well to start off, i live in the middle east, and its hard to find old MPC models around, so i read about the renaissance model and kinda liked it.

but i have a question, i know that the MPC Ren. does not have a "standalone sequencer" so am i going to be able to connect it to an actual mixer like the Yamaha mg124cx?

if the answer is yes, which ports am i supposed to use, the stereo out ports or the assignable mix out ports?

because i want to control the tracks that i am making from an external mixer, is that even possible?

thank you..

I have a Yamaha desk MG series also, run the stereo outs to the desk, yeah fine. Or track the audio via your pc/mac via USB, your choice. I go through the yamaha desk as I can utilise the send/returns of the desk for old analog effects units and it just means I can EQ better via the desk, as well as having all my other synths running through the desk.
