What wires are hoked up where. You never detailed your connections.

What gear is doing the recording?

Where is playback happening?

You gotta detail ur setup and connections.

Audio out of MPC >> Audio in on 404

Now, you need to press "EXT SOURCE" - select an effect and make sure your "EXT SOURCE" pad is selected (by holding the "Remain" button, press "EXT SOURCE").

Play the chops on your MPC - you should hear them being processed by your 404.

Once you find what you like you need to go into sampling mode on the 404, select what pad to record to, play sound from MPC. Stop recording.

Press the pad you recorded to on the 404.
Listen - you should hear the sound you played from the MPC with the effect from the 404.

Do that how ever much you want and you're good to go.
