The signal sent out of these outputs is the main mix. In the MPC software, you can set what
is routed to these outputs in the Program Mixer tab, by selecting OUT 1,2 as the OUT for
one pad or multiple pads.

included). The signal sent from these outputs is full-volume (0 dB). In the MPC software, you
can set what is routed to these outputs in the Program Mixer tab, by selecting OUT 3,4 as
the OUT for one pad or multiple pads.
8. S/PDIF IN/OUT – Use standard RCA cables to connect these jacks to devices that can
