NEED HELP WITH MIDI INTERFACE (mcp2000xl + other instruments

hey guys.
i'm about to build up a network of several instruments. those are a YAMAHA CLP-120 clavinova, a YAMAHA PSR-290 keyboard and the MPC2000XL. i bought 2 midi-cabels and connected both the clavinova and the keyboard with their midi-outs to the midi-ins of the sampler. like it is explained in the manuals of each instrument, i adjusted everything properly (i think) and there's now a signal on the monitor of the sampler but i can't here a sound or record one.
does any of you know, what might be wrong, cause i just can't figure out why it's not working.

thanx for the help!!!

SORRY FOR DOUBLE POSTING

MIDI isent audio, do u have ur audio routed properly

clas

i once connected the "aux out" of my clavinova with the "record in" of the mpc and could sample my piano, but only in the sample mode. i still can't record a sequence with it, although there's a signal.
maybe i have to connect them in another way!? i'm not quite sure if the audio is connected right, because i thoguht midi would also transmit a sound, not just data.

WEll there is your problem .....
Rule #1 MIDI does NOT carry audio, it only carries a data signal, u have to route MIDI and audio sepratly. You gotta research man.....
i suggest you read about what MIDI does & its purpose
