Fruity loops and a mpc.... short question

Aiite my homeboy and i make beats but we have a problem...... I own and use the mpc 2000xl while my buddy swares by software....... Sometimes i come up with a drumline and sometime he does...... So my question is lets say my friend makes a drumline on FL 7 is there away i can midi to the mpc and change up the drum sounds if i need to, still having the same pattern and save it to the mpc.............


Basically can i take a drumline from FL7 and transfer it through midi to the mpc 2000xl and save it to the mp so i wouldnt need to use FL 7...


BTW i have a m-audio audiophile......

Did i once say i wanna take audio from FL to the mpc.......... I said i wanna take my buddys drumline from FL studio and put it on my mpc and change the sounds if i wanted too.... How would i could i do this if i took the audio????? Comon you gave a wack answer..... All i wanna know is there away i can take the midi info from FL and put it on the mpc..........

You should just be able to export a MIDI file from FL (of the drum sequence) and load it into the MP. It'll have all the note data there (probably on one track) and then you can see which notes (in the program) its changing, and then change which sounds in your program these notes trigger.

Jswagger - I'm all for helping you find a good direction to go in dog but you should read more about what your into. Same as me, I should too.

I know midi does not send sounds..... Or else i wouldve ask how to get sounds from FL to my mpc............

All i asked was how to get the data from FL 7 to my mpc......... And only korce has been helpful enough to give a answer.........

Calm down killer
Take the bassline track that U want in FL7 solo it.
Go to the song mode make sure its the right length.
Export to midi file save to floppy or whatever
Pop in tha xl & load it up.
Get ur midi channels and sound settings straight and commence to makin ur masterpiece.
Oh and buy our shit!!!!! (can't forget that)

yeah, you can just save the midi seq on the pc to a zip or floppy. Since you got the xl, i would look into a card reader.

Or, you could just used a midi cable form his pc to your mpc. I find this way easier for me imo.

yea i have a card reader.......

i did the export midi to my cf card already and it loaded on the mpc but when i pick a drum sound and assign it to pad 1 it doent work......

then i tried loading a program and it still didnt work.......

aiight man check, truce, aiight.

u imported the midi file, cool.

Which one, midi0 of midi 1, u need to know that they are different.

"MIDI Type 0:
Type 0 files have all data on ONE time ordered track.
(1 of 3 defined file types) This is the most widely supported and streams fastest.
MIDI Type 1:
Type 1 have multiple tracks.
MIDI Type 2:
Type 2 are pattern files. (rarely seen)"

are u trying to play the file on ur mpc not being connected mid to fl?

answer all that and we can move on with trouble shooting your situation.

by transferring the mid file into your mpc, all you did was transfer the actual note data and not audio ya dig.

method 1 (manual imo):
fl mid to file to mpc, cool.

in order to have that audio on your pads you need find the notes those sounds were assigned to in fl, get those wav samples outta the fl directory I pointed to you earlier and place them into an mpc programs and assign them to the same notes in your mpc.




method 2: midi
fl mid to file to mpc, cool.

have your mpc midi'd to fl, you should be able to get the fl notes on your pads. the actual sound is not on your pads, it still resides in fl, your are just triggering those fl sounds via the pads. the actual midi setup in fl u have to figure out. I gave you universal stuff here, it can apply to almost any soft sequencer and mpc when they are mid'd together.

holla back when/if you get stuck again.

Aiite dawg, i see you a real dude about it......

I could really care less about bringing the drum sounds from FL to the mpc..... Unless my homeboy really comes up wit a drum sample that makes me say whoa(which in anycase i can take from his computer put it in my cf card and load it)............. All i want is the pattern he banged out on his trigger finger (no homo).........And/or some other stuff he might put down on FL.......


Whatever is the faster/easier way is the best. I have a m-audio audiophile, which incase you dont know is a usb audio interface. So hooking up the midis from the MP to his computer is nothin......


But i think you was on to somethin dawg when you said i gotta find what notes was assigned on FL........Cause when i loaded the mid. file from the card on the mpc it had the tempo and stuff down........
