WWW.STUDIZZY.COM | http://blogs.myspace.com/studizzy | www.mpc-forums.comUltimate MPC / DAW setup V1.3I searched all over the internet to find this solution but found none so I came up with this solution......Equipment:· MPC· DAW· 2 MIDI cables,· 4 audio cables· Audio interface with 4 simultaneously recordable audio inputs, 1 MIDI in, 1 MIDI outI will be using the MPC1k running (jj OS free), Pro tools8 and the Digi002 sound card (This will work with any DAW's and MPC's but the setup will differ slightly )Cable Hook up:MIDI cable 1: MPC MIDI out A > Digi002 MIDI in 1MIDI cable 2: Digi002 MIDI out 1 > MPC MIDI in 1Audio cable:1: MPC stereo out L > Digi002 input 3 Audio cable2: MPC stereo out r > Digi002 input 4 Audio cable3: MPC mix out1 > Digi002 input 5 Audio cable4: MPC mix out2 > Digi002 input 6 Audio cable5: MPC mix out3 > Digi002 input 7 Audio cable6: MPC mix out4 > Digi002 input 8(I chose to use Digi002 input 3,4,5,6,7 and 8 so that input channels 1,2 are left free for the Microphones. Feel free to use whatever as long as you keep track)Pro tools track Setup:Midi track: Midi input receive all.Midi Output Send to MPC (I used MIDI out 1, or channel 1)AUX track: Stereo input 3 and 4.Output your speakers (I used stereo out 1 and 2)Audio track 1: mono input 5Audio track 2: mono input 6Audio track 3: mono input 7Audio track 4: mono input 8Configuration (Pro tools to MPC):The point here is to Send your pre-recorded midi code to the MPC as well as its time code. NOTE: (The only type of sync the MPC1000 has and can use is MIDI Beat Clock.)· Setup > MIDI > MIDI Beat Clock. Check the box for "Enable MIDI Beat Clock" and select the corresponding MIDI output port (I had to set this to midi port2 but it's really connected to midi out 1 why I don't know but it worked) http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=54&langid=100&itemid=27770· Setup > MIDI > MIDI input enable. Select all your inputs are checked off especially the one you want to use with the MPC· Options > MIDI through. Must be checkedConfiguration (MPC to Pro tools): Set the Midi communication protocol: (Mode > Pad9 > F1)· Active track receive channel = All. (you can also set this to a specific MIDI channel if you have more than 1 instrument and you don't want them to clash in this case set it to 1)· Soft through = Off· Sequence change by Program change = Off· Play internal pad sound = Off (this turns of the internal pad trigger so that the pads are only triggered by the incoming MIDI commands ) Open MPC MIDI ports in and out: (Mode > Pad9 > F2)· Sync in = 1· Sync out = A Now you have to tell the MPC to send the MIDI code from the pads back to the DAW through the Midi port A. This will trigger the midi in the DAW so you can print it and at the same time it will send it back to your MPC to trigger the sound. Main > Midi = A1 (you find this to the Lower right of the MPC screen you can use any channel you like here I used channel 1 hence A1 )Take all these files and store them in your MPC flash drive so in a folder called TemplatesWork Flow Record midi on to Pro tools :· Turn your pads off: Mode > Pad9 > F1 Play internal pad sound = Off· Options > MIDI through. Must be checked(Demonstration Video is posted on http://blogs.myspace.com/studizzy)Record midi on to the MPC :· Turn your pads on: Mode > Pad9 > F1 Play internal pad sound = On· Options > MIDI through. Must be UN checked (Demonstration Video is posted on http://blogs.myspace.com/studizzy)Save your work: To save the beat with the song . Record from the 4 outputs on the MPC on to the 4 Audio tracks in the DAW. Then save all the patterns and the samples into a directory on to your MPC. Now then when you have finished your track copy the directory with the program files and samples from the MPC into the same directory that you saved your Pro tools session on your PC. This way you have your beats in 2 formats1. Is the stems (Printed audio files) and2. 2 is the raw data (comprised of your MIDI TRACK and the samples you used on the MPC) For help with recording 4 simultaneous tracks check the Video bellow fromsparq1g:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHus5_ZewbU F.A.Q:• How do I deal with latency/ Delay issues in pro tools?: Under Options in Pro tools check the "Low latency monitoring" check box you can also set the off set in the midi clock Setup > MIDI > MIDI Beat Clock > Offset (its on the far left), which ever you prefer its up to you.• Pro tools popup says buffer is either Too small or too large?: Options > Buffer settings check RTAS ignore errors• My MPC does not have "pad to internal sound: on/off"This issue was found on some versions of JJOS 2K which results in the samples being played back twice when using the MPC as a MIDI controller.- To fix this set your MPC to " Active track receive channel = 1" (Mode > Pad9 > F1)then you set the DAW to send the return signal from the armed MIDI track specifically to MIDI Chanel 2 when recording MIDI from the MPC and then for play back you just flick the DAW MIDI return Channel to channel 1.• Why and how do I use the Tabula rasa scripThe script allows you to start a new song without having to turn off your MPC.

How do you route a midi track to autotune plug in in cubase?
Autotune is an audio effect (not MIDI) One solution would be to ... 1. export / render the MIDI track out as an audio track 2. import the rendered Audio track back into cubase... 3. Apply autotune (or Melodyne) to the Audio version of the track et voila
What is the difference between MIDI track and MIDI channel?
There's a few parts to this. A 'Track' in a program needs to be a certain type. In simplest forms; an 'Audio' track or 'MIDI' track. MIDI is nothing more than performance information. It contains no sound. Each MIDI 'port' in software/or 'plug' in hardware has a total of 16 discreet channels that performance information can travel down. It is then up to you to assign that MIDI track & channel to a virtual sound source or external MIDI device that can create sound. Example: MIDI Port 1 ch1 - Piano ch2 - Bass ch3 - Guitar ch10 - Drums A Simple synthesizer workstation will have a build-in 16 track sequencer, each track assigned a different MIDI channel, allowing you to trigger 16 different sounds. If you have a performance on channel 1, it will trigger channel 1's assigned sound. If you set 3 tracks to the same MIDI channel and they each have a different sound (such as piano, strings, synth pad) assigned... then that single MIDI track performance with trigger all 3 sounds simultaneously! So think of the MIDI 'Track' as a big pipe with 16 divisions, and a MIDI channel as one of those divisions within the pipe. A MIDI track must have a MIDI assignment to work. The standard options are channel 1 to 16 or "ALL".
Which should you buy Echo Audiofire 2 or Focusrite Saffire Pro to use for guitar and midi input?

Can you use a synthesizer as a midi controller?

Why do some people wear headsets when they play the drums?
Often drummers use a 'click track' to play along to, particularly if they are playing live drums against a sequenced MIDI track.
How do you record a drum track using the keys on your keyboard through a usb midi interface?
Use a sampling plugin, such as the exs24 on Logic pro. This will allow you assign different drum sounds and samples that you have collected to different keys. Then they can be played on you keyboard. *Your software should have a sampler, however there are also free samplers that can be downloader online You can also initiate a midi track in your software (assuming it is capable) and set it to a general midi soundset in your sound card (most are capable) on midi channel 10 which is the default GM drum channel.
