I'm sure that their is a mixer map on the internet somewhere, to let you control the MPC from Cubase.

I willing to pay up to 300 for and interface. Well my problem is that I have an mpc, a triton keyboard, a roland keyboard, a motiff rack, a mo phatt, and a vintage rack. My mpc only has 2 midi in and outs but I have more than two midi devices, and someone told me that I would need a midi interface to hook everything up to the mpc. I wnat to make my mpc the master, my computer is a computer I built with a 1.7 amd atholon processor with a asus a7m mobo, two eighty gig hard drives

If you just want your MPC to trigger your synth modules, then I believe you can use the MIDI THRU jacks on your synths and connect them that way


Otherwise, you'll need a small MIDI mixer
