Hello everyone. this is my first post in the forum and as you can guess easily, i need help.

I love mpc 2000xl's legendary, rock-solid sequencer and big fat pads to whack with my hands. But they are limited in terms of pure sampling power. That's why i bought a e6400 ultra. & i did the following connections:

MPC midi (a) out > e6400 midi in
e6400 main out > to inputs 1/2 of my sound interface

I'm trying to sync it with my mpc (via midi), but i cannot. Before to start I updated E-mu's os to the latest & then checked the hard disk to see if the vendor left some sounds on the hard drive. i couldnt find anything then i formatted its harddisk in fat format and loaded some drum samples & created a bank.

Anyways... i'm a newbie to the samplers. i looked for a couple of forums but i couldn't find any instructions about how hook it up with mpc's. if somebody can help or give me some suggestions i'd be very happy.

thx

For MIDI sync, I think you need a MIDI connection both ways, so you also need to connect Emu MIDI out to Akai MIDI in (as well as the Akai MIDI out to Emu MIDI in which you already have).

A two way MIDI connection shouldn't be necessary. Did you make sure the E-MU is set to sync to external MIDI clock?

hey... thx for the tip! it helped me a lot.
now i've to figure out how to setup my pads sequentially...
