Yeah Im sure by the time it rolls over to Seven there will be a plugin MPC in protools which would be dope. I know that seven is going to have the REX and REX2 file format full integrated. DIgi is finally catching up in the MIDI side of things

That isnt true, Version 6.8 can be synced to the MPC. I have used the midi clock off my mpc to run timing in PT LE


Cool, have they fixed the .wav writing problems so you can edit and then drop straight back in the mpc?

it all depends on what sample rate and bit rate you have your pro tools running at. remember that the 1000 can only read 16bit wavs and 44.1k

The MPC still won't read .wavs made in PT, no matter what the sample rate and bit depth are. .wav funtionality is just tacked on to PT and it writes them very sloppily. The MPC is very fussy about what it will read. You have to re-write them in another program. Try it.

i've done a PT session and took a sample from there and saved it as a wav then i brought it over to my mpc with no problem. so when i said that, I was speaking from experience.

Mine's digi too, I'm gonna have to check that out. I got told that cause sdII and aiff were native for pt and wav was just kind of extra the encoding was bad. I've tried bouncing to 44/16 out of a 44/24 session and it wouldn't work, but if I opened the file in cubase then exported it again it was fine. Are you talking cutting straight out of a 44/16 session or dithering and bouncing? Thanks for the info anyway.

i start my session as 44.1/16 so if i'm going to cut out to put in the mpc, it's already coded as such.

Maybe that's it, I was trying to cut stuff out of a session originally recorded on a mix system. Cheers.
