Hi, just wondering if anyone is successfully running a Tascam Model 12/16/24 with the MPC 3.4 beta?
I can hear everything play through ok but the Tascam faders do nothing.

Update: Ok I've tried it now on v2.15.1 but am having the same issue. I can set the outputs on the MPC to go to different tracks and I'm getting a signal through to the Tascam ok. I can also record onto the SD card with no problem. But moving the faders... any of them.. does nothing. Panning L & R does nothing either. I'm assuming this must be a setting or button on the Tascam that isn't configured properly. I've seen a few setup videos online about using the Tascam with an MPC but the guys just seem to plug in a USB cable and everything magically works. I'm confused!

I'd have to check, but I've certainly done this and without any great faff. (Unless you mean remotely controlling the faders, pan etc on the MPC mixer with the M12, which might be possible but I've not done. I just mean controlling the MPC outputs to the M12 once they are routed there.) Have you checked the settings of the mode switches on each channel of the M12? Setting them to direct/pc/mtr will do different things.

(Also you can elect to have DAW (=MPC) output 1/2 to go to inputs 9/10 to stop wasting those two mono inputs.)

Hi guys,

New to the forum. Sorry to jump into the discussion like this. It is actually more like a question to you guys....

Does the MPC key 37 can be connected to the Tascam Model 12 just as seen in some reviews with the MPC One Plus as a DAWless integration using its class compliant capabilities? I am looking to buy the device and that would be my major issue since I already own the Tascam.

Thank you in advance!
