Hey I am new to the forums and i was wondering if someone could help me out with this. When I try to resample a sequence only the drums on the MPC are recorded; my keyboard which is hooked up is completely ignored or you just can't hear it. Both the MPC drums and keyboard sounds are recorded on the sequence but when i try to resample it only the MPC drums are recorded. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi you cannot record Midi Data from your Keyboard as Audio Files. !!!!!

...direct recording... ...input through... ...midi is not audio... ...any other gear? - mixer? daw? multitrack?...

...go to tweakheadz and learn basic recording theory...

the possibilities are endless but the human mind seems to have problems with that...
step by step tutorials only get you to places where others already have been...

and by the way "resampling" means to rerecord a sound that is already in the mpc - what you want to do is to sample the audio of your sequenced midi tracks to the mpc, if you want to finish the song in the mpc.

Connect the Cable from your Keyboard Outs to the Record Ins at the MPC.
That is Direct Recording and you can sample the Sounds from your Keyboard.

An allways remember: MIDI is not AUDIO :wink:

Only one Output Jack ?
What a Keyboard is that ? ???

You must use the same Cable where is in your Mixer.

Are you kidding me ???!!!!!
