sampling midi into my mpc 2000

finally i have worked reason out and can hear it through my mbox .......
now the problem im having is sampling my midi into my mpc i have seen the video with the mpc 1000 and have followed that im wondering if if maybe its something to do with my cables at the moment i have midi out of my keyboard going into midi in 1 on my mpc and usb from keyboard to computer then my mpc is running through my mbox i can play both together but just CANT record midi sequence into my mpc can someone please help me thanks

You cant sample midi, because midi is just a point of reference for a soundcard or DAW. You can only sample an audio input. You have to understand the differences between midi and audio because what you are asking makes no sense.

If you want the MPC to "Sync" with reason and play "audio" samples while tracking with a midi sequencer such as reason, then you have to have a loook at the transport settings in reason and sync the MPC with it..

I sync the MPC with Cubase, using cubase as the Master and the MPC as the Slave. Then when I hit play in cubase the mpc plays along. If you want the MPC as the master you have to change these settings..

Read about the differences between audio and midi

Use the search function for syncing your MPC

read about midi time code and master clock settings

Find out about the transport setting in order to sync reason with the MPC.

When you have done that and had a play around with a few of the settings, rewrite this post and people will understand a bit more about what it is you are trying to say... and so will you!!

Good luck and enjoy the learning experience, you will soon realise that this is where the real fun starts

cant you import the midi sequences through the MPC 1000's usb or cf card.

it should be a file w/ .mid at the end.

midi cannot be sampled and it is not audio either...

sorry maybe the way i said it didnt make any sense......
i understand that midi is just information getting sent to my mpc not audio , but what im trying to say is for exaple i have a beat made on the mpc and i want to make a bass line with my keyboard using reason and record it into the sequence on my mpc.
the problem im having is syncing the 2 cause my keyboard is still plugged in via usb, so if i play my beat on my mpc i can hear it and still hear my keyboard when i play it but cant record the keyboard on my mpc.
i have followed the video on connecting the mpc 1000 with reason and followed all the steps and its all good and made all the selections it says but its still not working 4 me...
it just doesnt record the midi in.

i think its something to do with the way i have things plugged in.
i only have 1 midi out cable from my keyboard that all it has and have that going into midi in on my mpc. i have a usb to midi interface that has a usb 1 end and a midi in and midi out on the other and i have the usb plugged into my mac and the midi in going into the midi out A on my mpc i just got the usb to midi interface and i think im not hooking that side of things up right.
also in advanced midi control setings in reason am i supposed to select my umx49 which is my keyboard for bus a ,or should i select um1 which is my usb interface and for where it says midi clock sync do i select the keyboard or the interface.
sorry im really confused
thanks

You have to have the mpc set to master, then you go midi out from the keyboard to in on the mpc and midi out the mpc to the midi in on your interface, that way everything will be tied together and you will be able to record everything in reason with the keyboard and control it with the mpc. if you dont have an interface, u gotta get one. then set up all your midi parameters on the mpc and reason and ur set.
