Playing the Instruments with a MIDI Keyboard

Instruments can be also played using an attached MIDI keyboard. For standalone
MPCs/Force you can connect a USB keyboard directly to your MPC’s USB port and

you should immediately be able to play the instrument assigned to the current
track, no additional configuration needed.
