I mean when i play a couple of keys on the keyboard, i can hear the sounds from the keyboard but i cant see anything happening with the MPC is there some kinda configuring i need to do with the keyboard and MPC? Yo the help on this will be madd appreciated..............1

First of all what kind of keyboard is it?

Are you trying to sample the keyboard? That is, are you trying to record the sound of the keyboard into the MPC?

Are you trying to play the sounds on the MPC from the keyboard?

Do you have a mixer or a mutltiple input soundcard?

We might be able to help you with a little more information.

i dont have a mixer yet, and i am trin to record the sound of the keyboard into the MPC, do i need a mixer to do this?

You don't need a mixer to sample the sound into the MPC, however if you are trying to sequence the keyboard with the MPC you need a mixer

ight koo, do u know how much the mixers normally run? not the real expensive 1's im ballin on a budget.

get a decent sized Yamaha or Mackie... Like a Yamaha MG12 or MG16... or Mackie 1402 VLZ. You gonna want room to expand in teh future as all studios do. So dont lock yourself in my getting a small mixer (like an 8 channel). You can get Yamaha MG16's for under $300. The mackies are a lil more. But you get good pre amps, and some of the best build quality in the industry for personel mixers. Stay away from Behringer. Ive had my share of Behringer products, Ive also owend Yamaha products and I now run a Mackie Board(which I will not switch out). My behringer died on me after about 4/5 months.
