Help connecting A microKorg to a 2Kxl via midi

Hi.
I'm attempting to connect my microkorg to my mpc 2kxl and am having some issues.
Not sure I my approach is correct either.
I'm not connected to any computer, just midi in on the Microkorg to the midi out on the mpc and vice versa. (I have headphones plugged into the MPC) no other speakers are connected anywhere.
I've set the channels both to one, The local function the the korg is off, the clock on the korg is set to external, and the position is set to post.
On the mpc all channels are being received, program change is set to off, sustain pedal is on, midi filter is off, and types is set to NOTES. Pass is set to yes.
The soft thru is set to omni a-b, and I've set the sync in to the corresponding midi input in 1 and the sync out is AB. Both mode and mmc are set to off.
I realize this my be something that figured out with tinkering, however I've been at this for about 2 hours and have made zero progress. I'm educating myself on midi however any tips would be greatly appreciated.

what is the problem?

if you have headphones plugged in to the mpc, you can hear the mpc. is yer korg plugged into anything to make sound?
ideally youd hook yer korg and mpc both into a mixer so you can hear them at the same time.

Guess I forgot that detail.
I'd like to record to the mpc threw the handshake midi connection.
I've set the first track as a midi track to the corresponding device that is the korg.
I receive a signal for both in and out, however, I'm getting no audio from the korg threw to the mpc.

midi is not audio.

midi is a controller, that's all.

you can record the notes to play on the korg, but you can't hear the korg through the mpc unless you are sampling it, and then you can't sequence it while you sample.

the important thing to remember - sound is only going to come out of the korg from the audio out.

Cool. Thanks
