hallo Guys
I have a problem, please help me find a solution. I need to send a CLICK signal from the MPC ONE into my drummer's headphones. just the click. How can I do? Obviously the two main outputs of the mpc one go into the mixer, I tried to get the click signal out of the phones out only, but nothing, it is not possible. Some advice?
INFINITE THANKS

Hello It's impossible !! That's why the Live or X is lot better ! The only think you can do is output your tracks on a single channel (Left , output 1) and the click sound output on the other channel (right, output 2) ( from a separate track and program , not from the metronome settings)

So you loose the stereo and get a mono output for the click :cry:

Probably a crazy thought... but you've got CV outs... you might be able to use that to generate a click, though signal will be hot as hell... maybe try it on some crap speakers first...

I've tried it before, with no positive results. maybe with the midi? when i decided the mpc one over the Live i didn't believe that the separate outs could become so useful

otherwise you let it (the cv/gate out) trigger a 'real' click

I'll make it simpler, I switch to LIVE, would you be able to confirm me if with the live (having more outputs) I can route the metronome on one of these?

Thank :worthy:

You cannot route a metronome, but the solution is to just setup a track called metronome, a program called metronome, and then draw your clicks out as you see fit.

on the mpc one or live? on the mpc one i can choose the outputs for the metronome, and it's the same software. But in the mpc one i can't assign other outputs because there aren't, but in the mpc live yes.

right?
:WTF:

wow, sounds good

A crappy router (for wifi) plus a used iphone 5s with Link will be cheaper than the Live ;)
