anyone in the detroit area

alright my question goes out to anyone that has been making some music and can hook up gear.... Ive had all my gear for about 4 months which include a

Roland Tr-909
akai mpc2000xl
Nord 2 keyboard
Behringer mx2642 mixer
drawmer 30 compressor/limitor

As far as hooking up your gear, that's no problem.. just depends on how you want it to interact with each other.. I would midi the keyboard, and sample the 909, but then again, since it's analog, you may want to trigger that via the MPC.. there's a lot of combo to go with. I'm at 8 and Wyoming.. soon to be in the New Center area (the other side of the freeway from henry ford hospital), so if your close by, holla at me.

So what pieces do yo have hooked up so far? Just glancing at your equipment listing, your hang up could be just a matter of setting up your midi chain. Run the Tr 909's midi in into your MPC midi B port. Then run your Nord keyboards midi in into the MPC's midi A port. Also run a second midi cable from your Nord's midi out int one of your MPC's midi in port. Either one of the two midi ports on the rear left of the MPC. This will allow you to use the Nord as a controller as well. Now in order to hear the sounds from your gear run two lines/cables from each piece of out gear. I believe they are all going to be 1/4 - 1/4 plugs. This way you can have control of your pans/left & right channel mixes over all of your gear.
As for monitors you didn't say if you had some. No matter that part is self explanitory. As for the Compressor I can't speak on, however someone else in the forum could answer that question for you. Provided every piece of your equipment minus the mixer is midi capable all you have to do is adjust your midi channels.
