midi controller with mpc1000

im curious, can i plug a midi controller into my mpc1000 and use it to trigger samples, say for a bassline since i have better time on a keyboard doing that? Just a basic usb 49key midi controller which has a midi out. thanks for the help

-Yes u can connect an MIDI controller to your MPC1000
-Yes u can trigger samples with it.
-I Recommend u get a bass program so its layed out for you already.(plent of FREE ones on this site to)

please stop with the bullshit questions and read the maual

no, you can not play the mpc like a keyboard across a keyrange with the same sound. you have to make a complex program with each pad designated to specific note key, then save prog. then apply sample/sound to program and play. Just plugging in a midi kybrd to the MPC will only allow you to trigger one sound at a time-- only one key on yer keyboard will play sound per pad assigned, but not in entire range of notes. it will be just like triggering sound from mpc.
