It all has to do with the needs of each person and the way they work. The MPC offers me a main source of inspiration and implementation, but being an amazing sequencer it would be a shame not to take advantage of the rest of my external equipment, but this requires for me the parallel ability to record this equipment, including returning the fx units and the MPC to the computer. That's where the digiface usb comes in for me, which gave me the ability to communicate the MPC with external converters and the audio interface that talks to the computer. So the advantages. Ability to route any channel from the MPC to the Cue mix fx of Motu without time delay, the ability to process (compressors, EQ reverb.) and at the same time their parallel routing to fx. At the same time, the ability to digitally record 16 channels of the MPC into the computer and an additional 8 channels of external sources connected to the sound card as it has 16 ADAT channels + 8 analog pre amps. Imagine that the 32 channels offered by the digiface would allow extra routing to digital consoles or other adat converters which end up in analog consoles for further mixing and return to the base. Now due to the increased processing power of the updated MPC G2 models I noticed that I can digitally route any external source that comes to my Motu straight to MPC input without noticing problems with jitter clips and pops this was something very pleasant as I managed to record 32 bars without problems and it overturns my previous post. Some will say that the new G2 models have the ability to record 24 channels to the computer directly but let them take into account that it is only that and nothing more in relation to what I mentioned above.
