Does Mpc Live send midi clock through usb?
I was quite sure it does but then I read on Akai page that usb only recieves midi clock and now I am confused.

Does anyone have a Red Panda Particle v2 and can confirm that I can midi clock slave it to Mpc master with just a usb cable?
Sorry, I am asking that since a week and nobody replied clearly.
I also sent a mail to Akai and Red Panda but I had no reply.

Well if its class compliant then it can send midi clock to a class compliant MIDI device over USB but you cant just send MIDI clock out of USB otherwise.
Mine has no problem sending clock to all 8 ports of my AMT8, my Blofeld, BassStation or TD-3 that are connected USB. But those are also class compliant USB devices.

Ok, perfect.
I don't really think that Particle is class compliant, isn't it?
How can I know it?
