New studio! a question about MIDI though

Well after about 10+ years of Hip Hop DJing, I've mad the leap to start producing. All my new gear is either here or on the way. So now in addition to my turntables and mixer, I have an MPC 1000 with JJOS2 and the memory upgrade, a Alesis Micron, MBOX with ProTools, and my old Roland VS880 VX (digital 8 track workstation). I also got an Maudio Uno for my midi set up, but I'm stuck trying to hook up all my stuff Via Midi. Basically with MIDI I want to sync up everything so when I hit record in ProTools, the playback of my other gear starts. I've tried searching around the web and on here but can't find help. So far i have my VS880's(the VS880 is where I record my scratching etc.) MIDI out to the UNO cord labelled TO MIDI OUT. Any help is appreciated!

Hmm. What up with the doubepost man?

Found exactly the same question in the getting started thread

Make sure u don't double post. Questions will be answered anyway.

Triggering the MPC1000 using MIDI Beat Clock with Pro Tools as the master device

Note: (The only type of sync the MPC1000 has and can use is MIDI Beat Clock.)

1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT of your Digidesign hardware (or M-Audio if using M-Powered) to one of the MIDI Inputs of the MPC1000.

On the MPC1000:
2. Go to the MIDI/Sync menu.
3. Set Sync In to the corresponding MIDI input port on the MPC.

In Pro Tools:
4. Set your tempo in Pro Tools. (See instructions at the bottom of this page.)
5. Go to the Setup menu and choose MIDI Beat Clock. Check the boxes for Enable MIDI Beat Clock and the corresponding MIDI output port.
6. Press play. The MPC should now be playing along with Pro Tools.
Note: (Make sure that the value for bars, in the MPC, is NOT set to zero. If it is set to zero, it will not be triggered.)

There is lots of different ways. But this is a very good tutorial...
