MPC 2500 and MPK 49

hey guys
i recently got a mpk 49 for cheap tried to hook it up with the mpc 2500 via midi
but i cant seem to get it working...
the current hook up is

mpk 49 via usb to cubase 5
mpk 49 midi out to mpc 2500 midi in
mpc 2500 midi out to cubase 5

maybee there is not enough bus power to send midi signals from the mpk?

basicly what iam tryin to do is play my cubase vsts with the mpk into the mpc...

any help is greatly appreciated

just read the **** manual!!

i don´t know the mpk, but i know the mpd26...let me tell ya something:

if the mpd is hooked up to a computer via usb, it acts as a midi interface. it won´t output the same data on the midi port as it does on the usb port.
you have to set your routing inside cubase.

dude thats bullshit read again ^^

if you want to send MIDI signal from the MPK's MIDI ports, you need to have the MPK being powered by the AC adapter and not just the USB cable...

true, but afaik you can not use the ac adaptor and the usb-connection simultaneously. if you power the mpk via the ac adaptor, you have to use the midi out ports. the usb-connection is not available then!

and dude, your post is shit, read again (the motherfacking manual)

You could always just render the midi data recorded in Cubase as audio and import it into your MPC and sequence it there. It beats being up all might yelling DAMN YOU MIDIIIII!!! at the top of your lungs...
