Midi Sync the fantom S to the MPC

2 Jul 2005, 22:56

for the life of me I can not midi the FANTOM "S"
to slave to my Akai MPC "2000"

I want to trigger the sounds via the fantom
but use the MPC sequencer.

I got it to kind of work
but....

I can't figure out how to get the fantom to play single sounds for each track.

for example I sequenced a snare from the standard kit#1 [on the fantom] [it was on performance 10]
to track 10 on the mpc,I got it to loop and everything.

but then when I put a 808/909 kit on performance 11 and played a key,it triggered both perfromance 10 & 11 [standard kit and 808/909 kit]

but this isn't even when i pushed play on the mpc just when i played a key.

WTF?

isn't there a simple way i can set each instrument to play on it's own track on the mpc?

thnx

you have to set the device number in the mpc im gonna explain it to you the best i can. (1) under track 1 it says drums turn the data wheel untill its says midi (2)right next to it it should say either new pgm or pgm you get the point turn it till it says 1a device that mean track 1 in the fantom sound should be in the pad (3)press open window on 1adevice and turn the soft thru to off(4) now repeat steps 1-2 on track 2,3,4, but rember when you go to track two in the fantom and track 2 in the akai you must set step 2 to now 2a device. get it every time you change a track in the fantom you must change the device number inthe akai to ethier track 1 on the fantom 1a device on the akai track 3 on the fantom 3a device on the akaialong with the track change inthe akai as well. in when you save on the akai just save the all sequencer file to you disk it saves alot more head akes and the same on the fantom. if cant under satand my direction then start from page 51 in the akai manual read carefully be easy 1!!!!

Sounds like the midi channels on tracks 10 and 11 are set the same. You need to set up a performance with all the parts set to different channels.
