Thanks for all your advise everyone.
I need some advise with my midi setup.
Please see the image for my current setup
Midi setup
As you can see I currently use my mpc to sequence keyboard1 and the synth. I also have a controller for plug in instruments within pro tools.
I have a fireface uc interface which has 2 midi ins and 2 outs which Im not using so far.
I want to be able to control protools with the mpc so when I hit record on the mpc, protools also starts so that I can hear the drum loops etc i have on tracks in protools while Im sequencing external gear also just so that I can sync up my external gear instead of having to quantise after etc. I know I have to go mpc midi in to interface out but as you can see i don't have an in available on the mpc. Is there another configuration I can use or perhaps I need a midi patch bay to do this?
Im so confused by all this, Id really appreciate some advise on a different way to set it up so I can do what I need to do. cheers
