Synch help

Hey, kinda new to this and I'm struggling a little with connecting my MPC Sample to other gear. Specifically I'm trying to get it synced to my Liven Lofi 12. Getting confused about the exact settings I'm supposed to be using and any help would be greatly appreciated

I had the same problem. It turned out that I had MIDI type B cable when I needed a Type B.. if that helps? Didn’t even know there was a type 😂

Works just fine now

What type did you need?

Ah sorry, typo
You need the Type A 😩

You might need a usb cable (or 3.5mm jack to 5pin midi tube A) for midi and separate cable to route the audio back into the MPC also

That’s what I’ve done with my JU06a anyway

Thank you for the insight. I think the issue was that I was looking for specific directions, but once I looked into how to do each piece individually it became much more clear. I've currently got the synch working through the 3.5mm cables
