Hi!

I got a mpc 2500 with a midi keyboard connected to it (M-AUDIO Keystation 61es) for playing bass.

It has just stop working, i can play on my pads but the mpc won't work with mid in no more...

I have tried 3 different midi cables and 3 different keyboards but the mpc wont recognise anything.
I have tried to re-install the OS and pressing "erase" button on power up (reset) and i have going trough the midi setting on the mpc to but nothing works :cry:

I'm running JJ Os1.

Do i need to buy a new "PCB, Midi Assembly - MPC2500" ?

something tells me it's working fine, but you just can't find the keys that are assigned to the pads since they aren't organized chromatically....

Of Course i have set it to auto chromaticall and not the "16 levels way"

Everything has worked fine before with my keyboard and the mpc, but now it seems like they have broke up :cry:

have you tried hooking it up to your pc and seeing if you can see anything via midi-ox?

though it does sound like your poor thing got fried.
