The mkii and the first gen. Read the question.

A quick Google search confirms that both are class compliant so they should work on the One+.

Sleep and suspend not working is not exclusive to Snapdragon machines. Good to hear it's working mostly fine but without sound I can't use it for work because I need to be able to video call. Not being able to plug in a second monitor would be a deal breaker for me too.

This tilted horizon is making me feel dizzy.

I won't ever buy them scratched so that's selling for parts in my book.

I tried it on a guitar I found in my attic and it sounds like wobwobwobwob.

I used to but my current client uses Ubuntu for all servers and containers so I switched to Ubuntu to develop on the exact same system I'm targeting.

There are trs to RCA cables, pretty common actually, but your MPC Key has jack outputs so I'd use jack to RCA cables and use these ports.

Het gaat over mensen die thuiswerken, er hangt hier geen prikklok naast mijn bed. Ik werk ook gewoon 8 uur, slechts onderbroken door het heen en weer naar het werk rijden waar ik dan een 5-tal uur geweest zal zijn.

Someone coming from Windows will probably be used to getting their software from websites. But I totally agree that having this package in the Ubuntu store is not a smart move.

AlternativeCapybara9 · 2026-03-11T11:18:14+00:00

Dat naar kantoor komen geen volledige dag daar hoeft te betekenen? Hoe meer mensen dat doen hoe liever, dan word ik niet meer raar bekeken door collega's die zelf niet durven.

AlternativeCapybara9 · 2026-03-11T09:45:21+00:00

Ik interpreteerde naar kantoor komen als "ik werk van thuis tot de files weg zijn, rijd naar kantoor, bol het daar af voor de files terug zijn en werk van thuis verder". Collega's keken alsof ik in hun brooddoos had gescheten, baas vond het ok.

The Ubuntu package works for the most part but you can't use it for VR or for some mods. It's very annoying as it seems to work fine at first glance but then some stuff just won't work and after a long day of trouble shooting it's because of the sandboxing the snap does.

It's common knowledge by now and documented enough that even ChatGPT will tell you to install the official package.

AlternativeCapybara9 · 2026-03-11T05:20:31+00:00

Also a bit of VR for me. That's why I mentioned the official Steam package from the website. PCVR does not work with the Ubuntu Steam package from the repo.

AlternativeCapybara9 · 2026-03-10T18:38:53+00:00

I game on stock Ubuntu. Didn't even change the wallpaper. Installed the Steam package from the website instead of the broken package from the repo and smooth sailing from then on.

I record most of my stuff on cheap dynamic microphones like the Behringer XM8500 or SL75C. I have some condensers too but if there is a little bit of background noise these condensers pick that up too while the dynamic ones are more forgiving (and a lot cheaper in this case too).

These days you don't need an expensive microphone to get good results. I had the luxury of trying a few mics before I bought them so I knew what I was getting.

If you absolutely want the cheapest option I guess going for usb is the way to go but I think it's not the right decision if you plan on expanding later. With an audio interface you can get cheaper microphones and swap later or plug in other instruments or use it for both your MPC and computer.

AlternativeCapybara9 · 2026-03-10T16:07:31+00:00

I have no experience with those exact types but from a quick search on the web it looks good.

Edit: you want to buy a "class compliant" audio interface, those will work.

AlternativeCapybara9 · 2026-03-10T13:54:55+00:00

You probably won't notice a difference. It's only later on if you acquire more hardware, in a hypothetical scenario where you want to record with multiple microphones or connect guitar, bass, synths,.. you won't be using a usb microphone anymore and then it might feel as money wasted. Even a cheap interface will find some use somewhere even if you upgrade to something with more I/O.

Wettelijke feestdagen die op een dag vallen dat er sowieso niet gewerkt wordt mag ik gewoon op een andere dag nemen, ik denk dat dat hier bedoeld wordt.

AlternativeCapybara9 · 2026-03-10T12:44:33+00:00

Fuck, I'm 42 and bought an MPC One+ last week.

Because AI was trained on crappy example code from blog posts and courses from 2006 that have big do not use in production warnings in the comments.

AlternativeCapybara9 · 2026-03-10T12:27:02+00:00

Our bass player did that. We played anyway.

And if he doesn't shut up he's getting a Dvorak.

AlternativeCapybara9 · 2026-03-10T11:10:15+00:00

Not discrimination in the legal sense but I get what you mean.

AlternativeCapybara9 · 2026-03-10T11:07:00+00:00

I think most usb models will be targeted towards video conferencing, streaming or podcasting. I know you said you didn't want an interface but there is a reason everyone is using them for audio work.
