MTC sync to tell logic a bpm

Hello, I want Logic Pro X to be the slave to MPC software via MTC. I've succeeded in getting them to start and stop at the same time but I need some help getting the bpm to change on logic when I/automation changes it within MPC.

It seems you are confusing MTC (Midi-Time-Code) with Midi-Clock. MTC is a time-based sync format (Midi-Time-Code/SMPTE). There is no BpM information available. Midi-Clock on the other hand transmits BpM and other midi information like start/stop. I doubt you can use Logic as a slave synced by Midi-Clock. But you can use Logic as a Master to sync different hardware and software machines with Midi-Clock.
