Well, you don't say what the problem is., except "having trouble"...
But some key points to remember are:
- many sound modules are not Multitimbral when you power them on, you have to switch them into "Performance", "Seq" or "Multi" mode. Only then do they respond to MIDI on more than one channel.
- If you have a MIDI keyboard, and you route it through the MPC1000, check out the MPC's Soft Thru settings. I prefer "As Track", then I can use the MPC to route MIDI to whatever I set in the MIDI field, for the selected active track, on the Main page.
I hate to say RTM, but this isn't the Newbie forum, so: http://www.roland.co.uk/Support/Turbo/XV5080.pdf - "Setting Up For Sequencing"
Or if it's someting else, tell us what you are trying to get done, and what you did so far...
