midi...

I've searched the topics here and even on other sites, and i cant find exactly what I'm looking for so maybe someone here can help.

i just got a Korg M3R rack, and a midi keyboard, i hooked everything up like it shows in the MPC 2000xl manual, as well as the M3R manual.

so my question is, should i be hearing sounds come out of the MPC or is it just there to sequence the M3R. Cuz right now i have to connect the M3R to the mixer as well to hear what i program on the MPC. If i record some synth into the MPC and then turn off the M3R should i still be able to hear the sequence i just recorded or do both machines need to be on.

I'm just curious if there is a way to get around this. For example i recorded a loop from the M3R and swithed sounds on the rack, and it also swithed on the MPC. So what if i want to use more than one sound??

I hope what I'm looking for makes some sense. I know there is a lot of knowledge on this website and maybe someone with a little more familiarity with Midi will be able to help me out.

Thanks a lot every one

Midi is not sound, so you will need to have both machines connected to hear what you seq, and to hear sounds from m3r.

Not possible on the 2Xl, as you cannot resample the osunds into the machine it self. All sound comes from the M3R.

cool! Thanks a lot for the help!
