Hey guys, i'm n00b to the site as i have never been able to purchase an mp myself, but i'm a recorded music student in college and interning as an audio engineer and i have an extremely frustrating question thats been giving me migranes trying to figure out the last two days at work. I've looked through notes and searched and asked for answers seemingly everywhere but nothing will work.
I am completely new to the MPC, but in the last two days have learned the basics (loading samples from floppy, sequencing, midi sync - and now am itching for one more than ever), so i know this forum is the best place to start posting.

We have an 002 ProTools LE system, Korg Triton-Rack Sampler, Roland RS-5 controller, and an old MPC 2000.

Trying to:
-sync MPC2000 with ProTools (which i managed to figured out)
-get Triton-rack sounds to play through MPC and Roland RS-5
-bring everything back into protools

any suggestions/helps/tips-anything is greatly appreciated!

You will not get Triton rack sounds to play 'through' an MPC.

You have two basic options:

1. The MPC is a sampler, you can sample any sounds into it and trigger them with pads or an attached midi keyboard (RS5?).

2. The MPC is a Midi Production Centre, you can connect a Triton rack via midi and trigger the sounds that way. The audio will come from the tritons outputs.

The outputs from your MPC and triton rack should be fed into an audio interface attached to your computer. That's how you get the audio into Pro Tools or any other DAW.
