Do you guys know if it's possible to use an outboard reverb as a send on the mpc?

Without a mixing board I mean. Just the mpc with an hardware reverb.

No FX returns on the MPC of course, but maybe you could sample the output from the outboard FX??

Yep,

You could send the output of one of the effects to an mpc individual output and route that to your reverb, (the mpc effect slot would be dry of course).

But because the audio input of the mpc isn't "live" unles you are in the record mode - you do need an external mixer.

I wish the external input was live in the mpc (like the ASR-X pro).
