Hey guys

I found this text on how to get those two connected, but I JUST DONT GET IT :D

I'm lost here.. This part confuses me:

"and select Midi Out
> to the letter which port you used and a midi channel. eg A-1 (if the Blofeld
> is connected to the Midi Out A port of the MPC)"

Where do I do this? In the midi setup menu?

Damn, I may be dumb but can someone explain the parts that may be lost in translation?
Peace //B

1. Record in on 2k.2kxl is ONLY active in the RECORD screen.

2. IRT to #1 - While on the 2k, 2kxl main screen, you will NOT hear the Blofeld if it's audio outs are plugged into the mpc record ins.

3. Mpc main out AND Blofeld main out -> mixer/audio interface.

Mixer/audio interface main out -> powered monitors or amp/receiver -> passive speakers.
