The Akai MPK is USB powered. But it has a midi port on the back. If I was to plug in another keyboard to the Akai MPk25 through the MIDI Port with a midi cord, would that keyboard work for FL Studio?

So basically, the MPK25 would be powered through USB and be activated in FL Studio, then I'd plug in the other keyboard with a MIDI Cord into the MPK25 through it's own MIDI Port, would that make the other keyboard work right? Or would it not?
 
no. the way the MPKs and MPD midi i/o work is that the MPD/K becomes a midi interface for connecting midi gear to be sequenced in a hardware host when powered via usb. If you use the wall unit you can trigger rack instruments from the MPK/D stand alone. Midi cables do not power anything.
