MIDI off broken

I cant turn off MIDI triggering of the internal sounds.
*I plugg in a synt sendining on channel 1 to the midi in on my MPC1000
*Load a program.
*turn midi off in that track
So at this stage I should not be able to play the MPC program and the synth separately
But the synth triggers the midi notes on the MPC.
It dose not help if I switch the tracks MIDI channel to 5 (channel 1 still trigering it). The only thing that gets rid of it is if i set the receive channel from all to anything other then 1. But that sucks as im trying to control 3 syncs from it.
Im using JJos2 but tried 1.4 with the same problem m persisting.
Is my MPC broken?


Cheers.

Set pgm on the active track to "off"

Btw some of the points in your description make no sense to me. If that´s not the solution you are looking for, please describe your setup again and what you want to do.
