HOW DO I MAKE MIDI CONNECTIONS WITH AN AKAI MPC2500, a MIDI INTERFACE, AND MIDI CONTROLLER? WITH THE MPC AS MASTER?
I want to use the Akai MPC2500 as MIDI master. I'll use my sequencing software Mackie's Tracktion2 (as slave) for recording vocal tracks, scratching, etc. -My MIDI Interface (Edirol UA-25) has one MIDI In and one MIDI Out. My MIDI Controller (M-Audio's Oxygen 49) has one MIDI Out. And my Akai MPC2500 has two MIDI Ins (1&2); and four MIDI Outs (A,B,C,&D). How do I make my MIDI connections? Please help!!

As far as midi cable wiring, the midi controller out to the midi in of the MPC. And the midi out of the MPC into the midi in of the interface. And I take it your interface connects to your computer via USB or firewire. You'll have to figure out the software settings elsewhere because I don't know how to configure it.
