Hello,
in my MPC One I see inputs 1,2,3,4 or combined 1+2, 3+4
why?
There are only two phisical inputs on the back.
Or are they stereo?

The MPC One/Live/X all share the same software and general architecture. You can load any project from one to the other. The X has inputs 1-4, so even though the One cannot see them (neither can the Live), they are still present so that if you move a project from one to the other, they are still compatible.

thanks, could I connect my ToneX pedal to the USB port and have that as additional input, together with the 2 built in, and using the audio outputs of MPC One?

No. When you connect a USB audio device, the MPC’s built-in interface is disabled, and only the external one is used.
