direct record I'm guessing is straight into the sequencer without quantization.

Maybe sync the kybd (slave) and mpc (master) together via midi.
kybd audio into the mpc, then do the direct record thing over again.

This is the way I do it since I record all my MIDI sequences on the MPC. Select a new track, enable the direct record feature, hit Record, then hit play. Go to Trim, find the newly recorded sample and trim the silent space at the beginning. Assign the sample to the pad and play it into your sequence.

Its pretty much the same process if you're using the keyboards sequencer to record the synth pattern. Just enable the direct record feature, hit record, then hit play on the keyboard.

Isn't that in your manual?
