You have to assign a sound to each track and then go into the mixer on the mpc to track one at a time.

mixer screen, press individual, at the top of the screen set each sound to a different number, 1-8.

You will probably have to combine some sounds on the same output.

STILL CANT DO IT, I CONNECT THE MPC STERO OUTS TO THE MIXER STREO AU RETURNS RIGHT, MAYBE MY SH*IT IS HOOKED UP WRONG, MAYBE THE 8 OUT IS MESSED UP OR MAYBE MY MIXER IS DONE TOO.

First you need one of these cables.

You connect all 8 connectors into the back of the MPC and then to channels 1-8 on the mixer. No need to use the stereo outs.

This is the 8-outs. You should see all 8 connectors on the back of the MPC.

MPC outboards outs to Mixers line in's - U only have 4mono channels tho...Uknow that right? To use MPC's stereo outs, route to stereo pair on mixer. Eg channel 5/6 on ur mixer (thats a stereo pair).

To use stereo channels on ur mixer as mono, hard pan a pair

4get about Auxs - Thats wrong for what ur trying to do
