Aiight, first merry Christmas and enjoy the MPC, you're like me it's my first MPC ever but I've been using mine for a couple of weeks now. I got mine hooked up to a Triton. You want one midi from MPC into the Motif, and one from the Motif into the MPC (two cables going opposite ways). Then you can send one from the 2nd MPC out to a PC etc if you want.

Now, I can't say that this is THE way to do it, but I've got mine working this way. Go to Mode - Midi and set your Active Receive Channel to 'All'. Then set your Soft Thru to 'Omni-AB'. Return to your main screen, set up a midi track (turn off the program, set type from 'drum' to 'midi'). Then go to the midi part (set to 'off' by default) and flick through the channels till you get one that works. For some reason none of my '1s' work, I have to use '2s'. Hope this helps get you on your way, I can't help with the Motif side of things but if it's anything like my Triton you won't have to touch that anyway.

Peace,
