ADAT settings in DAW for multitracking

Hi friends ! I'm just trying to track out through the ADAT of my MPC connected to the ADAT of RME Multiface 2. The problem is that i just don't know how to set in my DAW (Samplitude) 8 tracks each playng a track of the MPC and then just to record them simultaneously. I know that all the DAWS have a similar settings in this situation so I guess you can help me. All my synths are plugged in the IN"s of the RME. And when I try to set a channel playing only one preset of a synth it plays all the sounds of that synth (used in the project) in one channel. I just can't separate the sounds. ON each channel in my DAW I can choose between 17 IN"S , IN (1+2), IN (3+4) etc ... and 17 OUT's - that's when the channel is in STEREO. When I choose MONO i get 18 mono IN"s and 18 mono OUT's. I tried many variations in mono and stereo but didn't find a way to separate each sound per channel. Would you help me please !

Thanks Lampdog ! I'm sequencing in the MPC three synths - Kurzweil, Korg and Roland. All the machines are connected to the RME IN's and the ADAT of the MPC5000 is connected to the RME. Kurzweil is connected to 1-2 IN of the RME, MPC to IN"s 7-8 and Roland to 5-6. That's the set up.

When you say the MPC mixer you mean the PRGMixer or the TrakMixer ? How can I select a channel to a track, not to a single pad sound ? Because you can select channels only from the Program Mixer, but this is only for a single sound . How can I select a channels to the tracks where I have melodies played from the synths. I can find a way to choose a channel on a whole track ... Or I'm missing something ?

In the previous post I wrote the model of the MPC - 5000. In MPC5000 there is not an option to add a channel on a whole track, you have only PAN, MUTE/SOLO and volume parameters for the tracks ... That's why I'm so confused . I don't know how to separate the tracks on their own channels (1-8) so that they can be detected by the ADAT in the samplitude tracks.

Yes I have the same connections like you wrote.

Yeah it would be strange if the MPC4000 can do this and the newer 5000 can't ...I'll check the manual again .

By the way I'm recording with this setup for years. So everything around the connections is right. I used to track out only one track at a time through the main out's because I didn't have an interface with ADAT. Now I bought the RME MAINLY for multitracking but I have no luck .

Thanks for the help Lampdog !

Yes I have a green adat light on my box. That shows the connection status. I don't have technical problems, but there is some setting that have to be made. I tried to change the RME to 48khz but the box is not active and is set to 44100 by default ... Damn !

And now i found an error in the manual because in the Track Mixer section it says

" Each column indicates track 1 though 16 from the left and the currently selected track is highlighted. The row at the top is the 'OUT' field, where
you where you will assign a specific track to a specific assignable output.."



But there is not such a row at the top of the track mixer ! It's on the Program Mixer (F1) only where you can choose a channel only for sound of the program.
