The official MPC X & Live Hacks Thread

This person seemed onto something, and smarter than the average bear:

Reading it... something can be done, I think. But other than rumors of JJOS or the like, I've not seen anything else.

that is pretty interesting. I don't see that guy leaving it there... i look forward to seeing what he ends up trying.

Dudes are crazy, they ask for monitor/mouse/keyboard support on the Live.... Next thing you know they'll be asking for a Facebook app

There is already an app for splice... so it's already there.

He actually said a facebook app to be specific , not a general app

Thank you for clearing that up. I was clearly confused at the time. Don't know what I was thinking.

No problem bro.

I think I'm on to something here.
Has anyone tried this or made this happen before.

Try turning it off and on it while it's connected and see if you can reproduce it.

So I tried turning it off and on and it worked. I even recorded with the id22 interface directly into the MPC in standalone mode. i got Superior audio quality now

So as long as it's plugged in before you turn it on, the MPC X will recognize it? How many channels can you record at the same time? How many outputs does it give you?

I'll have to test it but so far I can use 2 inputs. My interface only has two analog inputs and The other two are digital.

Dude. Thats a dope random run in

Okay so it's official. I used a second class compliant Core Audio usb interface.
A behringer monitor 2 controller and it works!!!

I plugged the MPCX directly to the behringer using USB only. I connected the USB cable first and then powered up the MPc x. As soon as the firmware is loaded the audio plays as it supposed to.

Are you plugged into the USB A port or the USB B? Also does it increase the amount of outputs on the MPC? If the usb interface has 16 outs, will the MPC X see them all? What about those digital inputs, did the MPC X see them.

I'm just waiting to see if anybody else can confirm if this works with their MPC live or mpc x in older firmware versions. Right now all I hear is crickets from everybody.
