OK Ima try that. I will let you know what happens. Now am I putting the USB in the laptop to do this? And do I have to take out the blue cord? Cause I am looking at how would I connect the Live to the laptop so it can update? Or are you telling me to put this in the MPC and do the Update? That would be dope if I could do it like that without the blue cord.

Live is nice. Just it doesn’t have the program matrix and other features of the 4K. But it shines in other areas.

Been loving the ONE as my very first MPC. Using it in conjunction with the iPad to do everything I make and am really enjoying the pairing.

Here are a few of my latest projects...many thanks for watching:

This is really nice - right up my alley. Far better than most of the typical stuff out there. Nice work! Ironically I had viewed your iPad setup video a few days ago and "liked" the video. Nice of you to drop in to these parts!

Many many thanks! Glad you enjoyed the track. Been a blast getting these two platforms working together.

FWIW, I am trying to be more active on the Forum, but I'm encountering a lot of SQL errors when trying to post content....so I have to hunt around to find an appropriate thread to reply on :)

Glad this one was around.

Cheers!

Thanks for giving them a viewing. Everything is mixed/mastered on the iPad inside of AUM. I'm using the MPC One as a sequencer host and instrument to accompany the synths on the iPad.
