Hope that helps, Chris Hi Gary,

I'm glad you like the site. Sorry for the delayed reply to your comment. I don't know the MPC3000 <em>that well</em> off the top of my head to be able to give you an answer here. I've posted the question in case any other MPC users care to share. Kind regards, Chris Hi T Bird,

I have been looking for this for awhile. I have a MPC 3000 and am trying to run it thru Pro Tools. The question that I have is: <strong>Should I be in Drum or MIDI on the MPC?</strong> When I am in <em>Drum</em>, as soon as I hit a pad crazy noises happen but I do get a signal when the track is armed. But when I am in <em>MIDI</em> mode I get no sound at all. What should I do? Thanks. First of all, great site man. I have been looking for this for awhile.

When I am in Drum, as soon as I hit a pad crazy noises happen but I do get a signal when the track is armed.
But when I am in MIDI mode I get no sound at all.

What should I do?

Thanks.

I have a question about working with Ableton Live and a Digi 002 console. Is there anything available to setup the 002 to perform as a mixer and interface directly with Ableton Live? i have been working on using live as a rewire slave to Pro Tools but I'm really missing the VST and AU plugs in Live as well as all the MIDI functions. MIDI is so flexible and fun to use with Live, yet the 002 works so easily with Pro Tools. I wish that I could have some of the capabilities of the 002 working directly with Ableton Live. So here are my two questions: Does anything exist that tells the 002 where the Live controls are via MIDI/CC messages, to come somewhere close to making Live work as well with the 002 as the 002 works with PT? and 2) Where is it on the web? Thanks in advance! Gary Hi Chris,

I had same trouble using USB you must have…. Must have USB drivers from manufacturer, say Roland, for that specific devise and you specific OS on your PC or Mac. After installing, check System Prefs to make sure your device show up at bottom. Don’t need to do anything there, just buffer and timing which should stay where they are usually. I saw no need to have MIDI Thru ON. But it is not there is nothing working over USB into PT9 for some reason. I do not need to go back to my device, as it is GR55 Roland which does not receive MIDI performance data, only sends it. I finally got all working today after a roller coaster ride for past week. Best, Seth Yes. I had same trouble using USB you must have…. Must have USB drivers from manufacturer, say Roland, for that specific devise and you specific OS on your PC or Mac.

They're not installed with Pro Tools 9 and are available freely as a separate download <a href="http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=379411" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Hi Joe,

I am having a problem in the AudioMidi Setup I seem to have lost the Digidesign 002 rack icon with which to connect the midi keyboard to. Scanning for MIDI interface doesn't work. Would appreciate any help. Kind Regards Joe Lahart Hi Chris,
