Hello,
Just playing around with the MPC for the first time this last weekend.
I've built a drum sequence on the mpc in conjuction with other audio and midi tracks in Logic, and have the MPC running as midi sync slave. All is working well. But if I want to move the midi sequence on the MPC over to Logic so that Logic has full control and I can do editing there, how is this done?
With my Korg drum machine it's quite easy... just hit record in Logic for the length of the loop, then turn midi sync off on the Korg. Hit play in Logic and all is well.
The problem I think I'm not understanding is that each track on the MPC can have a different program. And when I set each track to Midi 1A in my sequence on the MPC, and hit record in Logic, it records all the MIDI events being sent, but when I then play the sequence in Logic, the MIDI notes simply get routed to the currently selected track on the MPC.
So I guess what this amounts to is when using the MPC as an external sound source, only one program/track can be used at one time?
For instance with my S6000, I can have each program set as a specific MIDI channel, and therefore control 32 programs at once from Logic. Can I not do something similar with the MPC?
Sorry for the long post. I tried searching and had no luck.
