mpc2000 questions

i've done a search and haven't found answers to my questions, so if there is an earlier thread which answers any of my questions please direct me to it.

i just purchased an akai mpc 2000 classic and i have two questions how do i get the beats from the mpc to my computer so that i can listen to them and add stuff to them? i know there is a way to "dump" tracks into pro tools but i haven't been able to find any information on this. can anyone help me out? also, how do i go about using a midi controller to add basslines and melodies? do i just hook the midi out of the keyboard into the midi in of the mpc 2000 and then i can play sounds from the mpc? or is there any way to hook the mpc up to reason with my midi keyboard so i can play sounds from reason? thanks.

GO ON YOUTUBE TYPE IN MPC SYNCH REASON AND ULL GET THE ANSWERS U LOOKIN FOR

You can record the audio output(s) of your mpc into protools via the audio input of your soundcard.
There is no easy way to play melodies via a midi controller hooked up to the 2K classic; make a program with tuned copies of the same bass note sample and assign them to a set of note numbers in the program which you then can trigger from the midi controller.
