Hello guys, I'm new here in the forum and also brand new to the MPC family. Got my Live just a week ago and it's my first MPC. So far I am having a love hate relation ship with it, but that's for another story.
What I'd like to know is:
I want to integrate my Live into my studio setup which consists of hardware Synths and Ableton Live. I want to use the Live in controller mode because I need the better Warp Algorithms, so I use the MPC 2.0 VST Plugin. So far so good. Now in the settings of MPC 2.0 I found the option send Record/Overdub to MPC or to host DAW. I wanted to choose Host Daw and the plugin then promted me to install the Internal Midi driver, which I did.
Now choosing the internal midi driver in Abletons Midi settings didn't yield any results. The transport control for the MPC also would't work to control Ableton.
After endless tinkering around with different Midi settings in Ableton I found I could make the transport controls work by choosing the MPC Live Public option in Ableton Midi setting and choosing send record/overdub to MPC software.... This way it works, but I don't think it's the intended way to do it.
Neither am I using the option to send record/overdub to host DAW, nore am I making any use of the Internal Midi driver I had to install.
Can anyone tell me the correct way to set this up? Could't find any useful manuals from Akai, nore any setup guides online.
Thanks for your help guys :)
