I got problem with my M-Audio Oxygen 49 midikeyboard. I use Akai MPC 60II and Akai S950 combo and it's hooked up with Emu Mo'Phatt module so I would like to play that with my keyboard and sequence to MPC. S950 works fine. So I've hooked midi setup:

S950 in -> MPC out
Mo'Phatt in -> MPC out
Midikeyboard out -> MPC in

I have used keyboard and Mo'Phatt with MPC 2000XL and that worked well. Now I can play Mo'Phatt only with MPC pads which sucks. Can someone please solve my problem? Thousand thanks for your time.

mmmm is your track set up as DRUM or MIDI first of all ? It should be MIDI.
Then make sure you select the right output A B C or D and make sure that you are sending it to the right midi channel on your Mo'Phatt...

Have you thoroughly been thru all the midi settings and checking all the paths were correct ?

Please tell us how far you have been in terms of trial and error as right now you are giving us nothing at all.

Midi is turned on and the channel is okay also because the MPC can trigger those sounds. So MPC and Mo'Phatt works together, but the midikeyboard don't. It doesn't play MPC samples neither Mo'Phatt.

"Midi is turned on and the channel is ok" ?????? what? where?

Dude you need to be a little precise or nobody will be able to help you, or want to help you !

From what i think i understand, your mpc is not receiving any information from you midi keyboard.

Therefore you need to check your mpc input setup, once again, make sure you are using the track as midi mode and not drum mode.

"Type" is Midi and "On" is yes. As I said it doesn't matter is the channel set for S950 or Mo'Phatt.. EVERYTHING is exactly like on photo. On 2000XL everything worked well. I don't really know how to set settings under "Midi" section. And yes, mpc is not receiving any information from midi keyboard -> that is the problem. Thanks for your time.

Have you tried RTFM ?

Press the "MIDI" button , press "2" and make sure the "active track recieve channel" is set to either all or the same channel your MIDI controller is sending.
You might want to switch on "soft thru" also.

Yes, I've checked the manual. Active track receive channel is set to "all" and soft thru is "on". Local mode is "on".

while in this setup ^^^ and the midi controller is powered by adapter and not usb, go to midi, press 2 and where it says active receive channel change it from all to 1 and then back again, sometimes i catch a glitch there. other wise the mo phatt isn't receiving the messages properly

Even if the Mo'Phatt isn't receiving messages, it should play MPC samples when "type" on main screen is set to drum right? And I can play Mo'Phatt with MPC pads.. keyboard is just out.
