MPC2500 and MPK49

Does anyone know how to hook up a midi controller to the mpc? I have some new sounds that I bought and I want to play them on the mpc how do I go about hooking up my midi controller so I can play keys

You need to explain where the sound is coming from? (hardware, module, software?)

MIDI OUT (keyboard) > MIDI IN (MPC)

MIDI OUT (MPC) > MIDI IN (software, Module, hardware etc...)

Correct me if i'm wrong.

My sounds Are coming from the mpc...so I just midi out the keyboard into the mpc, then how do I play the keys once I plug everything up? Do I need to set the drum track to midi or do I have to change the channel to 1A sorry but I'm new to this whole mpc thing

a MPC 2500,MPK49,ROLAND JUNO,FIRE BOX AS INTERFACE, AND SOFTWARE AS MASTER AND ABLE TO SLAVE THE JUNO W/MPC

im wondering the best wiring config and if anyone knows will i have a problem without an adapter for mpk49

I would like to use juno as sound module mpc as seqencer and mpk as midi board as well as use soft ware as master i have the link for akai web instruction for sync..... I think my problem was i dont have the new os im going to start there but i would appreciate someone being patient and keep me from useing my 5lbs hammer to cure my buyers remorse

Everything you have can be midi'd together in one chain...I don't know how to connect everything but you can all your devices chained off one another

Got everything hooked up if your still having problems let me know

I too have an mpk & i think the midi out (not usb but standard) is disabled without the ac adapter, doublecheck the manual

Im having trouble...I hooked up my MPK and when I press the keys not all the keys are working....my samples on the keys I guess are spread across the keyboard in different keys...I dont know how to play sounds on my MPC with my MPK...

sounds like maybe your octave or the preset that ur using... but the keys should directly correspond w/pads

When I switch octaves, it just shifts the keys to the left or the right, see when I plug my MPK into my friends MV8800 the MPK plays like a regular keyboard...also how do I load sounds to play on the MPC as if it were a Keyboard, I have Wav's and Im trying to basically load up Synth's and Keys to make beats, I cant even use my keyboard, this shit sucks

Program-> Note (I believe it's f6)
Place all the notes in chromatic order. They are not in chromatic order by default.

For the mpk u'll need an adapter.

I have the adapter for the power cable, now when you say Program->Note are you referring to the MPC?

Im going to try the Program -> Note on the MPC...thanks for that information
