Sup fellaz.
All this years I'm work with Cubase and now try to walk hardware route.
I have my mpc1000 and roland sx404.

So problem is: how I can export my complete tracks from Cubase to this toys for playing it live?
I mean, whats about EQ, sidechains and other works that already done in Cub ?

You said it.

Simple but effective.

Export from Cubase, import to toys.

yep. but cubase eat too much memory for live shows. beware of crushes and sound trashing.

and in common, how you gust recreate songs in this case?

most of us do it the other way around really

from hardware to your daw.

that way you can separate each track and reconstruct it very easily inside the daw of your choice.

is there a specific reason why you want to go from daw to hardware??

If I was doing this I would forget about recreating the song inside the MPC based on how it's put together in Cubase.

Treat it like a finished record and sample the hell out of it. Build some programs from your existing track. Then resequence it so you can recreate the song on the fly by playing the samples.

There's no magic button to do this other than Record on the samplers. Don't over complicate things by thinking about it too hard, just do it.

Best of luck!

....there's absolutely no benefit in doin' so....

and if you can't let go, do yourself a favour and don't start to try to recreate your daw projects one by one....

pick your most important sounds to sample them and start fooling around from scratch...and see where it takes you....

transferring a whole song from a daw with all it's single tracks completly...!?
sorry, but no way....at least without loosing all fun, gettin' crazy and swapping a complete reboot after each track....
