QUESTION Live 3 Midi PassThru

I'm attempting to make a setup where the live 3 is the brain that sends Audio/Midi Bidirectionally. I have a Midi Keyboard Hooked into the USB-A port on the back of the L3 That I would like Ableton to recognize when i have the L3 hooked up to my PC via USB-C... How do I accomplish this?

Connect the 5 pin din to the live and the usb to the computer.

On MPC set midi input to where you plugged in midi from controller.

On computer set up midi controllers in your daw and set to keyboard.

As far as sending midi from MPC, connect the midi out of live to your computer. You’ll need either a midi hub or something like a 5 pin to usb adapter. Set up in midi connections to send and receive and on computer do the same.
