What's next for Elektron? (Part 1)

I don’t know whether it even works with newer Aira devices like the S-1.

It does.

@Scyphozoa

Now I don’t think Roland did anything more than bringing in stereo audio over those ports - so it was more of a convenience/cable management thing (which is nice in itself).

It carries sync & transport also – the USB devices connected will start/stop and play back at the MX-1 tempo.

@DavidL

If i’m not mistaken this is connected the other way around, with the MPC as host for the MX-1.

Yep, pretty sure the Akai boxes got firmware updates that let them stream multichannel audio from the MX-1.
