Well, knowing how the mpc is structured, you need to take each individual drum component ie: bass drum, snare, etc. and sample each and assign them to their own pad.

In order to do this, you need to sample each sound from the casio "individually" into the mpc. Once you've got all of your drum sounds sampled, you then proceed to playing these sampled drum sounds into a sequence on the mpc.

You could then midi the casio & mpc together unless you know how to record your performance into a daw and have the daw sync the mpc for drums.

But it's not as easy as I'm discribing, because you need to know a lot more than what I'm trying to tell you here.

A free daw program such as reaper would work for you in a case like this.

Yo look, when I make a statement or call out something, use your "search" feature/function since it will do a much faster and better job of discribing it instead of me trying to tell you.

I'm more prone to leaving out important information.

NO
