please go here and read the whole basics to all of your questions. One day you wil look back on this thread on laugh but we all been there before. Lampdog and everyone else are giving you straight facts you first have to know how midi works and then read the manual to learn your machine. Do this and you can come back here and show and prove all of us with great music. Don't quit or skip put in the effort to get your money's worth.

Blue, I've been using Midi and making beats for years. Its just the MPC I cant get my head around.The mpc is like your computer it is your main midi sequencer not audio you have to record the audio either into your DAW or a multitrack recorder. This is basic midi on hardware there isn`t a hardware device that does what you were asking hence everyone refer you to do a refresher course with tweak or basic midi guide. I take it you have been doing alot of work in Audio/midi DAWs so this wasn`t known to you. But it is standard working with hardware to route your audio to a mixer or soundcard to hear it not into another midi unit unless you are sampling the sound not recording beats.
I've already read the above article (and most of Tweaks stuff) like years ago, don't remember it having any info on how to use synth via MPC4k but I'll give it another crack and see if I get anywhere.
What?

Blue Haze wrote:If you mean you want to sample sounds off your synth to use in the programs in the 4k then that is a different story. You only sample the audio not midi that doesn`t exist. But if you are recording arps or a midi loop from your synth it is better to sample it as a audio phrase like a loop off a record. My two cents.
I'm not trying to record audio. Just the midi singles from a synth, like you do with a soft synth in cubase, etc. Can this not be done with hardware via midi?
Yes I've mainly been working with Audio/midi DAWs.
So what you're saying is that the only way to use my hardware synths is to sample them as audio!?
Not sure what you mean by "midi not existing".

Midi out mpc4k to mid in synth. This will enable 4k to control synth.
Midi out synth to midi in 4k, this will allow 4k to record synth performance.
Lampdog wrote:Does the synth sounds you wanna hear/record reside IN the synth, then synth audio out to mixer/soundcard/interface.
You can still record synth performance into a 4k midi type track.

No its in the synth, the mpc doesnt have any sounds.Lampdog wrote:This would mean, again, that you record the synth midi performance into a 4k midi type track. I'm not really proficient with my 4k yet but I understand the overview (previous 8 yr 2kxl owner). You gotta check the manual to see exactly what menus will get you these results big dog.

That what I was thinking.
After 5 years ownership?
Sell.

i guess you rather it in ignorance, than read the manual.
it tell you every thing you need to know. even has a diagram of how to set it up.
good luck
