Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By King Dutch Fri Oct 10, 2025 3:52 pm
I want to use my mpc x and my xl at the same time. My goal is to use my X for its plugins and xl for drums. I plant to track out through my tascam model 16 into studio one 7 pro. How should I route everything so that it all works together. My reason is I don't own any keyboards so im basically using my X as my keyboard.

X audio in mixer.
X midi din into midi interface.

*alternatively, X usb into mpc 3 computer software, open that software as vst2 (no vst3 support) in daw as a plugin.

2kxl audio in mixer.
2kxl midi din into audio interface.

mixer into computer via usb.
midi interface into computer via usb.

audio and midi use separate routes into computer.

Me, I don't do any of this, roll at your own risk.
