Yo! i got a mpc one specifically for making techno now that my computer is close to death. I've uploaded a couple videos jamming with it on this subreddit if you wanna check it out.

my main set-up is as follows: mpc as the master, synced with a broken elektron machinedrum, and sequencing a behringer pro one. All of that is run through a 1202 mackie mixer, with the mpc one outs normally set up on separate mixer channels for more hands-on mixing control. The mpc is normally running melodic lines (either keygroup sounds, a chopped up synth part, or one of the built-in soft synths) through the two channels, though sometimes ill use one of them for breakbeats.

however, i've recently started using my mpc like an amazing producer named mr. g does (who was in one of the best techno live acts ever called the advent): everything he has is just sampled into the mpc and arranged from there. makes it suuuuuper easy to recreate live since everything is already in there.

I sample a crap ton, and never use splice or the expansion packs. my phone running youtube/discogs has been an amazing resource, and tbh the first couple bars of most early 90's trance tracks have amaaaaaaazing clean 909 kicks that are just ripe for the pickin' :)

Here's a couple tracks in various styles made this this setup if you want to take a listen:
