Run everything through the mpc. Connect the Control surface midi out to the mpc midi in. Then connect the midi in of the control surface to the midi out of the mpc. Then see the following thread:

Hope this helps.

Sorry, you'll need a midi to usb adapter. See the equipment listing in the link I posted.
