mpc help

[palmersutra]

so i recently purchased an akai mpc 2000, and im having problems connecting it to my keyboard so that the keyboard signal can be heard when sequencing.

can anyone help?

[dementedchord]

most likely the problem is the channels do not match... that is the mpc needs to transmit the keyboard midi signal on one of the channels... and the keyboard needs to be set to receive on the same channel (1-16)... make sense????

the problem could be the channels, but im not sure if im using the right ports on the mpc either.
