Ok, I have been looking around for this and cant find it anywere. I see stuff everywere about how to set-up your MPC (lets say MPC5K) to your workstation (lets say a MOTIF XS) or whatever, but what I want to know is, after I have recorded and saved my performace on the 5K (save entire memory or whatever) and shut off the 5K and the workstation. When I want to come back to load up the song and I cut on my MOTIF and 5K, load the song... then what?

Are the sounds that I saved still gonna play? I know that MIDI saves data but will it save what sounds I used on the MOTIF? Will they be automatically loaded back up or will I have to remember what sounds I used and load them back into the MOTIF? Im just kinda lost at this point.

I just ordered my 5K and im picking it up friday, and ill probably be getting the XS6 not long after so im just thinking ahead. TIA - Thanks In Advance

Have you downloaded or peeped the manuals for both yet?

I doubt if you have to do this every time, you just save the sysex data or dump it to the mpc.
