Your MPC1000 set up

Roland PCR-80 -> Roland UM880 <-> MPC1000 -> Akai S5000 -> Fantom XR -> Micron <-> EMX-1 -> FS1R <-> qy-700 ::: Behringer ADA-8000 ::: EMU 1820M

I love looking at everyone elses setups, so i'll add mine as well.

I had to consolidate and move my setup to my livingroom, since my studio is unuseable right now without air conditioning (it's 110-113 degrees out here). Here is my new setup:

Mpc 1000<>fireface (using spdif)

Ms2000r<> fireface (analog)

Turntable>kaoss pad2 (phono)

kaoss pad2<>fireface (analog) this can route the turntable to the fireface too.

bass pod> fireface (analog)

guitar pod>fireface (analog)

Random stomp boxes (black finger, tube zipper, fuzz factory, qtron, electric misteress) routed differently between each other for whatever purpose <> fireface (analog)

A couple of mics >fireface (analog xlr inputs w/phantom power)

All of this is sent through the Fireface outputs to a pair of Event 20/20bas's. (I didn't want to drag the sub around)

I am now using the fireface as the mixer/io for all of my equipment. This lets me route anything plugged in to the fireface to any other device very easily. Which means I can sample anything to the mpc and record anything to the cpu, as well as route signals to the ms2k, kaoss pad or stomp boxes and back. On the cpu I mostly use Ableton, Reason, and Cubase.

In the studio I use the same as above, but also have a Ramsa DA-7 going through the fireface by way of 2 Adat in+outs to add 16 more channels. I also use many more mic's, instruments and synths in the studio as well.

(instruments left in studio Juno 60, Nord Lead 1, Korg Electribe EA1 & ES1, Yamaha Rm1x, Korg EX 8000, whurlitzer upright piano, Tama rockstar drumset, and a bunch of amps guitars, basses, mic's, etc..)

Next to the mpc, the fireface is at the center of either studio.

wow, one thing i do know is... as soon as you step outside the pc for making music the cost goes through the roof lol. i already have a ton of stuff lined up to get.

MPC 1k -MIDI1> Access Virus Classic
-MIDI2> Korg EMX1 -> Nord Lead 3 (in a day or 2
-Audio Out (all)> Korg D1600mkII
<- Audio In - PC

MPC 1K

midi 1 > Yamaha CSX > Acces Virus C desktop > Virus C rack xl

midi 2 > Hartmann neuron VS > Yamaha SW1000 > Reason and other VST

Audio outputs recorded in Yamaha DSP-factory

i have an alesis photon x25 + MPC1000 + lexicon omega mixer+ turntables and mixer + pc .......

BUt i'm still tryin to figure out how tah set it up.......

i shud post a new topic fo dat but ima try tah figga it out on mah own 1st.

i use the mpc as follow :

audio routing :

MPC1K

1> DP4 (fx unit) >MG 16/4 (mixer)
2> DP4 > MG 16/4
3> DP4 > MG 16/4
4> MFC42 (Filter) > MG 16/4
ST(analog) > MG 16/4

EPS keyboard > MG 16/4
S3000XL
1> MG 16/4
2> MG 16/4
Z4
1> MG 16/4
2> MG 16/4
microphone > MG 16/4

MG 16/4

ST1 > Firewire 410 ( audio pc card) > speakers
ST2 > DPS 12i (DTD)
FXsend > DP4 > FXReturn

Midi routing :

MPC1K :

OUT A > S3000XL > Z4
OUT B > DP4 > MFC42
IN A > EPS keyboard

stanton T80 > mixer > mpc for samplin > midi out > triton Tr

real simple dont got much

SL 1200 MKII (CH. 1) --> DJ Mixer (MAIN) --> Amp + Speakers
DJ Mixer (ZONE) --> MPC (IN)
MPC (MAIN) --> DJ Mixer (CH. 2)

That way, you can hear your records without having the mpc in record mode . I just have to make sure I switch chanel 2 off when I'm in recording to be avoid the MPC and mixer from making feedback.

PC is in another room, that's were I edit the samples and save em to a compact flash card. Works fine for me.
