short question. Is it possible to set the samplerate from my Live-II to 48khz?

Sample Rate

This is the frequency representing the amount of individual digital sample scans per second
that are taken to capture an analog signal digitally. For normal CD audio recordings, 44100
samples per second are used, also written as 44.1 kHz.

You can export audio using sampling rates up to 96 kHz (see Operation > General Features
> Audio Mixdown) and play audio using 44.1 kHz.

Mixdown, yes.
Anything else, no.

Thank you. I expressed myself somewhat unclearly.
So that means no. I wanted to connect a Zoom L-6 via USB, for example. No problem for the analog inputs and outputs, but for the conversion process via USB.

Yes. The ZOOM is fixed to 48 kHz. That's a pity

What is the best way to connect Logic with other devices that have different sample rates? Also wanted to use the MPC 3 DAW synchronized to MPC. Logic offers "Aggregate Devices". But I have to gain some experience first, as I have other devices like a Nord Electro 5 etc. Or just switch everything analog? Everything fixed only at home with Mac-Studio. In the moment the Nord ist connected only MIDI to MPC Live II to internal speakers.

The MPC isn't going to do Audio over Computer USB in standalone mode anyway, so your question isn't really relevant to the MPC. Get a proper audio interface and use the MPC's analogue outputs.

Thanks. Yes, I know that. The USB is for iPad or Mac. The L6 is delivered today, and I connected the analog side as you mentioned and what is logical to do. I have an UA Interface already and behind that the L6. I will see, what I can do now with my iPad and Mac additional. I will see, what make sense, and what not. Its a nice play to see and learn what is possible now.
