Can you hookup a Keyboard to your Mpc2000xl?

I been trying to midi out my keyboard into midi in on the mpc2000xl- to play sounds from my keyboard on my mpc2000xl. However, all that happens is the sounds i have on my mpc2000xl play on the keyboard. I don't want to sample the sounds from my keyboard, i want to play them on the mpc2000xl pads live and record them on the mpc. Can this be done, i search a while here and found nothing on this.

midi out (keyboard) to midi in (mpc)
midi out (mpc) to midi in (keyboard)

smoove, after you do that how do you set up the mpc?? you gotta do some ish right? ive tried setting up my keyboard with no luck. I got i to work 2 times at the studio, hookin up with dudes keyboard, but I cant do it at home. I couldnt even tell you how i tried to do it though........

you just need to plug keyboards midiout- to mpc midi in. Then go to middle C and put a sound on BANK C PAD 1. Should work.

If all else fails, I would suggest contacting your keyboard's brand company. I tried everything suggested to me and still was having problems. Because every keyboard has different nuances, you might be missing a key step in getting this to work....I bet it's frustrating! I was trying to figure my keyboard set up and it was taking me 1 week of trying different stuff. I finally gave up and called Roland's keyboard dept.(I use a Roland keyboard) and I just told them I trying to use my keyboard sounds to record MIDI into an external sequencer. They told me how to make sure the keyboard was set up right. It worked and I haven't had a problem since.

I hope you get it working for you!
