MIDI Question

Hey y'all, whats up. Well, I'm just getting into MIDI, trying to do something new as I have normally just been sampling. Anyways, I was setting up my Yamaha DGX-200 keyboard to my MPC, I had the midi in of the keyboard to the midi out of the mpc and the midi out of the keyboard to the midi in of the mpc. Alright, heres where the problem is. I recorded a drum line onto my mpc then made a new track and switched it to Midi and to the correct device thingie. So I record the me playing the keyboard over the drum line. All is well. But when it plays back, the mpc is only playing the drum track, and the speakers through my keyboard are only playing the the melody I just played with the keyboard. What I want to do is have them together so I can just press play on the mpc and everything plays together. Cuz like now, if I turn the volume on my keyboard all the way down then press play on the MPC, then only the drum track plays. Can anyone help me out here?

It sounds to me like you have everything working the right way. If what you want is to hear both the MPC and your keyboard sounds coming out of the same set of speakers you need a mixer. MIDI does NOT transmit audio, it just tells your keyboard when and what to play.

'couldn't say better........

Aiight, I thought that might be the case because MIDI is data. But in that case, how do I record the keyboard melodies to my pc with the mpc shit? Do I just hook my keyboard up to the pc?

Kase;
Yeah. You can hook up either the MPC or Keyboard or both to your PC, but if you had a mixer that would seriously help.

Peace.
