yeah because NO SOUND GOES THROUGH MIDI CABLES...

you gotta have the keyboard/computer with reason/sound module/drum machine plugged into your mixer on top of the mpc plugged into your mixer.


midi data only tells what note to play and when....

are you talking about using an external synth?
if so, plug the audio out of the synth into the record in on the mpc. turn 'input thru' on. turn monitor on if you're recording the synth audio into the mpc.
this works for the 1000 with jjos.
