Before I bought an interface (Mobile Pre) I just used the headphone thing in front of the mpc and plugged it to my speakers. But now i plugged my speakers into interface and I want to plug my mpc1000 into the interface. That way i can have my keyboard and stuff play from the speakers and stuff as well. So im wondering what wires i need? do i gotta get this wire?

dont run the headphone output from the mpc to the interface. the headphone output is slightly amplified.

you should use the main outputs from the back of the mpc.

get yourself two quarter inch (1/4") cables... you dont need balanced ones.

well you can get ones that are just standard mono jacks which only have two sections on the jack (one ring below the tip) which is all you need... get two of those.

when you get to the shop, look at the different ones. you will see a price difference between the two also.
