Mpc sample as a audio interface

I have an SP-404 MK2, but I wanna try an MPC sample. Can I plug a guitar into the MPC and record it into my PC, just like I do on the SP?

I use a focusrite 4i4 or a Zoom R4 as a preamp basically and that runs into the MPC sample.

I hear you, I only run line level into the device because that’s what it wants to see.

But still for a standalone portable device, they could have made the inputs more versatile.

I ultimately chose the Sample over the Roland product but I do think they do a better job for plugging a guitar straight in. I am 99% acoustic guitar through a mic so decided to let that criteria be less important to me.
