What do you mean it doesn't work? What do you want to do?

i wanna use the keyboard to play melodies wit piano samples , violin samples, string samples for example
i want to load the sample in the mpc and send it to my keyboard (to play with the sample like the 16 levels function on the mpc , but on a keyboard)

MIDI out on keyboard to MIDI in on MPC. Press REC on MPC and play on the keyboard. If you have sounds loaded on the MPC, the keyboard will play them. Once you have it hooked up, and have sounds loaded on the MPC, then it should work. Try every key on the keyboard, cause you may not have them all filled with the MPC's program (if you have more than 64 keys, some won't be used, 'cause the MPC only has 64 pad assignments)

When i load a pgm file of strictly drums, it works cuz i can play them on the keyboard but when i tried to put the 16 levels function on the mpc for a hihat for a tuning mode, it didnt affect the keyboard, it was still the drums
so i cant load a piano sample and put it in the 16levels to play a piano all over the keyboard
