Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By rondiesel Sun Mar 18, 2007 5:22 pm
I have my MPC 2000 hooked up to the computer thru a usb MIDI device. I have the Sync In set to MIDI CLOCK. I'm confused with MIDI in general but how do i set up ACID as a MASTER? All i want to do is be able to press play in ACID (which i use for dumping beats) and control the playback of my MPC 2000. ive checked the manual. ive gotten as far as controlling REASON playback with my MPC but other than that...confusion...appreciate help!

since ive been looking this stuff up i have a better explanation

i need
ACID - Master
MPC 2000 - Slave

but im unfamiliar with MIDI and im still reading up on it so hopefully ill come across it and if i beat anyone to the punch ill post up the solution myself for anyone who has similar queries, i still appreciate help tho!!

peace

You have less than 200 posts so you've never seen mine and/or others peoples signatures, very useful stuff in peoples signatures around these parts.

They are links, click on them.

u always help me lol

i dont know if u know acid too well, but is there a way to record onto 2 tracks instead of one? example - track 1: mono L track 2: mono R


i got acid 5.0

i usually did that in CEP 2.0 and then imported my tracks into ACID

but now i see the ACID MIDI Config is better and id like to do all i can in that if possible

I can't remember exactly, don't have acid loaded here at work, when I get home I'll have to check it out, I got Acid 6. I'm pretty sure the menus aren't all that different.

In VEGAS I can right click on the label (where you can input the name of the track) and get to the input routing. It MAY be similar to that. Check that out, right click all over the place on a track and see what menus you come up with.

I'll check later on.

Look in your Acid manual for "Recording Audio" or something similar.

I have a acid 6 manual and that's where I found the
answer, check the 5 manual.
