You mean this video... Watchyoutube.com

He's just using the MPD to trigger cue points in SSL.

^yup

3 cue points
- 1 song intro (pad1)
- 2 before i begin (pad2)
- 3 2nd verse (pad3)

how do i set the cue points to read on the mpd?

MPD24 supports XP, no VISTA driver yet. dont know about mac.

download SSL 1.8 and assign midi in there.

for more info, read the manual
mpd24 www.akaipro.com
ssl 1.8 rane.com

Akai told me that the MPD24 supports Vista. I have an MPD16 and it doesn't support Vista. Maybe they were just trying to get me to buy a 24.

cant see any VISTA update on the MPD24 logis..

I picked up an MPD-24 today. Definitely made well.
I'm not sure if it's the unit or something I didn't set up correctly, but while playing around, I noticed that my loops were turning on and off randomly.
When I disconnected the MPD it all went back to normal.
I should probably read the manual.

I got my mpd24 working with vista. It was plug n play for me.

so i guess it would be safe to assume u could do the same with an mpc in midi mode

Yes, I would assume.

same can be done with an mpc, asr or any device with midi out. but an mpc only has midi. you would need a midi to usb adapter to use your mpc with ssl.

something like a motu mtp av usb. but you lose portability, so a triggerfinger or a mpd16/24 is best.

can you explain what the setup would be??

would it be mpc midi out ---to--> where??

my mpc has usb, why can't i use that??

A little something I did to my MPD24

dj d.range does the mpc has drivers for your os. or is the usb just for connecting peripherals (keyboards, ext hd, etc).

the mpc 500, 1000 and 2500 has usb ports but only support mass storage. when you plug it in, your pc sees it as a drive. it is not capable of sending/receiving midi data.

so to use your mpc you need a midi to computer device. you would connect the midi out cable of your mpc to this device. this device would connect to your pc (via usb, pci, firewire, etc) and transmit to your pc.

for instance i have an emu 1212m and a motu mtp av usb. the emu is a pci card with midi in/out. i can plug in any midi device and send/receive midi to/from my pc. same goes with the moto (cept it's usb).

I'm gonna try to hook my MPC2000 up to SSL with my USB MIDI interface.
Will let the board know if it works.

^thats dope to all the guys with MPC. keep us posted if it works

i've used an asr-x with ssl. works just like a trigger finger or a mpd 16/24.

thanx for the info nyce, any sugestion on a midi controller thhat would be goud forbuse with anmpc & ssl??

that video is amazing, first off journey is a crackin band, go steve perry, woo

an the whole remix that he does is awesome,

i was deciding on what midi controller to get an got myself a mpd24, i think its way better then the m-audio trigger finger,

the 360 deg rotational pots come in handy when you have lotsa music to sort threw an i just plain an simple like the look of it better

"HittinSkinzTa2" i didnt realise you couldnt assign both the loop start an stop to the one button, thanks mate, you just saved me 2 pads, cheers
