Try my little explanation below.
Connecting a Keyboard to the MPC:
Keyboard Settings:
MIDI OUT to MPC MIDI IN
Local Control OFF
Make sure its in Multi-Mode
Route Audio Outs(headphone out if stereo out isnt available) to your Mixer
MPC Settings:
MIDI OUT to Keyboard MIDI IN
Turn DRUM to MIDI 1A or 1B(most likely 1A)
Route Audio OUTS(stereo outs or headphone out) to your mixer
Cables Required:MIDI(2) and Audio Cables(depends on how many outs the gear has)
Example:
Say you have a bass on the keyboard and it is on Channel 2(track 2 for some keyboards with onboard sequencers)
Then the MPC should be set to MIDI:2A
So basically whatever the sound in the keyboard is the number should be the same on the MPC.
Channel 1 or Track 1=MIDI 1A
Channel 2 or Track 2=MIDI 2A
ect....
Real simple and easy.
