MPC Studio won't slave to Live

Post by Sivle » Wed Apr 02, 2014 5:57 pm

Just unboxed the mpc studio and loaded the ren software and after going through nearly every midi and sync option I cannot make it respond to Lives host transport functions. I am able to use the launch pad to trigger the samples loaded into a Ren project so there should be hope. Live is on one laptop with a Saffire 6 sending the midi out to the mpc studio hardware that's running on another laptop. I have Lives midi prefs set to track sync and remote all on using midi clock and the mpc is set to receive midi clock on mpc port 1. Still when I hit space at on the computer running Live the computer hooked to the mpc is not reacting. There is nothing in the mpc manual that I have found so far that describes how to sync it with an external sequencer and there is a surprising shortage of online info from the searching I did last night. Everything I can find describes how to run the mpc as a plugin but nothing about midi sync.
