Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Hello. I'm on the phase now when I track my beats into Logic and there is something that I didn't thought about. I frequently use tempo change in my beats and while my Logic is master and I keep all my sequencing inside MPC I'm in a dead corner as I really can't think about solution. I heard Midi Clock follows tempo changes, but I've never used it and it's MPC where I store my tempo changes.
I write it here as it is more MPC problem than Logic I think, and many MPC4K users use Logic (dunno why tough... maybe 'cus it's great program? :p) and I'm the one of them.

So far as Im aware Logic Pro 8 and 9 do not receive midi clock, so what you appear to be asking is not going to happen any time soon.

If all your sequencing is done on the MPC you should be ok, just recored the tracks to Logic complete with tempo changes. You can work with midi timecode for sync or line up all your tracks manually once recorded to Logic.

After all, once the beats are tracked you can easily follow your tempo changes in Logic.

Thanks for help, I was aware of it 2 as Logic is not working as a slave. Pretty **** up, but it always was easy for me to find work around (well, maybe not always, but I always do find one) and this one will be easy I think. There are few options that I can think of and one most obvious and most practical. :)
