I've been searching for the last 20 mins and can't really find anything with sync'ing Apple Logic.. Only mostly stuff with Cubase and Pro Tools more or less.

I have it sync'ed so that when I hit the transport keys on the MPC, Logic will start/stop etc etc. Here are the two main problems I'm having..

1. The tempo keeps jumping every few milliseconds inside Logic by maybe 1-.5 bpm.. is that tight enough to be recording? Or should it be stable and COMPLETELY sync'ed?

2. When I do playback with Logic, it misses maybe about 1-4 ms of the first bar right when it starts playback .. this ends up cutting off some sound.

I have my MPC set at the following:

Sync IN (In:1)
Mode: Off
Receive MMC: ON

Sync OUT (Out:A)
Mode: Midi Clock
Receive: ON

Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.. thanks!

set logic to midi clock as well....I think thats it.....open up the parameters and make sure that the logic program and the mpc are set to the same thing and it should lock dead on with no problems. What version of logic are you running?

I still can't get a complete tempo lock..the tempo in logic keeps jumping approximately 1 bpm..

Is there anyway to get a solid lock?

I am using Logic Express 7.. hoping to upgrade to Logic Pro 7 in a couple months.
