can record but..................

Help HElp pls. I just bought a mpc 2500, a mixer, roland phantom xr sound module and a midi controller. But im findng it difficult when playing the sounds from my sound module from the midi controller i can save what i play on to the mpc but when i switch off the sound moudle NO SOUND can anybody help pls What am i doing wrong? Am i connecting to somthong i should not? my set up is the same as the set up in the akai mpc 2500 insturction booklet

If ou record midi to the mpc you have to keep the sound module on for it to play sounds. If you record the sound into the MPC as a sample you don't need it on.

thanks 4 the reply much apperciated.how do i sample my melodies in the mpc

Make sure that your modules and synths and instruments are all plugged into the mixer. Connect the mixer's outputs to the [record in] on your MPC. Press [MODE] plus pad #5, adjust your record gain, and record. You should be able to figure it out from there on your own. Peace!
