I'm in the midst of moving, and wont have the rest of my equipment here in my new location for a while. So i just brought my MPC 1000 with me, and I'm looking to cop a module (probably a Mo'phatt) to have some more versatility. Will a mixer be needed to incorporate audio from Mo'phatt to the MPC 1000? (I had it linked up to my computer before, and used Reason as a module, this time i'm running an all hardware setup for now and am unsure as to if a mixer is needed or not.)

Is the record in on 1k active throughout all/different modes in the os that you have? If so, then connect the mphatt to mpc 1k line ins. MPC record in as mixer that way. ALL sound from both machines will go out as mpc audio.

If not, use a mixer to hear mophat sounds.

I was interested in getting one of these modules as well... But I do not know much about them... Are they not MIDI equiped?

its probably a good idea to get a mixer. eventually you'll get more gear, or you'll have a friend come over to jam and it'll just simplify things. plus you have more control over each device (seperate volumes, pan, 3 band eq, auxilary in's n out's). you can get a pretty cheap samson. they're pretty sturdy

I assumed he had a mixer already, but it is in the process of moving and he will not have access to it for a while....
