Hey whats good? Does anybody know a step by step, on syncing mpc to pro tools. Everybody says it's easy, but the cats at Guitar center even gave me the wrong info. I really need to know so I can track my beats thru Pro tools. Get at me anybody!!!

Click on the MIDI tab in PT> click on MIDI Beat Clock> check Enable MIDI Beat Clock for... > check the appropriate midi device> click OK> click on the Setups tab> Peripherals> Machine Control> check Enable and select the correct midi device> click OK

On the MPC press SHIFT/9(MIDI/SYNC)> select the input you have the midi cable from the midi device connected to(1 or 2)> switch Mode: to MIDI CLOCK> switch Receive MMC: to ON

Make sure to set the tempo in PT to the same tempo as the sequence in the MPC


NOTE:the above involves the MPC2KXL
