Hello there,

Pretty new in MPC world and just bought the Sample and the MPK 4 mini. I would like to be able to play via the MPK 4 mini into the Sample, I already have the software installed, In music center and program with all the synths and stuff. It works but how do I get the input on the Sample?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome.

You want audio from where to where?
You want midi from where to where?

Hi Lampdog!

Thanks for replying.

I want to be able to play on my MPK mini and record into the Sample. I have the Studio Instrument Collection software installed on my laptop and the audio from the laptop to my monitors. So how do i get the laptop audio into the Sample. I just wanna input some chords and melodies to record and sample it.

I have tried a midi cable to jack but that doesnt work.

I got it to work! Solution was actually pretty straightforward and simple. I connected both the Sample and MPK with the laptop via USBC and changed the sound output on the laptop.

I did had to buy an USB to USBC adapter because I only had USBC on the laptop. I totally overcomplicated it in my head.
