Passing MIDI Without Triggering Onboard Samples

Here's my setup -

MIDI Keyboard Out -> MPC 2000 Midi In
MPC Midi Out -> External Synth Midi In

I want to play notes on the keyboard, have them recorded on the MPC, and played back out to the synth. This works fine. The problem comes when I have samples on the MPC pad banks. Then notes of the recorded sequence trigger both the samples and the synths. Is there a way to have some tracks where the sequence notes do not trigger samples but are still transmitted out?

Thanks.

Uh..maybe I'm missing something but nothing there helps me.

I don't need local mode. I want my MIDI keyboard to NOT trigger samples that are assigned to notes in the current program.

Here's an example: I have a drum kit assigned to 16 pads in bank A. When I play any notes in the lower octave of my MIDI keyboard, those drum hits trigger in addition the synth notes. I want ONLY the synth notes to trigger when I hit a key.

Can I even do this on the MPC 2000? I've read through the whole manual and nothing there seems to address this.

OK, just figured it out...needed to change Track setting from DRUM to MIDI. Now MIDI IN notes don't trigger any drums. Feel dumb. Thanks for the help anyway Lampdog.
