MPC in controller mode (VST plugin) won't send MIDI to DAW.

Hi folks,

I'm running the MPC VST plugin inside Cubase.

Everything seems to work apart from the following:

When i hit a pad on the MPC (which is in controller mode of course), no MIDI registers as coming into Cubase.

These are some of the settings i believe i set correctly:

MPC plugin > prefs > hardware > record / overdub > to Host DAW.

MIDI track in MPC set to "DAW" in the "MIDI OUTPUT" setting.

I installed the extra midi driver that AKAI told me i needed.

I've created a MIDI track in Cubase with "all" selected as input.

But anyway, i can see in Cubase's MIDI monitor meter that no MIDI is coming into Cubase when i hit a hardware pad.

Anyone have an idea what i might need to do / change to get the MPC pads to send MIDI to my DAW?

And am i right in thinking that only a MIDI track in the MPC will send out MIDI? In another thread someone told me that drum tracks will also output MIDI, but i'm doubting this because only a MIDI track has a "MIDI OUTPUT" setting you can choose.

Thanks!

Ok, to answer my own question, you need to be in "MIDI CONTROL" mode for the DAW to receive midi from the MPC hardware pads and knobs, right?

This is just nuts, because when you're in midi control mode, you can't tweak the Q-links (to adjust the mapped parameters) and you can't in any way tweak any sounds or settings!

Cubase user also and starting to use the plugin again after many years in my DAW.. anyone know if the mpc plugin can host Cubase?
