Sampling to MPC-60 II from my SP-12 Turbo..........help!

I just have a quick question for all you cable and freak, input / output jack nuts.

I understand the concept of balanced and unbalanced but here is where i'm running into trouble. I'm running a signal from my compressor (left channel mono output) using a balanced (mono) quarter inch cable into the SAMPLE IN of my SP-12 turbo. After i'm finished truncating my drums I then have channel 8 going out using a mono quarter inch going into the SAMPLE IN of my MPC-60 II. I have the MPC-60 II connected to my mixer TAPE IN for monitoring purposes by using the STEREO OUT MIX of the 60. I don't quite understand why but i'm not getting an even signal into the mixer. The MPC-60 is sending out a RIGHT CHANNEL only signal. I thought since the signal in is mono the signal out should be a balanced one even if I am using STEREO MIX out. Is there an alternative to this. I tried MIX OUT of the 60 but am getting no monitoring signal prior to sampling. So while truncating samples in my 60 all I hear now is the RIGHT channel. Yes i did check my cable to make sure it was functioning on both channels and it's not the problem. It's something else. I must be confused somewhere. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated as I sound deaf in one ear. I can send you images of all my connections if that helps getting a visual comprehension.



PS. Sampling SP-12(00) drums into an MPC-60 II sounds absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! I recommend everybody get one. hahah

Peace.

I dunno, I am still deciding what to do with it Ill get back at ya if I decide to part with it

check your mpc mixer screen to make sure they aren't panned hard right.

You should use the main outs.

do you have both mpc main outs connected with mono cables (unbalanced) ?

if anything else is hooked up to the mixer, it can be trouble.

Don't use tape in. use a stereo channel or two mono's, at least to test.

Many mixers have a tape volume knob, make sure that is hooked up. Do your other sound monitor through the 60 with both channels?

i have my 8 main outputs going into my mixer. For monitoring samples going through the MPC I was under the impression that you could only use STEREO MIX out to hear that? I only use TAPE in as a monitor because it's the TRUEST SIGNAL with no volume adjust.

yup only the stereo mix. Hmmm.... swap thr Left Right channels going in to the tape in and see if it switches speakers.

COuld probably trouble shoot this easier on the phone.

dRUMATIC, So do you have the upgrade on the 60?

hmm, im having a similar problem with my s900. i have my turntable run thru a mixer and left out goes into the record in of the s900; then left and right out into respective inputs on the mpc, but when i sample into my mpc i can only hear one side...
