OK i know this can be done its just a matter of figureing it out logically. THis is complicated MIDI ish

I currently have a MPC 2000xl a MIDI controller and a motif sound module. And this set up is workin fine. I can controll sounds in my MPC as well as sounds in the motif from my MIDI controller. I use the MPC as the brains of the set up and sequence and record MIDI data.

Hear is the thing I am thinking about adding a fantom XR rack to the Mix and doint the exact same thing. I know it can be done casue the MPC has to MIDI outs And 2 MIDI ins

How would i set it up so i could control both sound modules and the samples in the MPC from the same MIDI controller. One soundmodule will be on the MPC's MIDI track A and the second one on the MPC's MIDI track B

can you explain the process

The only thing you have to do is not phrase the above as a question and you're good to go. Say 'output' where you said 'track'.

If you'd like to add more modules later you would just connect them to the 'thru' ports of one of the first two models, and set them to a different midi channel. In theory, you could have 16 modules on each port, with each module receiving on up to 16 midi channels. That would give you 16x16x2=512 channels to play with!
