if i set the sliders to be say: cc 7 volume, is it only used to send cc volume to ext devices from the mpc, or will the mpc receive this from ext sources to the given track etc?

i'm pretty sure it's only for controlling external gear from the mpc (don't have my gear here right now to test it).

afaik - the MPC currently active track only responds to:
(MIDI CC Number02 or 74 => Filter Cutoff)
(MIDI CC Number71 => Filter resonance) (both OS 2/2xl only)

...& also pitchbend messages. (all os's)

someone correct me if i'm wrong on the volume thing, tho. i've never actually tried it.

i think tbh u r right sooot.
its not hapnin at all down ere, and i do lotsa midi stuff normally, but not been mpcin for a good few months esp. not any midi shyte. not external action anyway.

it thru's any received data, and sends data, but not response in the programs for it, other than the above cc's u mentioned.

time to get the Z8 fired up.

heh

This is the thing that makes me sad everytime I realise that only parameters controllable via midi in are these two :-(((
