Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and I have some questions regarding the MPC One.
What I want is to create a hardware effetcsloop, so I can easily process for example a drum loop I created inside the MPC with some outboard effect.
I´d like to connect the outs of my MPC to e.g. my guitar-pedalboard or any outboard effect, and the output of that device to the inputs of my MPC. Then I´d connect headphones to the Mac to hear what's going on.
So i´d have to separate the audio going to the headphone jack from the audio going out the main output ports, like if I had a mixer with a 3/4 sub out.

Is that possible on the MPC One?
Or is there any other way I can use my outboard effects with my MPC generated sounds in this way (with getting the sounds back into my Mac for sequencing etc)?


Hoping this post doesn't get too long, I have another question:
inside the MPC one I can select up to 8 output ports to route my audio to, even though it has only 2 hardware ports. Where does my audio go if I route it to output 3-8? couldn't find anything on this in the manual.

I´d love to get some help on this :)

since the firmware on the Live/X/one is the same, those outputs are for other models with more physical outs
