why is my mpc 4000 responding to all midi channels with audi

audio unit in logic....i have the imposcar running midi so i can play it with my pads and also i have a controller set up with knobs so i can do control changes

out controller to into mpc 4k
out from mpc 4k to into my mt4 midi interface

i would like to have it set up so i can just have one midi channel playing at a time instead of all

does anyone know a solution to this problem? im running logic 6.0

Well, what your problem reminds me of is when you have a midi setting of either OMNI, or POLY. So either in the MPC or in Logic, probably Logic, look into the MIDI settings and fiddle around with stuff.

this worked with Nuendo you will have to translate it to logic language
but imsure its possible just read this and look at your logic screen and im sure with a little work it will come to you

1 start nuendo
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..

Turn Omni Off....

Bump! and thanks for this.. i recently re-installed Cubase 5 and after that i just couldn't trigger individual channels with my MPC any longer, it triggered either a single selected midi track in Cubase, meaning i could only use one instrument.. or it triggered all at once no matter which midi track i had on the MPC, and turning off Omni in the various instruments didn't do anything, assigning a midi channel didn't do anything.. etc.. i had no idea how i had managed to get it to work before, because none of this were needed then.. before, i think all i needed to do was to create midi track and assign a channel.. so have no idea what had changed after i re-installed... i were going crazy as it seemed so unnecessarily stupid, i mean assigning a midi channel should imo be all that is needed, then after that if things need to be more advanced, that's when you go and make changes and dive deeper... it should work right from the start... so nothing i did helped until i started to mess around with this.. LOL.. never had use of the input transformer before but now it works... just find it very mysterious and am curious to what kind of changes was made for me to suddenly need all this to get it to work..

anyway, cheers!
