problem you're experiencing. However, when I moved to Ableton Live to check if the problem apears, it was all good and I could play more than one sound from vst with mpc's tracks.

are you assigning the new synth to a new channel?

Yes i tried,i tried from the mpc and from the uendo but any channell i the same,i choose(example) channel 2 on nuendo and channell 1on the mpc ut i still hear the sound,same thing with nuendo.
I tried to open just the vst,without opening nuendo and when i choose a channell(from the menu of the synth)and i disable the other channell it works!!!So i think that the problem could be on nuendo(my worst nightmare was that the mpc was the problem) i dont know i hope someone ese could help me too..anyway thx guys!

I use Nuendo 3 & the mpc 4k myself, but I also use a 128 channel midi interface. I don't know if that's the reason you're experiencing those problems you mentioned, but it defenitely helps to config all midi routing and destinations.

My setup consists of one master controller keyboard and the 4k as the two controllers. Everything else (sound modules/keys) is connected from the midi interface. All of this shows up in Nuendo, which makes it a dream to route and connect whatever I want.

As far as VSTi's are concerned, they act as what they are intended to be...virtual sound modules. These work and setup no different than how a basic sound module would.

I just thought about this software called Midi Yoke - virtual midi ports. This may help to route everything.

I'm using cubase sx3 but like harlej said , they are pretty similar.

Here goes

For each vst/synth you use you have to create a new midi track.
Set the input of the midi channel to where the mpc midi comes in.
Set the output to the vst/synth you're using.
Set the channel to the channel that the vst/synth is receiving on.
Then you have something called "Input transformer" .
In cubase it's located in the inspector pannel next to the mute , solo , Read/write enable buttons.
It has a picture of an arrow .
If you click this you can choose Off , Global or Local.
Choose Local.
In the next menu you go to the presets and select "Channel filtering" and then the channel you want to receive on that midi channel.
Then make sure you set the Active module number to the same number that's in the Selected module Tab.
It's probably just Module 1 you have to enable cause that's default.

Now all midi will be sent to the midi track but only the selected channel will pass through to the vst/synth.

It may seem like a lot of work , but once you know what to do it's really not that hard.

Greetz...

Just a thought...have you checked the midi routing on the mpc yet? And which mpc do you have? I assume it's the same on all mpc's, but I just hit the midi button and set my destinations. Then when I go back to the main seq page, those destination options are shown there too.

Rarely do I have to deal with this, but it's there for a reason...hince the term "Music (formally Midi) Production Center".

That's a great tip Fasttracker, thanks !

unclick the record button in nuendo except for the channel you want to work with

I will try,let you know tomnorrow!

Are you using a multitimbral sound module plug-in with Nuendo? If not, that's why you are hearing the same sound on every channel. The plug-in can probably only play 1 patch at a time in a single instance. The way I get around this in pro-tools is I play a sound on midi channel 1 and record it on the MPC. Then I record the notes on track 1 (instrument track) in pro tools for however long my loop is in the MPC. So if I am making a 4 bar beat, I'll record the notes for the first 4 bars in pro tools, then mute that track on the MPC and loop pro tools. So everytime I play the beat, pro tools is playing the notes on the plug-in, not the MPC. To get the next sound, I just go to track 2 on the MPC and select midi channel 2. Then create a new instrument track in pro tools and open the plug-in again on the new track. Find another sound, record it on the MPC. Then record the notes into pro tools and mute the track on the MPC. Move onto track 3 and keep repeating it until you're done with the beat. This is called multiple instancing. Should be similar in Nuendo. Also, to get this to work properly, you will need to set Nuendo as the Master and use it to control playback of the MPC.

Fastracker you are a genious!!!!!!!It works it works!!!!!!!Anyway thx everybody because you were so helpful hope to get no problme in the future and hope to be helpful 4 somebody else!|!

Just amending the great instructions provided by Fasttracker for Cubase 5 Users. Here It Goes:

CUBASE 5 MIDI INPUT TRANSFORMER (IN CONJUNCTION WITH AKAI MPC 2000XL)

Here goes

1. For each vst/synth you use you have to create a new midi track.

2. Set the input of the midi channel to where the mpc midi comes in.

3. Set the output to the vst/synth you're using.

4. Set the channel to the channel that the vst/synth is receiving on.

5. Then you have something called "Input transformer" .

6. In cubase it's located in the inspector pannel next to the mute , solo , Read/write enable buttons.

7. It has a picture of an arrow .

8. If you click this you can choose Off , Global or Local.

9. Choose Local.

10. In the next menu you go to the presets and select "Channel filtering" and then the channel you want to receive on that midi channel.

11. At the bottom of input transformer in the Function box, select "Transform".

12. Then make sure you set the Active module number to the same number that's in the Selected module Tab.

It's probably just Module 1 you have to enable cause that's default.

Now all midi will be sent to the midi track but only the selected channel will pass through to the vst/synth.

It may seem like a lot of work , but once you know what to do it's really not that hard.

Great man,it's working!
BUUUTTT:how can i set to control the mpc by the computer,or how can i record something from the mpc and at the same time press record on nuendo?
Simply:i would like to press play and once i ve pressed play i need nuendo to record automatically,somthing like a control machine.
Let me know
