Hi,

I'm just trying out an MPC 2500SE. 3 months old.

I'm trying to, (just for now) program drum sequences from Cubase, having a midi output from my DAW play the drums samples from the MPC

I have DEFINETLY got a midi signal from the DAW output.
The midi cable is checked,

I even have it connected to a midi keyboard, straight into the MPC's midi input 1.

Nada!!! Im in sequence mode, empty sequence with the program (which consists of 1 sample, a kick on C#1)

No matter what I do, I cant hear the sample unless I hit the MPC's pad.

How can I check muy MPC is set to recieve midi. I've been all over the Midi mode menu's but simpley cannot get any sense out of it.

REmember, i am trying to play interna samples, not route out to a sound module.

IS there no midi message receive light ont he MPC. At the moment I'm not even sure if the midi input is working.

Sorry to turn to you guys but Im starting to get worried.
