Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Hey Everyone,

It seems that my memory is in few pieces and I don't remember how to configure my gear like:

"Use my keyboard to play with the MP7 and record each track in the MPC"

I've changed my midi configuration and I don't how to achieve that. 
So,my midi keyboard out is on the in of the mpc and the out of the mpc is on the in of the MP7. It's working quite fine, but I can't record all mp7's tracks in the mpc. When I change the track on the mpc and change the midi channel, it continue to play the melody from the mp7 track1 (even if it's muted) and when I change the track on the mp7 it change it on my mpc too...So, I can't only record one track from the mp7 in the mpc by song, otherwise I must use a software sequencer to achieve my goal, step by step.

I think I've missed something but don't find what, so please can someone help me.  

Thanks !

Hi,

Anyone can help me?
To achieve my goal I transmit my mpc's midi clock to the mp7 and record 1 track in the mp7. After, i unpleg the mpc and plug my mdidi keyboard. Then I start my mpc track and lauch the mp7 track and record mp7's tracks with the keyboard. At the end I re-plug my mpc to re-send midi clock and to adjust few notes and record all in protools.

I think someone has a better way to do this, so please let me know!
Thanks.

let me see if I've got this clear- you are using both the MPC & the keyboard to enter data into the MP7.
which MPC is it? does it have a merge function? 

ideally you want to leave the MPC hooked up to the MP7 to clock it while you add your keyboard parts. to do this, you need to merge them. if it's possible, plug the keyboard into the MPC & have it appear at the MPC's output along with the clock. otherwise, get an external midi-merge box.

>>i didnt understand any of this<<

there are only three boxes. what's to understand? :-) 

he's recording from his MPCx000 (an akai drum machine/sampler/workstation sequencer) into his MP7, & then laying some keyboard parts over the top. he wants a neater way to do this without moving midi cables & changing the master clock from MPC to MP7 & back again, before recording the whole shooting match into protools.
if the MPC can merge its own midi input onto its output, he's away & laughing. if not, he needs a merge box.

how do you use your command station?

Hi Duncan,

Thx for your answer! 
I'll use the MPC2kxl and my midi keyboard to enter data into the MPC, the mpc only for the Midi clock and the keyboard to enter data into the MP7. I think it has the merge fonction, but never use it till now. 
So I've already try to use the way your explained and it's working fine. I've understood my mistake, so thank you duncan! I'd wished to record my midi track into the MPC but no need, I must simply use the mp7 tracker to accomplish this task! 
I'm too stupid, lol! Thank you a lot for your help man ! 

For information, no need to use the merge function to accomplish this task, simply choose a midi track in the Mpc and assign the out for the mp7 and it's working.

Peace and long life to this Group!
