Midi Sample

I've been trying to sample sounds off of my keyboard onto my mpc through the midi outputs. I can hear my keyboard being played when i hit the drum pads on the mpc, but when i'm in the midi/sync mode i can't retrieve any sounds from the keyboard to sample onto the mpc. Anybody have any suggestions or know what I'm doing wrong?

the midi line only carries data to trigger your keyboard.........you have got to send the audio line out from your keyboard to the record in on the mpc

I have both the in and out midi jacks connected from both the mpc and the keyboard.

walk wit me son.......

dont look at the midi they have nothing to do with it
on your keyboard you sholud have something like L- R and headphone

thats where you need to sample from

On the back of the mpc you are looking for Record In........NOT MIDI


Holla

Page 7 of the manual shows you where the mpc's record in jacks are located and page 89 for sampling a new sound

alright alright, mos definately. I was under the impression that you could sample through the midi inputs as well. I know how to sample the through the record in jacks. I was confused about the MIDI Sample Dump and what exactly that can be used for.

good looking

I must not be setting the device ID # correct or the request #, because when i try to specify the sound in the request field and then hit request, nothing happens, and nothing happens if i send from my keyboard.

What kind of keyboard do you have maybe I can help you a little more

casio wk-1800

i was just sampling off it through the record in jacks, that seems to work fine. That will have to do for now. I'll take ideas if you have them.
