Learning tha MPC X Basics

Normal and above users also know Mac is a computer just like anything else.
The Mac OS is more stable and less intertwined with programs than Windows based OS's.
There is something else, something. OP is not telling the whole story imo or honestly just doesn't know (this happens ALOT unfortunately).

Not defending Mac/PC even though idc for Mac. I'm defending common sense which isn't so common.
I have built all my own PC's, have the knowledge to repair software and hardware, never had major problems, usually only problems I started because of curiosity

Dude l have Win 10 on a Dell laptop and both my installments went through smoothly.

You're buying stuff you don't know anything about. Getting a Mac won't silve the issue.

Theres a video on UTube giving instructions.

Last night I pulled out my practically new Lenovo i7 Flex laptop to download the new 2.0.5 update and the damn laptop would boot then power off , I'd boot it and it would power off over and over even trying to boot off USB and recover it just shuts down its hardly used and I don't know if it's hardware or some Windows 10 patch .. shoulda just got a MAC but I've always used Windows just accustomed to it.

So anyways my hope of updating my MPC went down the drain last night just happy I didn't install the software then lose one of my licenses.

I still haven't figured out how to load a drum sound on 1 pad and another sound on another pad rather than having to load a whole kit ..
do you need to load a whole kit per track?

Thanks for all your infos my bruthas

So again, sorry.

Try not to get frustrated. There are probably many other things you can do to keep your musical streak going.

Can the MPC X record sounds from an external midi keyboard?

I watched some videos and connected everything correctly from what I can see,
Midi out keyboard to midi in MPC
Midi in keyboard to midi out MPC
Both on channel 1

I can use the keyboard to play Internal MPC sounds and record them that works fine,
but can I play and record the keyboard sounds into the MPC?

Can someone please help
Thx
