Maybe look at disable "Local Control" on the synths as far as their MIDI settings. I'm sure others can offer more details if that is in fact the issue. But it's probably a starting point to trouble shoot.

The expert title they put on your avatar here can be got just posting jokes in Off Topic enough times, so it may not be an accurate description of me. :lol:

But even if it's not that it would be one thing to scratch of the list as you try top sort it out.

yeah tried the local on/off thing already. with it off you can't make a sound from the synth. and no MIDI is rec'd on the MPC. but thnx
