OK, I JUST BOUGHT MY MPC 1000/BLUE. I'VE NEVER USED AN MPC FIRST OFF, I'VE USED OTHER DRUM MACHINES THOUGH. I WANT TO MAX OUT MY 1000, THE 128MB,60GB 0R 80GB HARD DRIVE, jjOS 4.94, I WANT ALL THE GOODIES. I'M ALSO GETTIN THE MPK49 IN 2 WEEKS, HOW DO I HOOK THAT UP TO MY MPC???? I HAVE A ALESIS MIXER DIRECT TO MY LAPTOP WITH M-AUDIO MONITORS, WILL THAT WORK??? IF SO WHAT CORDS AM I GOING TO NEED TO LACE MY MPC AND MY MPK TO THAT? YES, I'MA NEWBIE FOR SURE, AT LEAST AT THIS. LMFAO! WILL THERE BE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED OR ANYBODY CAN SUGGEST???

My friend, try communicating without TYPING EVERYTHING IN SUCH A LOUD MANNER. I GUARANTEE YOU'LL GET MORE RESPONSES THAT WAY.

first off let me tell you i have the same set up,mpc 1000 and mpk49, and i struggled for a week trying to get the mpk to control the key sounds in reason while i was sequencing on the mpc, let my just say this, IF YOU WANT THE MIDI TO WORK WITH YOUR MPC YOU HAVE TO BUY THE DAMN POWER ADAPTER FOR THE MPK, because if you power it thru usb the midi out/thru port will not transmitt any data to the mpc, it took me a week and like 10 damn calls to akai before one of those assholes said "oh yeah if you power the mpk thru usb the midi doesnt work"
