hey guys first of i want to say i enjoy this forum its very informative..recently i was given some good production equipment consisting of a mpc2000xl, a motif rack sound module, and a roland ed pc -70 midi keyboard controller… now my question is ( and i hope im in the right forum) how do i connect all of these things so i can hear the sounds from the motif while playing the beats(drums) thru my mpc 2000xl...Ive tried the midi out of the controller to in of the mpc then out of my mpc to the in of the motif rack. however it seems as if my midi controller doesnt recognize the motif because the the lights dont flash on the front of the module (if that makes any sence) i know you guys can help..can somebody show me some sort of diagram how all of this equipment is linked together..one last thing, my midi controller only has a midi out..is this normal? sorry for the long post! any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance

Re: midi connection problems with motif rack and mpc
thanks for the reply...however I have been doing searches on this site as well as others...but im still having trouble with my midi controller recognizing my motif rack...i believe i have everything set up properly as far as the midi connections.

Re: midi connection problems with motif rack and mpc
I don’t think your controller SHOULD recognize the rack. The RACK doesn’t send anything TO anything (aside from Program Changes or something you do from the front panel and SysEx data if you’re doing bulk sends)

Re: midi connection problems with motif rack and mpc thanks TonyPhillips im going to double check all of these settings and make sure things are set up properly...i believe the problem could be my midi settings are set incorrectly in the MoRack...im going to try and go thru the whole process as accurate as i possibly can...if i figure out what im doing wrong ill be sure to post....thanks again |
