MPC4000+Akai s950+Ensoniq EPS Keyboard: Hookup Help

What I'm trying to do is do all of my drum programming with my MPC4000. Then, sample everything with my s950 and trigger my samples with my EPS keyboard. After I have sliced my samples up on my keyboard and I've created the melody that's just right, I would like to record and sequence everything into the MPC4000. Now, If someone could just please explain to me what midi connections I should make to each piece of equipment to achieve my goal, I would greatly appreciate it....

Good Lookin!

i dont know why u want to add the s950 to the 4k(unneccasary) well here we go :eps m/o to 4k m/i
s950 m/o to 4k m/i
4k m/o to 950 m/i
if your useing the eps as a instrument then also connect the 4k m/o to eps m/i

Originally, I had my MPC60 hooked up to my s950 and I was using that combo for awhile. Since I've had the 4000 for a short time, I'm still trying to explore as much as possible with the machine. I hate to not hear that grimeyness either the s950 or 60 has. This is why I figured for the time being I still can keep one of them in the loop until I feel comfortable with the 4000 to the point were I know all my functions like the back of my hand. I love my MPC60. I'll never get rid of that thing. Good lookin out for breakin it down for me. Why wouldn't you include the s950 in my current setup?

since the 4k has the capabilities of the z series sampler it does every thing the 950 does and maybe more, but i understand you wanting that grimey sound of 12bit( the 950 also processes in 16bit) i think u can set the 4k for 16bit. i also have a s3000 in my setup but its slowly becoming non used and ready for sale.... which i think will happen to you... but if possible can i hear a track with that mixture of soung texture to see if theres a real shocking diff in outcome 1
