Hello everyone,
I am here because I don´t know what else I can do to have my FANTOM S, my MPC 1000 ( OS 4.99) and my Logic Pro synced. I´ve searched in this forum, youtube ( Yes, I saw a fantastic video on syncing Fantom G, a MPC and Logic, with no full results) and all over the net. I just can´t make this run. Seriiously, MIDI CHAINS is too much for dumbs like me..

WHAT DO I WANT TO DO? -Have my MPC1000 as the master, so when I press recording LOGIC starts recording
MPC´s INTERNAL SOUNDS, FANTOM´s sounds and LOGIC´s virtual instruments.
-Be able to play LOGIC Virtual Instruments sounds in the MPC and the FANTOM

WHAT CAN I DO NOW? -I can play MPC´s sounds ¡( Channels 1-16B) and LOGIC sounds and record them when press record in Logic.

WHAT CAN´T I DO NOW? -I can´t play LOGIC sounds in the FANTOM in MPC´s channels 1-16A.


Here´s my set up:
FANTOM: volume up ( it doesn´t play LOGIC sounds if I turn it down anyway)
Sound (Local Switch: on) --It doesn´t play them if I turn it off, anyway.
Sync Tempo: slave midi
MMC Mode: slave
soft thru: off
MPC: MIDI : receive all
sync In : off
Sync out: A Master
MMC: on

WIRES: Fantom´s MIDI IN 1 to MPC´s MIDI OUT A
Fantom´s MIDI OUT A to MPC´s MIDI IN B
MPC´s MIDI OUT B to Audio Interface´s MIDI IN
MPC´s MIDI IN 2 to Audio Interface´s MIDI OUT

LOGIC PRO 8: SET UP is made according to this video

THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY DUMB THAT I´M NOT DOING AND I DON´T KNOW WHAT.
Any ideas?
Thanks
