I always find it amusing when somebody has thousands of dollars worth of equipment but mysteriously doesn't have any idea how to plug it in.

I hate to give "RTFM" as an answer when people ask for help, but you've got to at least put in a certain amount of effort on your part.

Start with the quick-start guides for each device provided by the manufacturer. IF you don't have the documentation for any piece of equipment, google for it and you'll more than likely come across a .pdf file that contains the manual. Roland is kind of a bunch of jerks when it comes to this, so you may have to pay for documentation from them.

Once you've read all the quick-start guides and at least made an attempt to hook stuff up, then come back to us with any more specific questions you may have.

Sorry but "how do I hook all of this stuff up?" is too broad of a question to expect us to answer.

Roland now has all their manuals for free download. Actually they have for about 6 or 7 years now. It just wasn't easy to find before.

ok maybe i did come off wrong. yes i have tried to connect it all as a matter of fact. all the machines are connected i just want to know if i have done them right. i can make music the mpc get its sounds from the triton. i really only have a problem with getting my logic application synced with the machines that i have. i know this has to be minute but thats the only true problem.

They need to be locked together via midi time code if your trying to get the mpc and Triton into sync with Logic.
