Hi there,
i just bought a kaoss pad and want to connect it with my MPC one. i bought midi cables to wire them up. But I can't find how it all works together. I only worked with my MPC only, but I want to be able to use different machines. I also own a Roland Td-17, that I can connect to it somehow, i guess? :hmmm:
is there anyone out here that can explain some things, or maybe some YouTube videos where they explain it?

Youll need to connect the kaosspad to one of your outputs and route it back in to your MPC. I'm not sure if the one has any extra outputs.

& this is why you NEVER get an sampler with 1 pair of outs . . . . . . . . .

I learned the hardway with my roland MV

Connect MPC audio out to kaoss audio in. Kaoss audio out to your amp or mixer or speakers.

Ideally you'd want to connect via send/returns, but not possible with MPC One unless you're using an external mixer.
