I'm gonna give this another go coz nobody replied to my previous thread..

Basically, I cannot get the MPC and Logic to sync. I want the MPC to Master Logic (Slave).

Midi out A from the MPC is going to the IN of my MOTU 828 interface.

I'm not too sure what the best way to do this is.

I've included all the relevant pics and a video to show whats actually happening when trying to sync.

Please let me know if you have any idea as to what I'm doing wrong.

Watch the video below to see exactly whats happening

I've set my MPC to become Master (as shown below)

I have set up Logic's synchronization (as shown below)

I also would like to know how to Slave the MPC when tracking beats back to Logic.

Thanks again guys.

i've not tried to do what you're doing but in pic 2, the Logic screenshot, Should that 'enable external sync' box not be selected?

I've tried that. Nothing changed

Ok, so I've managed to work this.

Now I have another problem.

I've synced the MPC and Logic via MTC, however, when I try record something on the MPC, the metronome is so out of sync with the beat in Logic. It might be to do with the MTC frames. I know nothing about this so any help would be wikid!!
