Midi Time Code is a signal that continually tells the slave device what time and location the master device is currently at.It can be used to keep two MIDI devices synchronised, and can also allow the ‘master’ device to start and stop the ‘slave’ device. MIDI Clock is a signal that represents the current tempo of the music, but contains no time or location information.There are two MIDI syncing protocols used by Logic – MIDI Clock and Midi Time Code (MTC). These MIDI protocols continually send MIDI instructions from one machine to the other, ensuring that both machines retain a tight sync with each other.

We do this using the MIDI protocols we mentioned in chapter 1 – MIDI Beat Clock and MIDI Time Code (MTC). In order to perform many of these tasks, we must ‘synchronize’ the MPC with Logic.

Once completely transferred into the Logic environment, we can then apply further processing, effects, edits and other essential mixing techniques to create a polished, professional master. You could record your scratching onto a Logic audio track and as you continue to work on your beat within your MPC, you can have Logic automatically play this scratching back in perfect synchronisation each and every time you hit ‘PLAY’ in your MPC.Īnd when it becomes time to create a polished stereo master of your beat, Logic is ready to show you its true power, as you can transfer everything from your MPC into Logic, either as MIDI information or as pure audio. So for example, you’ve written a cool beat in your MPC, but it needs some scratching. These Logic sequences and audio tracks can also be ‘triggered’ by your MPC when required. Remember, Logic is a complete digital audio workstation (DAW), so is also able to record complex MIDI sequences and even complete audio performances. Taking this idea a little further, you could also use your MPC to ‘trigger’ other sonic resources from Logic. The idea here was that your entire beat is written and played back within an MPC. More than a Sound ModuleĪs we saw in chapter 2, Logic can be a valuable sonic resource for beats and songs written within an MPC, working as a ‘sound module’ that can provide quality sounds triggered by MPC MIDI events.

In this adapted excerpt from chapter 3 of my MPC Logic tutorial book, ‘ Using Logic Pro With The Akai MPC‘, I’ll take an initial look at MIDI Clock sync with Logic as the ‘master’. This full book covers everything you need to know about using any hardware Akai MPC successfully with Logic Pro (and Logic Express), from initial hardware and software set up, to using Logic as a sound module for your MPC, syncing your MPC with Logic using MIDI Clock and MIDI Time Code, and tracking both MIDI and Audio data into Logic ready for a professional mixdown.
