how to sync cubase and my mpc3000

Hi, i'm a french user, so first, sorry for my poor english!!!! :roll:

When i want to sync cubase and my 3000, i've got problem with the mtc AND mmc,
can someone explain me in details the configuration in cubase AND in the mpc??all i want to do is to use my mpc in master to sequence vst (dimension pro) and so sync to use my drums samples in the mpc and at the end ,record all in cubase to add effect and do my mastering.
I always work without computer and vst so i'm lost!!
i try to read the different manual, but don't managed... :cry:
thanks a lot

My cubase is sx3 and my sound card an hercules 16/12

I'm using Cubase 4 so I dunno really

I have midi in and out from my 60 to cubase and vice versa, using MTC in Cubase...I'm tracking audio, not midi, so I just press record on Cubase and in a few bars it's all synced up

I don't know anything at all about using vst instruments with the mpc though, my guess is you could track the audio like I do, then go back and use the mpc to record midi data through a vst I dunno how you would get it all sequenced though since I don't mess with Cubase's sequencer

1 start nuendo
2 go to file and choose new project then choos empty
3 select the folder you want to save your project to.
4 create a midi track
5 you will see this ( L-> ) above the little @ in the inspector (click it this L-> )
6 choose local and a large window will pop up called the input transformer.
7since this will be channel one you will set it like this
click on add line tab
click on filter target and choose (channel)
in the condition tab choose (unequal)
in the parimiter tab choose ( 1) this is going to be channe one.
where it says select module tick (1)
where it says ative module tick (1)
where it says mode pick (filter)
NOTE: you must do this to every midi channel.
the only thing that should changed is the (parameter tab)
since this was midi channel one the parameter was set to one.
midi channel 2 will have the parameter set to two and so on.
I hope you understand it...and if you do all 16 channels save it as a template so you
wont have to type it all in again.
now, on the mpc where it says track -01 change drum1 to midi.
you will notice that to the right of the word midi it says :OFF change off to 1A-device 01.
go back to nuendo and load up a midi instrument like you would normally on the first miditrack you set up..
you should (if you have your midicable set up correctly) hear the midi instrument
in nuendo while hitting the pads on the mpc.
now on the mpc change the track to track 2 and select midi and 2A-device-02
and select another midid track in nuendo with a differnt instrument and you should now have both instruments play on its
own channel indipendently..

Just go to the "transport" menu and choose the "synchronization" sub menu. Then send MTC to the midi output that the MPC3K is connected to. In the MPC press "sync" and choose "sync on"

If you can't read the manual, how are you going to read this thread?

You should look around and try a search, synchronisation has been discussed at length around here using most DAW's.
