MPC Live works as a 2i6 interface

Post by rofer »

I just got an MPC Live and was pleasantly surprised to find that when set to controller mode it actually works an audio interface.

It gives you:
2x 1/4 line-level inputs (or alternatively two phono jacks)
6x 1/4 line-level outputs
2x MIDI DIN outs
2x MIDI DIN ins

I haven't tested the MIDI ports as I usually use USB MIDI, but all four were recognized so I assume they work.

It also works as an external hard drive and (presumably SD card reader).

Next time I plug it in I can also check if it works as a USB hub.

I found no information online about people using this with Linux, so I thought it was worth posting. Let me know if there's anything you want me to test.
