I will do my best to explain what is going on. Note: This is an issue I am experiencing in both Standalone mode and Controller Mode.

Roland FA06 = 06 and MPC X = X

I have a 06 that I am running audio out into my X. As of right now I have it in input 1/2 because I can both hear sound and record in those inputs. I am also running a usb midi from the 06 to the X. I have 5 point cords but I couldn't get them to work so I stayed with the usb midi once it started working. I am then running audio out of the X to my Rodecaster pro 2 where I can then hear the sound in my headphones. I was able to set up MPC 2.0 and again in input 1/2 I can record and play audio in my software.

In MPC 2.0 I have my preferences to the X and I am using all line ins and line outs. I create two tracks and one has the X and one has the 06. I can record and hear everything. If I do it in standalone mode I make the two tracks again and I can hear and record everything. I will note that in the controller mode sometimes when I switch the 06 to different keyboard styles it will continue to echo for a long time and the only way I can get rid of it is to turn it off and back on but that's a problem for another day. Let's just pretend everything works as it should.

My issue is that I want to use input 1 for a mic as it needs phantom power but I can not because I can only get the 06 to work in input 1/2. When in controller mode I play my sequence and I can hear it perfectly but if I switch the inputs to 3/4 I can not hear the 06 audio any more. In the MPC 2.0 presences audio is still set for all input and all outputs so it should work. I have adjusted every knob, switch, and control that I can think of that has to do with sound. All my audio knobs are set to loud sound, I have the switches to "back" not "front" but nothing I do will allow me to hear the 06 on 3/4.

What am I doing wrong? Does any one use 3/4 and did you have to do anything special to make it work? Thank you for all of your help.

Hero!!! Seriously the last piece. Didn’t even thinks to look there and honestly wouldn’t even know that switching it would make it work. Thank yo very much. Roland is working, MPC x is working and Mic is working! Honestly couldn’t be more thankful! I was stressing and after a week of messing around with everything I was thinking I was never going to figure it out. :worthy:
