Like I said a coule of answers ago - the 101 book and the all the related excersises are available now through Amazon (about 20 UK pounds)

The further courses are about 300 UK pounds each (and there are a further three of them) So I guess thay do all add up - but i've staggered the courses over a year and a bit now - A: to make sure all the learning sinks in and to give time to sit the exams (which are taken via the Digidesign website - with a pass mark of a whopping 90%! - they obviously want all officially certificated operators to know their stuff) and B: to enable the saving up of funds to be able to afford each section of the course.

All the info regarding the courses etc are on the DIGI website - check it out

Sync in 1

Mode: Midi Clock

MMC Off

Pro Tools:

Setup > Peripherals > Machine control tab

Midi Machine Control (Master) - Tick the enable button and choose the port that your MPC is connected to from the drop down menu.

ID - 0

Pre roll - 90 frames.

Midi Machine control remote (slave)

Tick the enable box and set ID to 127.

Setup > Peripherals > Sychronisation tab

MTC reader port - Any

MTC Generator Port - Choose the Port that the MPC is connected to.

Now when you press the space ber to start Pro Tools the MPC should follow - at the very top middle of the MPC main screen it should read CLK SYNC and the tempo field will change to (EXT) to reflect that it's getting external sync in from PT. - Hope this helps - these are the settings that I have and it works perfectly for me.


I tried to slave the MPC to no avail. I had everything the way you said and it still hasnt worked I wen to the MIDI event window and tried to send the MIDI beat clock to the MPC but it still didn't work is there something else that I am missing?
