Can MPC VST have parameters automated from the DAW?

Hi folks,

I'm using the MPC VST in Cubase.

I'm not using the MPC sequencer, i want to trigger it from MIDI sequences on Cubase tracks, for better song arranging possibilities.

One thing that doesn't seem possible is recording any parameter change in the MPC plugin (like a filter sweep for example) into the DAW. Because it doesn't expose those controls for binding to the DAW.

I'm guessing this just ain't possible because it would create conflicts with the internal automation, but i'm hoping you guys will surprise me otherwise!

It’s not totally intuitive, but you can use midi CC in your DAW to control the Q-links in the MPC software. Not sure how to do elaborate mappings, but play with that.

You may need to enable midi mappings within the MPC software and assign certain CCs too.

Good luck.

Thanks man!

So just to be 100% clear, you're saying that the DAW can send CCs to the qlinks of the MPC VST plugin, and the parameter that is mapped to that qlink will change accordingly?

So in that scenario, if you want to create the automation with a hardware knob, you can’t actually use the MPC qlink hardware knob to create the automation , you need to use a third party midi knob that sends midi into your DAW, and the DAW passes that through to the MPC plugin?

Cheers and sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick!

OK, in case anyone else gets stuck doing this, the MIDI mapping stuff his hidden in a button in the bottom right (MIDI learn button)

You know that is in the manual right? Just like the section that describes where you can fix your Cubase issue too.
