I'm doing the 7 day trial of the MPC2 software....trying to get my head around it, but even though I've used an MPCX for over a tear now, it's really cryptic an unintuitive.

Is there a manual I can download or good tutorials?

How did you all learn this software?

Use the MPC X in controller mode and look at the software while pressing buttons. It will help learn what to look for. Personally the software wasn't really designed to be used without an MPC. However it can be done, once you understand how they set it up.

Yeah, this is what I did... the software workflow can feel like a real head scratcher otherwise.

Yep, there is a manual: Click the Help menu, thereā€˜s quite some useful stuff there, among these the manuals. :lol:
