How do I SYNC PT with my MPC or another sequencer?

[Miike Lee]

Hey yall-
How do I get MIDI stuff to work when I press play in Protools... my MIDI stuff starts to play? I think it has to do with sending Midi Time Code or Midi Machine Control... I know how to set my MPC2000 sequencer up to recieve the info.. but how do I get protools to send it?
PEACE

In PT, under Midi, enable Midi beat clock on the correct bus or device (i.e. MPC). In MPC, enable midi beat clock on the same port as specified in PT.

that dosnt really help or work man... can you start with setting up the MPC in protools? it dosnt come direct as a setting-

What is you setup? The midi interface that the MPC is connected to should appear in the Midi Beat Clock menu in PT. You then have to select that same interface on the midi track output in PT.
