MPC1K + SP303 [external source] BPM sync?

[philphil]

Hi guys,

Spent all evening last night trying to figure this out, with the manual printed on the side at Chapter 7 related to MIDI implementation as well as SP-Forums on my phone screen. To no avail.

Is it possible to sync the SP303 FX to the MPC master tempo if I only use [external source]? All the info I found was about syncing patterns but I don't want to play patterns on the SP, just the FX with [external source] on.

To have delay synced to to my MPC patterns would sort out my beat transitions for EVER!

Thanks very much for your help

PS: what I did find out last thanks to this forum is that the [stereo] button brings stereo sound, which was a massive relief. I thought stereo would have been a default set-up. So thanks for that!

Thanks so much!

So you reckon that the master midi would slave the dummy pattern and the delay by association?

Not sure how to do a dummy pattern but will give it a go as well after work.

Thanks again

Still no luck here. Not being familiar with the machine doesn’t help either.
Any luck on your side @scopebeats?

Thanks
