syncing up the MPC with Cubase SX....

hi y'all

am getting an MPC but dont know yet which (2000xl or 4000)....

as far as syncing with cibase SX on a PC goes, you use MTC sync right??

which is normally put as master and which as slave??

I have read once or twice people using SX as master.
But the whole reaosn Im getting the MPC is to get away from my lousy "nearly right" PC timing and use the supposedly "BANG ON THE NAIL" timing of the MPC...

so if I end up syncing bvack to cubase as master am i not gonna end up getting my crappy old PC timing back again!!!???

cheers

make sure you do the following once you get it. this will save you so much trouble

1 start nuendo / cubase
2 go to file and choose new project then choos empty
3 select the folder you want to save your project to.
4 create a midi track
5 you will see this ( L-> ) above the little @ in the inspector (click it this L-> )
6 choose local and a large window will pop up called the input transformer.
7since this will be channel one you will set it like this
click on add line tab
click on filter target and choose (channel)
in the condition tab choose (unequal)
in the parimiter tab choose ( 1) this is going to be channe one.
where it says select module tick (1)
where it says ative module tick (1)
where it says mode pick (filter)
NOTE: you must do this to every midi channel.
the only thing that should changed is the (parameter tab)
since this was midi channel one the parameter was set to one.
midi channel 2 will have the parameter set to two and so on.
I hope you understand it...and if you do all 16 channels save it as a template so you
wont have to type it all in again.
now, on the mpc where it says track -01 change drum1 to midi.
you will notice that to the right of the word midi it says :OFF change off to 1A-device 01.
go back to nuendo and load up a midi instrument like you would normally on the first miditrack you set up..
you should (if you have your midicable set up correctly) hear the midi instrument
in nuendo while hitting the pads on the mpc.
now on the mpc change the track to track 2 and select midi and 2A-device-02
and select another midid track in nuendo with a differnt instrument and you should now have both instruments play on its
own channel indipendently..
