I'm having trouble hooking up my Motif XS6 to my MPC 2500 through MIDI. I have the manuals, but I'm still doing something wrong. Could someone tell me exactly what to do to each machine to get them to work together. I want to use the MPC as the master and the Motif as the slave. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Keyboard Settings:
MIDI OUT to MPC MIDI IN
Local Control OFF
Make sure its in Multi-Mode
Route Audio Outs(headphone out if stereo out isnt available) to your Mixer
MPC Settings:
MIDI OUT to Keyboard MIDI IN
Turn DRUM to MIDI 1A or 1B(most likely 1A)
Route Audio OUTS(stereo outs or headphone out) to your mixer
Cables Required: MIDI(2) and Audio Cables(depends on how many outs the gear has)
Example:
Say you have a bass on the keyboard and it is on Channel 2(track 2 for some keyboards with onboard sequencers)
Then the MPC should be set to MIDI:2A
So basically whatever the sound in the keyboard is the number should be the same on the MPC.
Channel 1 or Track 1=MIDI 1A
Channel 2 or Track 2=MIDI 2A
ect....
Real simple and easy.
