MPC ONE as an audio interface only.

Hello all. My setup is very simple. 100% in the box. My main audio interface is the RME Digiface USB. Nostalgia is eating me just a bit now. I wanted to play with my old few hardware I still have, locked away in a closet. While looking for an ADAT option, like the Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic, I realized I could use the the MPC One as an interface instead, for only the few times I wanted to play and record my old gear. In my situation the OctoPre Dynamic would be a bit of a waste as I really don't need 8 I/Os all the time. Just a stereo input from time to time, then switch back to my Digiface USB when I am back 100% in the box. The investment would be close the Focusrite, but with a much more fun tool added to my minimalist arsenal. I've found one video of the MPC as an audio interface, but that was a while back. Now with 2.8 is there anything more added since that video was posted? Any feedback welcomed. Thanks.

The MPC Live and X can be used as audio interfaces while hooked to your computer. Not sure about the MPC One (maybe a One owner will chime in). That said, you already have a far superior interface - that RME Digiface is an awesome interface with superior low-latency performance. I'd just add a cheap Behringer ADA8200 or similar to your RME Digiface and call it a day if you need some analog XLR and TRS line-in.

I use the Akai EiE Pro....Discontinued but a lot online

Regarding the Behringer that unit is too expensive for what it is right now. It was a cheap solution 3 years ago.
I'll get the user manual for both Live and ONE and compare. Thank you all.

The user manual for the One and Live is the same... it has different sections to describe differences/specifics for each device.
