Hi everyone. I've got an MPC-X that is the centerpiece of my rig. That rig has grown to be pretty big. I'm lucky enough to have a whole room to dedicate to my synths, which leads me to my question.

I'd like to arrange the room to have two separate work areas on opposite ends of the room with the mix position in between - think of a U shape with mix at the bottom of the U and two work areas to each side. Ideally, I'd like each work area to have a sequencer, but I don't want that to be two separate sequencers if you catch my drift. I'd like to be able to sequence the entire thing centrally, without syncing two separate pieces of hardware if possible.

I was wondering if it is feasible to use the MPC software with effectively two controllers - I'd use my MPC-X on one side and probably an MPC touch on the other side. Being able to connect both controllers at the same time would be sweet, but I suppose it'd be workable to disconnect one and connect the other as I move from location to location. The ideal would be if I could remote-control the X from the Touch, but I think that's likely not possible.

Has anyone tried or done anything like this?
