*FL Studio And Da MPC500*

lets say i have a old Fruity Loops project i open it and i gotta melody on the sequencer but i wanna use the MPC instead of the FPC in FL?

AND could i use the features from the MPC like note repeat in FL and FL would understand the mpc500?i need a interface for that right?

Or what if i have a sample (a chopped up song)and i have the samples in the mpc500 but i wanna record and play but have it record on software too at the same time is this possible?in FL?

oh yeah

i also have M-Audio Studio Pro 3 monitors what cords do i need to hook it up with the 500?

cause it has a red and white cords going out one speaker and going into my computer

which i guess is not gonna fit into the 500 i think its not the right outputs

I had major problems with this, but here's what I was able to do. First of all, the MPC500's samples can ONLY be .wav files (PCM Format - No .ogg or anything else like that). If you had say, one melody or one piano roll or whatever and wanted to use only that part of the whole project in FL, just solo that track or pattern, whatever way you have it set up. Then, render it as a .wav file, 44.1 ghz , 16-bit, and in stereo. Yeah, it makes it much bigger that way, but you can just throw that into the MPC and go to work, no normalizing, no nothing. The whole note repeat thing I'm not really sure about, though. I used FL Studio for a couple years, and this is my first MPC ever. If you have a firewire in your computer, great. If not, since you already have M-audio eqipment, I broke the bank and got the M-Audio FireWire Audiophile. It can be used as an interface for both Audio and MIDI. I could try and explain how I got it to work, but it's complicated. I have 1 turntable, and 1 mixer. But, FL has a mixer, and the M-Audio has a mixer built-in. You need to mess around with it or you will have too much gain, or doubling of sounds, or just overall shitty sounds, man. I'm far from an expert, but I know what am able to do with what I have. Like I said, tell me what you have, and I will see what I can figure out for you.[/i][/b]
