Hi

i have an MPC touch and I use its audio interface alongside a Technics SL1210 mk2 and a Behringer Nox 101 mixer. I have TRS cables from the mixer into my MPC touch and then TRS cables from my touch to my monitors.

I have recently completed my setup and noticed that the MPC software has to be running to allow the vinyl to play through my monitors. This isn't a major issue, but i would like to turn the LCD screen off so i dont reduce its life. Sometimes, i just want to listen to vinyl and others, i want to grab a quick sample.

I know on the MPC ren i had no problem and the MPC software didnt need to be open to listen to vinyls. Well as far as i can remember.

Im looking for a way to wither turn the MPC LCD completely off, but still have it functioning. Therefore listening to the vinyl, or have a similar concept to the ren, where the machine was turned on, but the software didn't need to be open.

Has anybody else noticed this? How have you resolved the problem?

There' is no problem, I wouldnt worry about the screen's life, this is not mpc2000 or 60 or 3000.

There's a good chance the screen will out-live you
