I want to use the MPC60s pads to program drum parts on an external sequencer, but I can get any of the MIDI outputs to send note-on messages when I play the pads. How do I do it?

1. In the Play/Record screen, set the Type field to DRUM or select a track that has a Type of DRUM. Then, set the track’s Chn field to the desired output MIDI channel and port. 2. In the MIDI key, option 1 screen, you can change the note numbers assigned to each pad if desired. 3. If you are simultaneously using the pads to program the external sequencer and using the MPC60’s sound generator to receive from the external sequencer, then set both the Soft thru and Local mode fields to OFF. These fields are in the screen accessed by pressing the MIDI key and selecting option 2.
