Keyboard/2500

Is there a way to hook a midid controller straight up to the MPC and play say a bass sample with the keyboard? Say I load a bass sample into the MPC, can I play the sampl in with my keyboard instead of using the pads to trigger it in?

Yes you can do that.

yes but the pads will not be in the same order as the keys. I still can't figure out why they didn't map them. future OS I hope.

Do you know about the blank melodic program floating about that maps the MPC pads correctly?

so i'd just go keyboard midi out>mpc midi in right?

more info please.

i did remap all the pads, but found that some how it was bypassed and they still worked in the same random order.

do a search in the forums for blank melodic program

you'll find a program you can load up that maps the keys properly


it's really cool.... now if I could only get my damn keyboard to work with the MPC =(

what keyboard you got? what sounds you triggering?

The blank melodic program is just the chromatic midi program from the rhodes "multisample" that came on your factory cf card. All it does is tune the pads by semitones in the program screen from -24 to +24.
You can do this yourself.

You can just use the autochromatic program to lay out the tunings automatically.

But why waste time when there is already a program floating about...

Why search the forums for some program, if there is already one right on your card?

Becasue i blanked it a long time ago and have an autoload folder with my input thru settings and blank program already loaded up...

takes 30 seconds to make a blank chromatic program.
