From the manual:

"10. Inputs (1/4” / 6.35 mm): Use standard 1/4” (6.35 mm) TRS cables to connect these inputs to an audio source (mixer, synthesizer, drum machine, etc.). ..."
and
"14. Outputs (1/4” / 6.35 mm): Use standard 1/4” (6.35 mm) TRS cables to connect these outputs to your monitors, mixer, etc.). The Master L/R outputs are the same as Outputs 1,2."

But if you are connecting something with unbalanced out, like most synths have, then ordinary TS cables can be used to the MPC's inputs.
The same with the outputs. If you are connecting these to something with an unbalanced input, ordinary TS cables will work fine.
