MPC 2500 and motif es6 MIDI Setup

This video shows you how to sync the 2500 with a workstation, In this video I am using the motif es6. I was extremely tired when making the video,so forgive me, On one part I said turn the voice off, I meant to say "Turn your LocalCtrl - OFF. Also I ended up running out of time, But what I was saying at the end is that you have to turn all of your (Pgm:OFF) only on your MIDI Tracks, To avoid the little delay that you may have when you hit PLAY START. Hope this helps!

@hallal55 What's good Man! The MPC originally stood 4 MIDI PRODUCTION CENTER, Now the M stands 4 MUSIC. 4 me it is much easier 2 Sequence and do all of my MIDI stuff from the MPC, Besides that, I hate trying 2 bang out beats using keys, I prefer the pads of an MPC. And that is only the beginning of it. And Oh Yeah did I mention it's SAMPLING CAPABILITIES! If u can, see if 1 of your friends have 1 and see if they can show u some things. i can't be with out mine. Ps Talkbox over autotune anyday!

@don1mega when you take all of that into ProTools how do you get the audio from the keyboard?.....When I Sync a keyboard to my MPC & then into protools i only get sounds from my MPC, no audio from what i played on the keyboard..

[don1mega]

@escobarstatus Use your INPUT THRU on your MPC, run your keyboard in to your record in jacks on your mpc. I use a digital rca cable for superior sound quality. and then turn your input thru on, and you should be good. Hit me up if you have any other questions.

THIS VIDEO REALLY MAKES MY A.D.D. KICK IN

[cheddybumpkins]

good video! can you play the motif and have the MPC record the midi data so that you can then have the mpc play the motif based of that data? i know people usually create the midi data on the mpc to sequence the motif, although that can be time intensive.

The guy on camera needs to get better closer shots of what you are doing on the screen

do you know what the problem is with pitc shifting? When i put a sample one semitone up or down (+1.00 -1.00) than the sample sounds damaged. But when i put the sample one octave up or down (+12.00 -12.00) no problem.

Can you help me?

@don1mega I did that.... i got a whole sequence in my mpc, drums from the mpc & keys from a Fantom....Just when i take it to Protools only the drums show......Do i need to record a midi track & audio?
