    You can actually use the MPC Live in controller mode to control the MPC VST inside Ableton and still use transport controls. I think that that is actually the most useful way to do it with the biggest flexibility and without any sync or timing problems. Install the Akai internal Midi drivers and in Abletons MIDI settings choose Advance from the dropdown list and then MPC Live public in the other two windows. Last thing you gotta make sure that inside the MPC VST plugin in the Hardware settings make sure to choose the Record Overdub sends commands to MPC Plugin and NOT to Host DAW. I know, it sounds confusing but it works that way. Cheers

    Hi, Noob here!
    MPC X SE, MPK249, Toshiba Satellite with WIN 10, Abelton Live 12 Lite. Not seeing how/where to install MPC Plug-in in Live 12. MPCX Menu does not have a Live 12 icon. MPK is connected to MPCX via USB and Midi in and out cables but I think the USB is active.
    Keyboard and MPCX communicate fine. Toshiba and MPCX same. Live 12 sees keyboard as MPK249. Keyboard output is set to the MPCX. Abelton shows Toshiba speakers as only output.
    HELP PLEASE!

I just ordered the USB to Midi cable so I can't wait to try this out.

    Verry clear video! I have 2 questions :
    _ In controler mode, its still the MPC Live that does all the audio processing ? (not the computer/daw) (processing : sample playback, fx, filter...)
    _ In term of daw integration, Is there things you can only do via USB , and not via classic Midi din ? (I know no audio transfert)
    id like to use the MPC Live as a slave from the DAW, all the midi sequences would be done on Cubase but the edition of the MPC with the VST software.
    thank you!

    • @TUBEDIGGA
      @TUBEDIGGA  4 роки тому

      1Life You can’t specifically send midi from a track that’s hosting drum program, jus midi tracks. A possible workaround would be to use the new feature in 2.8 where you can trigger one track with another. Check my 2.8 update video and give it a go. Hopefully the destination track (a midi track) will mirror the behaviour of the drum track.

      @@TUBEDIGGA Thanks for the pointers! I was able to forward the midi from the drum track to the midi track (after watching your video, thanks!), and I was able to input midi using the MPC pads into my DAW. Unfortunately this created a midi loop when trying to record a second midi track in my DAW, or when trying to overdub midi notes. Can't say I didn't try :D I'll just stick to using a midi keyboard for inputing midi in to my DAW as this works perfectly. The only downside is that I can't use the MPC pads for input. I'm only using midi because I love using Session View in Ableton. Thanks again for the help! If you have any more ideas of what might work, please send them my way!

      I was wondering, in controller mode, do all the buttons on the MPC send MIDI. If so, it shouldn't be too hard to make a max device that will relay that data to Ableton and assign it to the Ableton's transport. Max can host VST as well so you could have Max load the MPC-plugin which can intercept the MIDI and send it to live. That way you'd only need one device. Just a thought.

    I'm still trying to get this to work. I can open the MPC vst in live, but no connections after that. I love the MPC series and am most familiar with them. I did get the MPC live last year. I have more fun making beats on it than looking solely at a large computer screen. I was stoked on this as way to use both abelton live and the mpc live together in a way. I can't get them to communicate though. And even if I did it's only midi, is there a way to bring up record songs via the mpc live and interact with it on abelton live in a way similar to whats shown using only midi? I also have an old MPD 32 and it syncs up with ablelton okay, but I can't use the record, start and stop buttons on it. I'm taking a class on abelton live now and dig it, but again, looking at that screen for too long isn't for me. Although abelton can do amazing things. At this point I'll keep my MPC side separate and just record into abelton for automation and tweaks. I'll keep trying to get the mix (iconnect) to merge them both. Anything helps, thanks!!!

    I really appreciate this video I just have a question. What if most of the sounds I use are in an internal HD in my Live. Connecting it as a controller puts the sounds visible on my Mac. Now that I’m thinking about it, StandAlone should work similarly since the HD is in the MPC regardless. I’m only asking because my Mac picks up the HD only in controller mode (obviously) but is it better to stay in standalone alone and just use my MPC Live as another “computer” essentially. If that makes sense... sorry everyone

      Hans Pereira If your sound card has a Midi in port then yes, mpc midi out to sound card midi in. And if the sound card itself is then connected via usb anyway, then it’s essentially the same thing. Basically as long as your computer or whatever device is attached to it has a dedicated midi in port it should work.

      There’s several settings you need to check which I don’t have time to go into detail about here. You may also be using the wrong cable at the 5 pin midi end of the interface. For example my one has MIDI IN printed on the white cable which comes from the MPC output - which means midi being sent out from MPC to Ableton. It would make more sense to be labelled midi out.

      Reset your USB ports maybe? When it comes to computers it could be many different things. If you’re all up to date with the software/drivers/firmware and have checked the cables etc it’s most likely an issue with your computer.

    Good stuff! Can u do a video on best workflow for transferring songs from Ableton to MPC for portability and live performances including vocal backing tracks? Like I think this video will get me going in the right direction but I’m particularly looking for good workflow to import the VST and vocal audio back into MPC. I’m imagining something like breaking my Ableton songs up as separate sequences and inserting markers in Ableton accordingly. I just got the MPC so most of my songs are entirely in Ableton at the moment but that will change over time if I can come up with easy workflow to build most of song in MPC then do all the VST and automation work and vocals in Ableton then import back into MPC so I can just take that as a stand-alone backing track for my own live vocal and live synth playing with my Ultranova. Thanks in advance!!!!!!

      Thanks. Just trying this method out now and although I've got the preferences set up just like yours and EXT selected in Ableton, when I press play on the MPC, nothing happens. Also, apologies as I just got the MPC less than a week ago, under the plugin section where it says hybrid, none of my expansions, VSTs, or plugins are showing up there although the expansions are on the far right side.

  • @pepitochavez

    So for whatever reason my MPC 2.0 software is not recognizing any inputs on my audio interface (Scarlett 2i4) so I can't sample record in MPC 2.0 from external... so instead of actually trying to fix that issue I figure I'd work around it by recording external using Ableton and then migrate the audio sample into MPC.
    My question is... is this possible with one of the setups you described in this video? Would this require that you work Ableton into MPC? I.e. does this work with MPC worked into Ableton (as a plugin or otherwise)?
    I understand I can record in Ableton, export audio, and then import on the MPC side. I'd like to avoid those extra steps if possible.
    Thanks!

    • @TUBEDIGGA
      @TUBEDIGGA  6 років тому

      pepitochavez MPC 2.0 should recognise your interface - are all your USB drivers and the software all up to date? Personally this method is preferable anyway as I find Ableton easier to work with as far as software goes. You get access to Ableton, Mpc plugin and your MPC in standalone. You could either sample into your mpc hardware or Ableton.

    • @pepitochavez
      @pepitochavez 6 років тому

      gotcha! it recognizes my interface, just not the inputs... very weird problem seems to be unique to MPC. Ableton recognizes all inputs on my interface no problem. I'll have to dig a bit deeper. thanks!

      Dennis Daley You should have a folder in program files called ‘steinberg’, I think you may have to copy the mpc plug in into there or add the Mpc plugin folder to Abletons VST directory so it knows where to look and scan the plugins again. Make sure you use the x64 plugin folder.

      Matthew McLean Hi Matthew, thanks for your kind donation, I sent you an email yesterday to thank you. If the MPC is sending midi out to Ableton then Ableton should automatically receive the tempo (top left sync button set to EXT) - providing you have everything set up correctly in Ableton’s midi set up page and the MPC sync settings are correct.

      Okay.... SOOO.. Can I setup this midi on track one and then setup my expansion packs on track two and send both midi and audio data at the same time? What I really want is the midi notes and the audio with the ability to overdub and use the standalone version of the MPC. I tried opening track 2 but I lose midi data. Ive got my audio coming through my audio interface via 1/4 mogami cables but I lose midi data as soon as I switch to the second track and add a expansion drum set into my drum program.

    • @TUBEDIGGA
      @TUBEDIGGA  6 років тому +1

      Matthew McLean Matthew McLean Are you sure you’re not changing the midi program loaded on to the current track? This is a common mistake people make - they don’t change the track but swap the program or change the mode of the track instead. Otherwise there’s no reason why the midi would stop when switching tracks.

    • @MatthewMichaelMcLean
      @MatthewMichaelMcLean 6 років тому

      When I select a new track to track 2 the midi data is immediately lost. I might have to do a direct call/video with you at some point. I feel like it shouldn't stop sending midi data when I switch tracks.
      I've got a midi line and a direct cable line. I get midi notes when i am on the midi track and audio when on the drum program, but I want both at the same time.

    Hello matey. Just an idea for a vid (if you really need one lol)
    Because of the MPC live coming out I've purchased my first piece of hardware in about 10 years! It's also my first AKAI sampler as I've always had Korg etc.
    So I only have a really light understanding of how to use this thing.
    Because of your vids I'm getting there though and it's made me realise how much it can do and now it's even scarier.
    Anyway! even though I can use it/copy, I don't actually understand and know what things are if you get me? The terminology etc. It'd be kinda cool for someone to explain that in a simple easy to understand way. Even if it's just a rough sketch like "song, sequence, track, etc"
    Hope that makes sense. Niceone.

Remove any midi connections from Logic to the MPC midi input. Just slave Logic to the MPC. If you’re still having trouble then PM at tubedigga@gmail.com and we can arrange a 1 to 1 lesson
