USEFUL LINKS FOR THE MPC ADDICT PT II

Good basic info on turntables, stylus/needles and setting up everything:

http://www.dj.deft.ukgateway.net/menu.htm

first if you have your Audio cables hooked up to your Mixer,it's ok. The Problem is midi. Here's how I have my setup,try this.

Let's set your triton up first.

1. In the Triton-hit Global button- should look like this.

Bank Map-----------Korg

Power on Mode-----Memorize

System Clock-------Internal

Note* while still in Global-hit Menu,then hit Midi-you should be in Midi setup.

2. Midi-Channel--------------1 checkbox Local on

Convert Position----PreMidi note on -----All

Midi Clock Internal External Midi
External USB

use only when slaving etc ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

MIDI Filter. check all,So you don't have to go back in, Program change,Bank change etc.

Now Hit Sequence button on The Triton Extreme. Your in Sequence Mode
so the MPC can use the Program sounds from the triton (16 Channels to use).

MPC Setup;

1.hit mode key/midi-sync. receive channel -All
soft thru:as track
up to you on this / sequence change by program change:Off
Pad to internal sound:On

Sync in : Off
Sync Out: AB

Now go to main Page (MPC).
In Track 1

Go to Type: MIDI Pgm:No-1 -------------------Midi: 1 -16 /A-B

Now to play the sounds or record to the MPC sequence you can setup your

Banks and Programs changes Here.

In Pgm: No-1 hit window key: A window popsup and says Program Change.

Bank Select:NO-turn it to Yes MSB:0 LSB:0 < here's where you change in and out of your programs. If you have a Korg Manual (Triton Parameter Guide) on page 158. look at O-2a: System Preference- Bank Map.

Bank-A MSB:00 LSB:0-----------Program Change 1-127< Sounds are here.

Bank-B MSB:00 LSB:1-----------Program Change 1-127

Remember once you have this set;up , you can change your sounds from your MPC by turning Program numbers. Also make sure in Program change window you turn transmit program changes in this track to: Yes

You have any problems PM me ,we'll get it up and running.

PS. If you leave Memorize on in the Korg,before you turn off,when your done and turn off, you can turn the Korg back on and it remembers the last setup. Like working in Seq/Mode. All I do now is turn on the equipment
and program in my MPC,not having to mess with the triton extreme buttons.

Make sure you have two midi cables"

A-out from MPC to the Triton
1-out from Triton to the MPC.

If you have samples loaded in the 1k or 2.5k that contain identical characters in the file name, but are different samples and play the same sound...

Nice list of manufacturers manuals in .pdf files.
It's best to right click and "Save As" the file to your computer.

In saying that.... RTFM!!!

Use "CK Rename" for batch filename processing. It's free.
I think I had placed a link for CK Rename in my first initial post.. Can't remember.

But it's a LIFEsaver when SO many sound/sample names are being used.

And they are FREE! So use them!

a good wav/sound editor for mac, free too! (it says shareware, but all there is in the shareware is a small pop up that comes up in when you start it up and stays for about 3 secs. and goes away, that's all!)

Ensoniq EPS classic manuals :


http://workinaroom.trackerz.org/Docs/

id : documentation
pass : documentation

there is the Operator manual( advanced App.), and the muscian manual in PDF, English.

For EPS 16 users, check the ASR-10 manual, it is like 95% the same manual.

If the ASR-10 manual dont answer your question, take a look at the EPs classic one (Same workflow than the other EPS series, but some menus are irrelevant, but with both manual you can find out easily).

You will also find there the Ensoniq DP4+ manual, same as the DP4 classic version, except some algorythms, and ordering are not the same.


For those who doesnt want the Big PDF files to print out, there is an online light version of the manuals :

http://yaladigs.freeservers.com/eps-0001.htm

can be downloaded on a PDA
