Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By Str8 FiRe Wed Jun 01, 2005 5:18 am
I went to Rick Rocks(West Coast producer) website(www.rickrockbeats.com), and what I notice was. He was kicking a beat on his MPC and he added sounds from his keyboard. Once he pressed play on his MPC, what he added on his keyboard also started playing. I'm trying to figure out how he exactly has his equipment hooked up?? What do you guys think??

He's using his mpc to record the midi notes played on his triton, and then controls playback of the mpc and the triton with the mpc at the same time.

http://www.mpc2000xl.com It's in the manual too, under basic Midi setup.

some people just can't get into the books, they want the quick answer. I just help where i can, we all started from somewhere. I honestly think the search engine is to vague. You put in a search and the dumbest shiiit comes up!

" they want the quick answer."

There is no 'quick answer' for midi setups. They are going to have to study or pay someone to come over and show them.

Here's and example of a typical MIDI setup usin an MP and Triton keyboard:

1. TRITON MIDI OUT -> MPC 2000XL MIDI IN A
2. TRITON MIDI IN -> MPC 2000XL MIDI OUT A

Set the XL up for MIDI beat clock:

1. Press SHIFT + MIDI SYNC

2. In the left window, select "Sync In A"

3. In the right window, select "Sync out A & B"

Now setup a new sequence on the MPC or if you already have an existing sequence, go to a new track. On the new track, change the source from DRUM to MIDI, then rotate the data wheel to change to channel 1A. MIDI channel 1A corresponds to Track 1 on your Triton, MIDI channel 2A->Track 2 on the Triton, etc.

Make sure you read your MPC's manual or at the very least, download the MPC 2000XL Ebook from this site, everything I've just told you is in that Ebook and in the manual.

peace

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has this problem.
