Synced with Cubase turns record off

Hi Fam!
I recently bought an MPC4000....a Blue one...its AWESOME

I have it synced to Cubase using Midi Code, with Cubase as the Master. This works fine.....start on cubase makes the MPC Start...no delay....

Say I am working on a section of my recorded beat.....say bar 1 -> 9
I have this section looping in Cubase with L locator at 1 and R locator at 9.
I have an 8 bar sequence in my MPC.

I press start in Cubase, my MPC starts playing with EXT as bpm....
if i press overdub....then i can record some notes.....however each time the bar goes back to the beginning...the overdub button turns OFF automatically on the MPC....

how can i set it up so that the mpc just loops like when it isnt synced.....ie the overdub button dont turn itself off

peace

Press "record" instead of overdub. But you'll have to press and hold it while you start cubase. That's the easiest way of doing it. But I think you can also set the mpc to engage in record mode, not sure & don't quote me on this, but I'll do some research myself.

Plus did you find anything in the manual that references your problem?

thanks for your reply

i got it working.....midi timecode instead of clock...on both sync page in mpc4000 and in cubase i choose midi timecode as internal source.....and as midi timecode destination midi out (PC), follow project time)

i was initially using midi clock.....silly me

Yep, mtc all day long. But cool, glad you found your problem.
