ok ok ok watch this, from binger0 informative newbie stuff , bbsound post and
research i did.this is the config i worked out. please correct me if i am wrong here or is there a silpler way, (note i have no hardware modules :!: )

keyboard midi out into mpc midi 1
mpc midi A into usb midi interface for software sequencer.
mpc controls sequencer and and note input. ALL MIDI sequences done on MPC.

MPC connected to prtools via MTC.

i am going to buy the 8 out card, so all sample loops and drum hits will come from the mpc itself straight into my mixer.

connected via rewire is reason to cubase and cubase to pro-tools 6.1
going for the digi 001, second hand price same as M-audio 1010 soundcard.

with rewire i can set pro-tools to record[b]"audio"[/b]straight through from the virtual instrumets in reason and cubase that is being controlled by the mpc.

now having all that beatifully laid audio of virtual synth modules. i then record mpc audio into protools to accompany the existing tracks. from here i edit, comp etc....

then from there i can run "all audio" from tools into hardware mixer and all outboard effects.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn !!!! :wink: :lol: 8)

why do you need two host apps (cubase and pro tool)? you could rewire reason to pro tools.

You could do all of your midi sequencing in pro tools. With all of the edit features, you could clean up all of your individual midi tracks, then record each of them simultaniously into into one stereo track and save yourself some hd space.
