Mpc 2000xl +sp 404+ mackie mixer aux send setup

Em I able to record the effects of the sp 404 into the Mpc 2000xl thru the aux send and return of mixer in real time?

if you just want to sample the 404 with fx into the mpc, yes you can hook it up to a channel, hook that aux up to the mpc, then record normally.

if you are processing the mpc with the 404 fx...no. you can't playback and record at the same time on that mpc.

Oh ok I was just looking for a easy way to apply effects from the sp 404 into Mpc without all the hassle of disconnecting my mixer. So what your sayin is If I had sp 404 hookup to the mixer aux send with the effect I wanted it would only record to my daw and not the Mpc?

i don't know what you are trying to apply fx to.

what i said still stands, you cannot record into and playback form the mpc at the same time. anything else, sure.

I have the exact same setup. and I use it like this....

.


So are you applying effects before you put it in the Mpc or are you applying effects in realtime in Mpc while the sequence is playing?

Effects go on the sample as they record in the mpc

or if you have one of those mackies with the mute send / alt group, you can use that.
