Well i have a midi/usb cable going from the mpc to the pc.
And then i have a the regular usb cable from the m-audio to the pc also the keystation has a midi out . so i got a midi cable goin out from the keystation into the in of the mpc. also i tried everything sparq said on the video and i can here and sound modulating from reason. Idk if i said the right but yea .

keyboard goes midi out to mpc in and thru the mpc out which goes to your pc's midi interface - forget about the USB unless you are using it as the power source for your keyboard

so i need an interface is their anyone in particular you suggest couse i have a miini mbox yet it has no midi ports . its just to record audio. n- e way i sorted of figured i was missing something. so whichinterface can make reason a sound module would be. and would it be cheaper to just get cubase.

the usb/midi cables work fine but regular midi are more responsive. I am in a similar situation trying to figure out how to get everything from my esq that i have sequenced in reason to record into Sonar. As far as sequencing reason with your mpc take a look at the advanced midi section in the reason manual. its really simple to setup but that page will walk you right through it
