my mpc and e-mu mo phatt midi question

hello all....my problem is this...i have my mo phatt midied up to my mpc when i try to play the arps or audition, the, sound, it wont work why?....it plays regularly when i use my pads on the mpc....it just wont play the audition or the arps.....why is this?....any help would be much appreciated....thanks....p

do you have any cables connected to your mophatt OUTPUTS? to hear sounds from the mophat, you need to connect it to a channel on your mixer.

you can hear from playing the mpc because its connected to the phatt via midi. the mo phatt is sending the instructions to the mpc what to play. and im sure you have the outs on your mpc connected...so you're hearing what's in the mpc, but you wont hear anything directly from the mo phatt..

am i making sense? i may be wrong but do you have your mo phatt outputs connected to a mixer?

thanks for the reply "Smoove Move"......yeah my mophatt is plugged up to my mixer and the volume up.....its weird it wont play arps our auditions even when i press the audition button on the unit itself.....im no midi expert by any means....i understand the basic concepts and how to use the channels......i even tryed just hooking up my midi keyboard and it still does the same......any ideas?.......maybe reset the mo phatt to factory settings?......does anyone know how to do that?....thanks for all the help...Sticman Tha Sidewinder

If you have local off set on the Phatt it might disable the audition and arps on the keyboard. Try switching setting Local ctrl to on.

that does not exist on the unit.....i even went to e-mu's site and peeped the manual index to find the local setting......none present......this is very frustrating......i appreciate everyone trying to help though....(stic passes the spliff to yall.)

I think the Local control function on the Phatt is called KNOBS/RIFF MIDI OUT:

From the Manual: Under the Master Menu:

This function allows you to select whether or not MIDI controller data is
transmitted when you turn the front panel Controller knobs. The knobs
transmit on the controller numbers defined by the Real-time Controller
Assign parameter (see page 75). This function also enables or disables transmission
of Riff note data over MIDI when the Audition button is pressed.
If Deep Edit is enabled, “Knobs MIDI Out” does not work while in any of
the editing menus (Master, Edit, Save/Copy).

hmm...im not sure..thats weird

sorry man i dont know....hopefully kraster has the answer for you

kraster bro...........GOOD LOOKING OUT!!!!!!!........everything is off and running like it should be.......i appreciate you taking your time to help....and all others to.......K+........p

How to hook up MPC 2000xl and Mo Phatt & Oxygen 49 midikeyboard? I would like to play Mo Phatt with midikeyboard and sequnce in 2KXL. Now I have hooked the shit up, but when hitting keys it plays also samples from MPC which have same notes than Mo Phatt.

on the main screen, the track you want to sequence the mo-phat, go down to the bottom and change the 'DRUM' assignment to MIDI and then choose the correct channel to the right of that.

Thousand thanks! Works great.

I used to have an e-mu pk6 with the mo phat rom, long since departed. If you are only using channel 3 on the mo phat, can't you set it to the normal program mode on this midi channel. Meaning not in multi timbal /performance mode? So it can/will only respond to incoming midi on channel 3?
