I made a simple phone stand yesterday, to be mounted on the rear of the MPC One. No additional tools are needed.
This is version 1.0 but it works just fine.
Using an android phone, you can trigger MIDI IN and OUT, this combined with Roland Zenbeats app gives working and fun to play standalone arranger.
On the web it is possible to find many applications that trigger MIDI in different ways (also via WiFi).
Below I will throw a few photos, a sample movie and a file ready for 3D printing.

In the example video, Track 1 trigger Android, and Android trigger back different Track in MPC, depending on which track is selected in the APP.
Play and stop sync. You can even record MIDI back to the MPC at the same time during playback.
Generally this is just for fun, occasionally bugs do occur, but everything is generally stable.
Overall, the combination of Android and MPC is a mine of creative sounds that can be recorded back into a looper, cut into samples, etc.




Applications that I tested:

Roland Zenbeats:

Nice work on the 3D printed stand - clever to just have it hang in the MPC One's air vent. I use my iPad and iPhone in a similar manner all of the time with my MPC - just a blast to use iOS synths and apps as a sound source to sample or sequence with. Never thought of making a stand like that, though - cool idea!
