Thanks Bolo I just hooked up my Mpc x and Fantom. I never knew they could work together in this way. Knowledge is power. I subbed to your page keep up the good work.

[@quixsand]

Of course your video is the only one that makes sense. Thank you BDP. Unfortunately the new update only supports 44.1khz sample rate. I own a Korg Kronos and an Allen & Heath QU-32 mixer. Both units only transmit at 48khz. I hope Akai will upgrade soon to support the higher rate.

Yo guys! I currently have a MPC One with a Model 16. I just ordered the Fantom 06 tonight.

Make sure in each track the record button on MPC is on. And make sure audio monitor input is set to Auto

If I play a piano for 8 bars on playback it only plays about 2. And I cant figure out how to have it coontrol the mpc sounds without playing the kronos sounds ........fml

[@BoloDaProducer]

You have to turn off “Local control” on Kronos so it won’t play sounds until is assigned.

[@gamerjerome]

For some reason I couldn't get this to work. Although I don't know what your midi settings are on the FA-06. I have the FA-07. I set everything the same but didn't hear anything in the midi track. I'm running my FA out to a mixer then back to the MPC. If I turn "off" Local Switch on the FA and go into Sample on the MPC and turn on the input, I can hear my keyboard. So the sound is getting back to my mpc. I even tried going directly from my FA to MPC , still no luck. What are your FA midi settings?

Did you ever find a fix? I have FA07 and Live 2, same problem...everything hooked up right via USB cable but no audio coming out when I play FA07 keys.

[@alfonsowood4479]

Thank you for the info 👍

[@EricBishard]

The reason the number is different, 0 on MPC and 1 on the keyboard, is because of... COMPUTER MEMORY! the MPC is using array indexing with zero as its base. As you said always one number below the program on the keyboard. I programming, we run up against this issue all the time. I also think it may be possible you find a keyboard that uses the same and they will match.

[@michaelk8642]

The only programming I do (occasionally) is in Excel VBA and when dealing with arrays or indices, I have to remember that counting starts at 0 and not 1. Yes, there is a statement that I can use to make counting start at 1, but that's pretty much bad practice in general. Back on topic, I agree with your assumption that's the reason one number lower is chosen.
