Hi Forum, I have beeen reading a lot of posts here and I can tell that you guys are serious about sharing information/insights. I have been waiting to get my hands on the MPC before posting any questions or concerns. Since I got it 2 days ago, I have been mastering the layout for a better understanding of the beast and I can tell you that I am very pleased. However, I do have a question for some of you that are using Logic with the MPC. I want the mpc to be the Master and Logic to be the slave. My Setup consists of an MPC 1k, Logic Pro, M-Audio OZONIC. The Ozonic has one midi I/O and is an audio interface. In Logic's setup, I have created a midi interface with connected port IN KEYBOARD EXTERNAL and Connected port OUT KEYBOARD EXTERNAL and called it MPC. I have connected all the cables properly to set up the MPC the be the master and it has worked properly. In Logic's Environment, I have created a physical input of which I have attached the External part of the Ozonic to a Channel Splitter and connected Channel 1 to 16 to 16 different Instruments within Logic. Since I want to use Logic as a sound module, I am able to record the Drum Patterns from the MPC to Logic but I cannot record an actual audio track from my insturments. The Midi Events have been recorded in the MPC but I failed to understand the reason behing not being able to record the sounds. I am already loving the workflow between the two sequencers and if I can make this work that would be a killer/perfect setup for someone to produce with ;as Logic would never crash or stop to state it has overloaded. I am pretty sure some of our power users might find and underline something that I am missing. I have spent more than 6 hours trying to figure out. I have attached teh instruments to an audio track, bus, aux, anything I can think of but it does not work. Desperate Times call for Drastic Measures (hence The Forum Experts 8) .) If there's a lack of info, please feel free to post a reply. Thank you in advance, Harmonik P.S I am still under the Factory V2 (BLACK MPC) if that matters

HI LUG I got it to work. I purchased all the tutorials from macprovideo and watched the environment one first and I now understand how the environment works. The rest was easy. My biggest mistake was that I checked sysex in logic's midi settings and I did not even realize it. Everuthing else works. If someone needs that environment for the MPC feel free to message me. Thanks Again

Hey Philip, Is there any chance you'd send me that enviroment which enables logic and an mpc to interact please? I'm having a bit of trouble here, Cheers
