Yes. This one to be specific:

Start saving. 
big difference on needing and wanting.
The saffire 24 has 2 inputs on the front - these will take your mpc ST outs.
On the back, it has two line inputs, if you want to sample you could connect your TT (if it has a internal pre-amp) into here.
It has 6 outputs - run two of these to your monitors, one for each speaker.
Run two (left and right) to your mpc IN, this will route incoming audio to your mpc.
OR
Run a SPDIF cable from the digital out to the digital in on the mpc, and vice versa, run the SPDIF out from the mpc to the SPDIF in on the Focusrite.
If you want to sample wax, you'll need a turntable with a pre-amp. most Turntables dont have inbuilt pre-amps so a DJ mixer with a inbuilt pre-amp is required. you can alternatively buy a turntable wih usb out, just means you will have to record your samples to your computer, then playback from the computer and into the mpc. or load it via CF cards / floppy discs.
edit: for PC playback its a simple firewire connection, im assuming you have a firewire port.

Hope that helped
