Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hi everybody!
I´m trying to pick a beat from reason to the mpc in order 2 mix it through the 8 outs of my mpc to a hardware mixer and give to my cold sound in reason the mpc bad-ass sound.
So i have exported my reason beat as a midi file. I have load the midi file in the mpc so it has the right tempo and the correct names appear on each track as well.
All my files in reason are rex files so i have export my rex files as audio and put them in the mpcmaker (mac), starting in pad A1. Then i load them in the MPC
When everything starts nothing sounds in its place.
I understand that in the mpcmaker the first note is number37-C#2 so maybe there is a wrong connection between the messages in the midi file and the midi conections that pgmmaker makes when i put my rex files on it....... and that makes everything sound out of the place
Can anybody tell me if there is a way to set this quickly and correct?????
I hope i´ve explained everything right :lol:
Peace

I have notice that, for example, my first kick on my drum pattern in reason starts in the piano roll at C1, but the mpcmaker doesnt have C1, and starts and C#2... what can i do to resolv this?
Peace again
:roll:

why dont you put the sounds in the mpc first, then trigger them via reasons sequencer, once you have it down, then put the midi into the mpc.

mpc is looking for a certain sound to be on a certain note.

Your notes aren't matching up to your sounds.

i havent used reasons sequencer, if it is piano roll ish cant you just shift your note's to make the corresponding pads. or are sample's at fixed note values in reason.

The problems is that the mpcmaker starts, lets say at note 32 A1, and then A2 y note number 45, I dont understand why the notes correspond with the pads in such a extrange way. Well, I dont know wich are the notes in the piano roll of reason, can anybody tell wich is the note sequence in a normal piano?? (for example, C1. C#1....)Thanks again!!!

if mpcmaker is the problem then do it manually. its mapped like that to correspond with gerenal midi or some shiz. you can reset the mpc into a chromatic order by using the auto chrom feature without assigning a sample to auto chrom, if ya get my drift.
