Hi, please help:
I have problem - MPC one + L-12 are working fine until I press play button on MPC, than cca 30-60 second everything playing well and than for few seconds is clipping and distortion the sound, after that it fixed itself and the situation is repeated.
I think problem is in "MPC play", because for example when I play my synths via L-12 multitrack to mpc everything is just fine no distortion.... until i press play.....

MPC one+ 3.6 with audio device L-12 32 in/out mode (in 4 input mode - same problem)
Zoom Livetrak L-12, latest firmwawre 2.20, class compliant mode, 44.1 khz

Thank you for your tip (my last option is tascam model 12 or 16)

Hi, i had the same issue, and the problem is happening on newer versions of mpc. After spending a LOT of time and checking practically every possible setting, i downgraded mpc to version 2.14 and it seems to work properly now.
