Hi, I figured that this is an asked question very frequently but I've looked here and could not find a forum that pertained to the specific issues. I have an Akai MPC 4000, An M-Audio M-Track plus interface and a KRK Rokit 6 monitor. At the moment everything is hooked up, but that is where I lack as this is an analog machine. I have been using NI Maschine for a couple of years and due to the ability of using the interface via USB I've had no problems hooking it up and hearing playback on the monitor. I've tried uploading a sample already in the harddrive (as I cannot use the CD drive at the moment because since it was used that is the defective part that I need to replace, it will not open) but I am not sure if I connected it right. I have a MIDI cable going out on the A port of the MPC, going into the MIDI IN on my interface, then the interface is connected to the monitor via XLR/Stereo Jack. Is there something wrong with the connection? It may also be that I'm loading the sample wrong or not doing the process correctly. I've tried looking up youtube videos and to be honest majority of them are not instructive whatsoever as to the VERY basics of working the MPC. Granted I do have the manual and am looking at it, but it still is in very basic form and doesn't have suggestions due to the specific issue. Sorry to sound like a noob, but I'm not going to give up on it, I'm just looking for any push in the right direction or someone who has more knowledge and is willing to pass that on. Thanks for the time and hopefully someone is able to assist me with said issue. Thanks again!
