How do you snyc the MPC3000 to the ASR 10?

Could someone break this down for me.

1. Correct hook-ups

2. Correct buttons to press

the whole thing please as I dont have the manuals


peace

ASR-10 manual:
http://www.evergreen.edu/media/pdf/ASR10_manual.pdf

MPC3000 manual:
http://www.akaipro.com/global/download/archiveOM.html

Better that than someone typing an entire chapter out of each manual.

Better for whom? ;-)

I dont need someone to type out the whole manual

just what connections in the back and what to settings to put the ASR and the MPC to.

Someone should know

I have a 60, but I figure the connections should be close.

1st connect the midi ins and outs appropriately, and make sure your ASR audio outs are connected either to a mixer, receiver or the MPC audio inputs.

2nd go to the midi button on the MPC and find "Midi Sync" than set it accordingly, you know Out 1, Out 2, whichever. than find the "Midi Sync" on your ASR and set it to In A or In B whichever and that should do it.

Now when you hit play on your master your slave will play as well if it has been done correctly. Good Luck!

And the reasoning behind "Cats always talkin that manual sh!t" is because the inquirer needs to read up and attempt to help him/herself before asking others to "do the donkey" per TUTOR.

3k posted the manuals and that could have answered the question if it was read up on. Nothings wrong with asking but nothing is wrong with reading up and studying your own equipment either. Happy beatmakin Mr. Ivory..
You have 2 very good machines...

First of all the MPC 60 and 3000 ( I think ) have audio inputs other than for sampling, check the manual. The 2000 and 2000XL audio inputs are for sampling only!
Secondly, I'm not trippin off of the suggestion to read the manual, but sometimes Cats have already peeped the manual and still no go. Experience is still the best teacher regardless of what some of you cats think. Some people are pure novice producers and have the slightest idea of how to comprehend some of the jargon that is utilized in the manual, not to mention if you want to know something as simple as this why not just ask those more experienced than yourself. I agree if you intend on pursuing a career in music production read as much literature as you possibly can especially the blueprints of the machinery you are handling, but please don't reiterate the fact that everything is in the manual.

"First of all the MPC 60 and 3000 ( I think ) have audio inputs other than for sampling"

I doubt it. Like what?

"sometimes Cats have already peeped the manual and still no go"

The poster already admitted to not having the manual, so he is certainly going to get some grief for not even trying himself. Even more so if they did not even bother to download them. You even said "Experience is still the best teacher" and that includes trying it yourself. Someone spitting out instructions that are right in the manual is NOT experience for the receiver.

"please don't reiterate the fact that everything is in the manual"

We aren't and I do not think anyone here acts that way, but I do know for a fact that everything to answer the question he posted is in both manuals.

We all welcome _specific_ questions after someone has reviewed at least SOME docs relating to the matter. This will save a lot of time. Not to mention that we do not even know what the question is. Does he want to sequence both from the ASR or the MPC, or use both sequencers simultaneously? Is he recording? Multitracking? SMPTE or MTC? Does he even have a mixer? a recorder?

Your points are well taken, but I am not solely referring to this poster. To answer your "I doubt it. Like What?" statement my MPC 60 has an audio input in the rear labeled "return in". Now whether this was intended to be an audio input I don't know nor do I care because it works as one, I have a Roland SC-88 hooked up to it right now to prove it. Please do not take offense to my earlier statement, I have received a lot of helpful pointers from alot of people in this forum. MPC3000 and Lampdog, you have both contributed greatly to my MPC knowledge. It is just kind of frustrating when you have searched through the manual and the older post to find the answer and still can't so you post it here as a last resort and someone states that you should refer to the manual. Reading the posts in this forum is just as infomative if not more than reading the manual. I guess what I'm trying to say is if someone ask for help, and they do not state otherwise, we should not assume they did not read or atleast try to find the information in their manual first.

PEACE

DJ james---right on man

I havent tried it out yet but I will tonite.

I do appreciate the help

to everyone else, I AM SO VERY SORRY TO WASTE YOUR TIME, PLEASE BELIVE ME IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

I will take my insignificant novice non-manual having problems to another board.


that is all

No Prob, don't trip off of that though. The manual is a very handy tool to have and it is pretty comprehensible, but if you can't find anything in there please still feel free to check or ask here. I don't think they were trying to be a$$ holes or anything they were just letting you know that you can download the manuals for free. MPC3000 and Lampdog are both real cool so don't feel like you can't post here.

Peace

I never said everything is in the manual cause I know that's not the case. The manual covers the basics as with most manuals do, I've never seen any "tricks of the trade" in any manuals unless I completely missed them. For those you gotta experiment yourself, find out through friends or come the forums and I'm always glad to help, you can tell by my post. I'm not always correct either, I'm human. That is why I posted the "useful links" topic a while back to clear up some of the PC jargon for people who needed it. But still, happy beat makin to you man.

No doubt, Thomas Ivory, post if you have a prob that you can't figure out on your own you know. Try out the advice we gave you earlier and see if that helps, if not come back and be more specific about what you are trying to do, your exact gear you are trying to do it with and whatnot, and maybe we can come up with some resolutions for you ya know. No offense taken DJames, sorry to make it sounds like that, no blood no foul man.

"It is just kind of frustrating when you have searched through the manual and the older post to find the answer and still can't so you post it here as a last resort and someone states that you should refer to the manual."

My apologies if we had done this.

If someone has already looked in the manual and states this, we usually do not send anyone back for more. If someone is sharp enough to look in the manual and still ask a question, it is pretty specific and very likely to get directly answered (even if manual was not mentioned). It is not terribly hard to determine if someone has not bothered to look in the manual, which is the first place someone should check (unless you own a used Roland piece since Roland charges for their manuals, which could be a legitmate excuse).

"MPC 60 has an audio input in the rear labeled "return in". "

Ah yes.

That's brilliant, I never thought to use it that way.
