I'm having problems syncing Cubase SE with my MPC. I use to use a *cough cough* H20 version of Nuendo 3 but now I got myself a legit copy of SE. When I would track my beats into Nuendo, I had it set up so that I could enable the record button with out anything playing. Then when I would press play on my MPC, it would start playing/recording. Unlike Nuendo, Cubase SE can NOT receive Midi, only send it. So here is where my problem comes in. How can I set it up to do the same thing in Cubase? I have my Output A on my Midi Sport 2X2 sending Midi Clock to my MPC, and I have my MPC receiving Midi Clock in Slave Mode but nothing happens. I just updated the OS too. Any ideas?

As far as what that video shows, I think I have everything set up properly. One thing that I know is wrong is how the tempo on the MPC doesn't change to (EXT). Anyone know why that is? Here is how everything else is setup.

Midi Interface
Midi cable going from the MPC's Midi In 1 to the interfaces Midi Out A

MPC
Sync in :1
Mode:MIDI CLOCK
Receive MMC:OFF

Cubase SE
Send Midi Clock: Out-A USB MidiSport 2X2 {Emulated}

Anything look wrong here?
