Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Sorry for the double post, posted in the wrong form.

I got a problem,
My Partner has a MC909 an syncs to Cubase on a laptop.
He's selling his 909 an most of his songs are arranges in Cubase using the 909 as a external sound device only(not using the sequencer on the 909 only the sounds)
He wants to load the samples from the 909 into a MPC 4K, and have Cubase trigger the samples from a prearranged Sequence that has been completed.
Now I loaded each set of samples into separate Programs, assigned the midi channel in each program and set up sync to midi in I.
When I hit play on Cubase, I don't hear anything.
Is there a way to use the 4k as a external sound device?

Also,
The 4k don't have a D# on its pads, or in a piano roll. Why Anybody know?
Thanks

what you guys gotta do is dump all the tracks before you sell it then there's no loss
