THE METRONOME HACK:
I get asked this a lot: No, you cannot send the metronome out the headphone output on the MPC One, however, you could create an audible click track using one of the CV outputs by automating a LOW voltage level every beat - and just route that as audio to your headphones. Get cheap headphones with level control in case you send it too much voltage by accident and you ruin them... be careful with your ears on this too and please don't hold me responsible if you damage either ears or gear...
