midi settup adding a third piece ? how to do it

current settup

mpc 1k
motif A
and mo phatt B


I WANT TO ADD THE NEW ROLAND V SYNTH XT RACK , BUT HOW WILL I DO IT THE MPC1000 IS MY SEQUENCER AND IT HAS A AND B ONLY FOR MIDI WHEN CHOOSING MY TRACKS ?

before we all tell you to read some midi tutorial or something...


you just gotta use 'midi thru' ie. go out jack A into the motif, same as now, but put another cord from 'midi thru' on the motif to the new toy. (midi in on the v synth.)

then you have to set up one of them (motif/vsynth) to receive midi on some channel other than 1 (eg. 2 ).

you will choose which one to send to by choosing A1 vs A2.

make sense?

now, go read some midi tutorial or something !

ah okay i had to say it..


ur gonna have like 5 grand of gear and you nevr heard of midi thru?

maybe spend a little more time and less money...


ok i don't totally mean to sound harsh, im probly just jealous

You can leave the motif on midi A, midi B out to mophatt midi in, mophatt midi thru to roland rack in. Now you have 16 midi channels of motif sounds and you can split the sounds of the racks, say channels 1-8 mophatt, 9-16 roland. Not too sure about the roland but the Emu in multi mode allows you to assign a different preset to each channel. They just have to be aligned to the mpc- channel 1 to 1B, ch. 2-2B and so on. Hope this helps. Also, stereoroid.com has a tutorial for linking up midi gear to the mpc.
