yo markus, this is not hard at all. simply make sure that your midi connections are correct (ie. mpc "out A" to motif "in"). you'll also need
to connect the "midi out" of the motif to the "midi in A" of the 4000 if you plan to use the motif as a controller when recording sequence info. make sure that the "local" control in the midi parameter section is turn to "off". now that you've done all that, go and make your sequence on the mpc4000. let's say you've loaded some drum samples for your drum track so you select the "part" to use and record a performance. nice work
next, you want the "fx slap bass" for the bass track which happens to be your motif kybd. in the motif, you need to be in the "song,sequence" mode for there to have more than one voice play simultaneously. in the seq page in the 4000, go down to where it says, part (just below the drum/instr option) and turn the jog wheel clockwise once till it says midi A. then move to the left where it says "1" and decide what midi channel you want to use. that's basically it. you will need to write and save program changes before powering off or you will lose your set motif sounds in your songs. this also is really easy. just go to where it says "program change" and press the "window" button (orange one) a window pops up asking for a MSB number, LSB number, and a program number. look at the voice you've selected on your motif sequence page and copy the info. (ei. motif sound is "piano, MSB=63,LSB=0, prog=0) put this same information in the prog change window of the mpc. make sure you leave it turned on when finished. now, if you save your song on the mpc, you also save it with all the sounds you used on the motif. you can get some pretty sick sounding compositions using this method. i use the motif rack, classic triton, mo phatt, and an alesis QSR and add live instruments to my tracks. good luck
makin heat all the way to Zion! choose ye this day whom you will serve.........c'mon saints you know the rest. yeahhhh.
