Midi hookup question

[mr. torture]

Hello all,
I need to know if this can be done. And if it can be done, how do i do it?
I have a Yamaha AW4416 hooked up through midi to an Akai MPC2000XL.
Basically i use the Yamaha to send MTC control to the Akai to run them in sync. What i would like to do is add a keyboard into the chain. This keyboard has a built in sequencer and midi capability. I would like to have all 3 work together in sync. When i press "Play" on the Yamaha, the Akai starts up and follows along. I would like for all 3 to follow along. I hope i have explained this well enough. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

I would just use the MPC sequencer for everything and use the keyboard as an input on the MPC. Otherwise, just use the midi thru on the MPC and connect it to the keyboard

Thanks for your help!

Or you can buy a midi splitter so that you can send the midi output (including MTC) from the keyboard to the AW4416 and MPC without having to worry about whether your timing will start to drag.
