what are you tryin to do? again, you need to post a detailed description of what it is you're trying to acheive. i'm still not entirely clear on what it is you're trying to do.

i dunno, no one is going to help if they can't understand what the problem and/or desired results you're trying to acheive are.

and the solution is real simple, midi yo' sh#t up! i'm running my Alesis Micron, Sh-32, and all my soft-synths through (or thru as you put it) my MPC4k right now! ....and yes, i hear their sounds, play them and sequence them all to the MPC.

midi is your solution. people have done what you're trying to do for ages. so yes, your MPC4k can do it.

read your manual and reference guide. it covers how to do this.

peace

listen man, i'm not sure who you're refering to as being 'azzholez' but i have tried answer and steer you that right way. i've responded to your post and even noted that if you couldn't figure it out, i could try to be of further assistance. no one is being an azzhole to you and not me especially.

if you want help, you're gonna have to elaborate a bit more than just saying "It'z real simple..I want 2 play tha bass patchez, piano keyz etc from tha ASR-X thru tha MPC"....you're right that is simple and it is simply done. if you can't figure it out from the diagrams in the manual and the instructions, ...and you're then going to come here seeking advice....shh..come on...we gotta know what you're doing or not doing to be able to help. you've not offered one insight to what the dilemma is and/or what you've tried and not tried. you could've started your inquiry with: "ok, i've got my Asr-x's midi I/O properly connected to the MPC's I/O (midi A)....but past that point i don't know what to do". then we here 'azzholez' could probably figure out what you need to do or what steps you're not understand or missing.

listen, you don't want help. you don't know how to ask for either....go ahead and get mad. i don't really give a f#ck. i was tryin' to help you out and you went from 'new and nieve' to the MPC and midi to just being an idiot.

i think in your original first post when you said "becuz I am on tha verge of selling my MPC and just sticking with my ASR-X" you were probably better off. the MPC isn't that hard to learn...there's a reason why a whole industry use's it or atleast acknowledges it superiority and the seq./sampling/beatbox catagory. if you can't play with the big boys or humble yourself enough to learn and be taught, then move on.
