Hi everybody. I am a new owner of mpc x and mpc in general. This is also my first post in here. Really enjoying the mpc so far and have re-started my interest for making music again, not just listening.
My question is; do the mpc X have 6 or 8 analog 1/4 jack outputs? On the FAQ on akai.com it is clearly stated that mpc x has 8 analog audio outputs. When I try to route the different programs in mpc x to output 1-8, this works perfectly for all channels except output 1 and 2. On the back output 1 and 2 are clearly labeled as Main L+R. It is stated in the mpc x user manual that programs can be routed to 1 and 2 which is routing to L+R. Since there actually is a routing to output 1 and 2, there should be 8 separate working analog outputs?
I think maybe I must be missing something obvious here, or? I have not been able to find any information that address this topic specifically, but if this is covered elsewhere I do apologize.
The setup I am building is:
MPC X outputs to analog mixer Mackie1604VLZ4
Effects through the analog aux send return.
Then add one or more hardware synth after a while.
The reason for the hardware route is that I have just found it a bit more inspirational than pure software. So it does matter whether it is 6 or 8 channels.
Any advice, help, or just pointing me in the right direction will be much appreciated.
Regards
Jon
