The studio is goin out the window in a bit.....

Aitte heres the deal..... I got a mpc 2000 xl and i just picked up a yamaha e303 keyboard, to build up my key skills... Now i got 2 midi cables and i plugged them in correctly but thats where my problems come into play...

One i lost all control of my rec+play button on the mp... I hate the fact that i gotta press record on the keyboard in order to record my melody and such..... I rather have it on the mpc where i get my little count down before recording.....Plus it looks the melody is being recorded on the keyboard rather than the MPC.... Maybe something about setting a master and slave???

Second, i get no sound from the keyboard on the mpc (maybe its because i should plug the audio output from the keyboard to the ins of my mpc... But i hear sounds from the keyboard through its speakers...... Could this lead to a problem when its time to record on my computer....


Third once i load up from my drums on the mpc and i try to figure out how to use the keyboard and mp together, the drum kit justs go buh bye..... WTF is up..... Im willing to read on the instruction book but ...the yamaha book doesnt explain jack......But maybe someone could tell me where to look on the MPC book....Im not lazy, im willin to learn just need alittle guidence i guess..... THANKS IN ADVANCE....

Yo, topics on this shit are EVERYWHERE on here man. Ill give you one though............ Dont plug the audio outs from the keyboard to the ins on your MPC (unless you plan on sampling it).

Honestly think about what youve just said think about it. Read some books, think about the signal flow. Think about what you said recording on the keyboard. Put it all together. Knowledge is power and so is the search tool.

Peace
