I am wanting to run tracks out through the extra outputs, through an SP404, and then back into the inputs.
Is this possible in realtime? As in can I monitor the input while playing the sequence through the main outputs?

Just go to sampling page and turn on monitoring, then you will hear the inputs even if you go to other pages, since getting the live the 404 has now become my go to fx box and I use it exactly like this.
Also add a midi cable so you can clock the 404 from the live.

Awesome, thanks for that. The 404 effect are great :nod:

Is it possible to send 1/2 to speakers and 5/6 to the sp on the same time? I want to sample back and forth with the mpc and sp adding fx and stuff. Checked the manual but couldn‘t find an answer. Also the level is super high when sampling from the mpc to the sp (when changing the outputs to 5/6 in the program routing), is it possible to lower the level permanently?

I'm running to a issue I've tried this connection but the effects seem to not be working do I need to record into the SP and send it back or can I just play it through the MP and tweak through the SP?

Am I missing something because I’m trying but I feel like I’m not getting no effects from the SP to come through. I have it setup the way the diagram has it laid out. I hear the sounds of the SP in the mpc software but no effects are happening to what’s playing out of the mpc.

It can be played through without recording.

I hear the sounds of the SP in the mpc software but no effects are happening to what’s playing out of the mpc, I have external sources on also.
