Hi,
I'm trying to wrap my head around limitations and restrictions when using plugins (Bassline, TubeSynth, Electric) on MPC hardware - MPC One i particular, but I guess they're all the same? - while in standalone mode:
#1 There can be 8 plugin programs used, but is it per PROJECT or per SEQUENCE? You can't play 2 sequences at one, so I'd imagine the latter?
#2 If I'd bounce a plugin track to audio (or resample the instrument to Keygroup) can I somehow disable the track & program to free up the slot discussed in #1, so that I can always go back, edit and re-bounce?
#3 If on track #2 in one sequence I'm using TubeSynth but in next sequence it's Electric and I'd want to export stems, will track #2 stem consist audio from both plugins, or will it be "exploded" to separate audio tracks?
#4 When song mode switches between sequences, is it a "hard" cut or are the instruments & FX (delays, reverbs, etc.) from previous sequence allowed to ring out, assuming there's enough polyphony available?
#5 If I'd hook up a controller to MPC One and map say a knob to Bassline's LP Filter, is this mapping per-program, so if I'd re-use this program accross various sequences the mapping would carry over?
Thanks in advance for any help with those
