MPC 60 V1 3.10 as Midi Drum Controller with Cubase

I have Cubase 5 and would like to occassionally use my MPC 60 MK1 as a midi controller as well. This would save me buying another drum pad trigger. I have OS 3.10 installed. However, I am struggling to make this work.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Bump.... Surely there is someone with some knowledge of this and who uses MPC 60 pads for triggering their DAWs....NO?

adjust midi parameters on your mpc
set cubase to recieve on whatever channel you send on

Set local mode to off, also it is explained in the manual.

It's not cool to read manuals.

The Local mode field:
This is a choice field with two options: ON or OFF. If ON, playing the
pads causes the internal sounds to play as normal. If OFF, then playing
the front panel pads does not send notes internally to the sound
generator but does send notes to the MIDI output (if the active track is a
drums track and the Play/Record screen’s Chn field is set to a MIDI
channel). In the OFF mode, the internal sound generator receives notes
from MIDI but not from the pads.
Setting this field to OFF is useful if you want to use the MPC60’s
pads and sound generator with an external sequencer. This allows the
pads to send notes out over MIDI without playing the internal sounds
directly, and allows the external sequencer to play the sounds from the
MIDI inputs.
