ANOTHER REDUNDANT PROTOOLS QUESTION MY APOLOGIES

so i have the mpc2000xl sync'ed with protools, so far i can get protools to control the mpc and all that when i hit play in protools it plays with the mpc. but when i try to record seprate instrument tracks nothing comes up the midi notes dont show up on the screen and im pretty sure i have everything hooked right from my mbox to the mpc.
i followed the instructions on the tutorial posted using cubase since its basically the same
im syncing with the MTC, frame rate at 25 MMC turned on to recieve in the mpc and the mbox recognizes the mpc and is enabled to use the midi beat clock and MTC ,but maybe im doing something wrong any feedback would be apreciated thanks again

damnitman!!!!

Im having the same issue.Do you have PT7 LE and Mbox 2?

"when i try to record seprate instrument tracks nothing comes up the midi notes"

Why try to record midi when Protools was obviously designed to record audio? It seems like it would be easier to just load the MPC's midi file in Protools using a "File/Load" function.

damnit what?!, im just asking a simple question no need to get your panites in a bunch.i used the search button to maybe find a answer or a post from someone with a similar problem but no luck i followed all the instructions in the video tutorial then i tried to do it like it says in the manual and the notes show up but when i try to record another instrument on another track the first initial track gets f*cked up.

yeah im using the MBOX 2 with protools 7

Try multi tracking go to midi on your mpc and higlight midi and hit the open window button and go to multi tracking, that should work play with that I'm having similar probs with my set up

i tried it and highlighted the midi and hit open window and the midi input screen comes up but no multitracking all thats there is pgm change>seq , midi filter option and type of input i want to recieve

strictly out of curiousity...why is it youre trying to record the midi data that youve already sequenced in one sequencer into another sequencer?

and why not just save the sequence to a disk and transfer it into PT and save yourself the time of trying to re-record the midi data again?

good question ^^^^ id kinda like to know as well .. maybe theres a new technique of usein 2 sequencers that im not aware of .. this is like the second or third cat ive seen tryn to use 2 sequencers ... WTf am i missin sumthin' lol

look all i want to do is track out my beats into protools and seperate each instrument on the beat for editing and mixing i want to be able to cut and paste stuff around as i see fit

I used to use both the mpc and PT to sequence midi data but never in the way that it appears to be being used in this case...

I would sequence all drums and samples in the MPC and track that into PT(audio, not midi) and sequence any intstruments(keys, bass, synths, etc.) within PT

so are you tryin to record audio or midi data?
