casio keyboard to mpc

Hey guys.

ive read topics on this sort of thing before, im really just trying to clarify cos im a bit confused.

im getting a casio keyboard which has midi in and out. what i want to do is, hook it up to my mpc and bang in a drum sequence, then playing that, and while thats playing back i want to play some notes on the keyboard. like a melody/base line whatever, and i want it to record directly to the mpc and keep playing. can it do that?
now i know midi cables dont carry audio, so do i hook it up through the audio outs of the keyboard?

sorry if thats confusin..just trying to rap my head around it.

cheers.

Which MPC and which casio?

Find out if it is a multitimbral kb...If it is, you're in the game....

k well it says its got a 4 track (or thereabouts) mixer that is multitimbral..so i hopefully it will do what i want it to do.

thanks for the help.

Based on the description it is multitimbral. So what u are wanting to do should work fine.

You can connect the casio to the input feature. So if thats what u are referring to then yes.
