:? I'VE GOT MY MPC SLAVED TO MY MAC RUNNING CUBASE WITH MIDI TIME CODE, AND ALL WORKED FINE UNTIL TODAY...I'D PROGRAMMED A VERY QUICK DRUM TRICK, AND WHEN I JUST PLAYED THE MPC, IT PLAYED FINE. HOWEVER, WHEN I PLAYED THE MPC & THE COMPUTER, HALF OF THE DRUM HITS DIDN'T PLAY. I HAVE NO OTHER SYNC-ING ISSUES SO THIS SEEMS MIGHTY STRANGE...ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS COS I REALLY WANT TO FINISH THIS TUNE!??

I don't really know but maybe try to sync cubase to the mpc so that when
you hit play o9n the mpc, cubase syncs to the mpc....

let me know if this helps

What do you mean by "half doesnt play"?

I know that the first bar is gone when you sync Steinberg to hardware, but after the first bar everything plays normal. (also MTC)

Maybe its your soundcard.. Wich one do u have?


tip: CAPS/ SHIFTLOCK is on the leftside of your keyboard :P

it's hooked up fine - bar 1 on cubase plays bar 1, bar 5 plays bar 5 etc....no matter where i play it from, half the notes in just the drum fill don't play. no better when i sync cubase to mpc either.
