Share your knowledge on these two classic MPCs

Hey there people,

I'm new to both of these machines, but do I understand correctly that MIDI Out MPC60> MIDI IN S950 won't sync the BPM of a drum loop I have on the s950 to the master BPM of the MPC? Is there a way to get both running in time?
Or is the only way to sync both by setting the BPM on the MPC to the same as the BPM at which you sampled the loop on the S950?

if you want to sync a drum loop on the s950 to content on the MPC 60, you're going to need to know the original BPM of the sample you recorded on the S950, then either do some semitone math to know what speed it plays at pitched up/down... for example -12 semitones will halve the speed of the drum loop and +12 semitones will double the speed of the drum loop... or you can use the time stretch algorithm to alter the length and hence bpm of the loop.
