[ProducerSolo]

yea my motif has a local control function and that works just fine.. the mpc doesnt seem to have that.. o and the xpand synth was a testing method i used and it worked fine... i will try that midi thru feature.. and see what i get.. im new to pro tools and therefore i must really look into the midi functions it has.. cubase was almost like plug and play..thanks for your help and if any one else has any input id appreciate that also..
