Studio One & MPC Touch programming

By Alex Casanova Thu Dec 24, 2015 2:53 pm
Hello All,

I recently purchased the Studio one 3 DAW and MPC Touch. I am a long time FL studio user so please forgive my ignorance if this is otherwise simple. What I'd like to do is use Studio One as my DAW with the mpc touch for drum programming.
I started a simple project to test out some workflows. I created an instrument track for the MPC Touch vst.
I did the following please advise if I've missed a step

    1. Created an instrument track in studio one
    2. added mpc vst to instrument track
    3. loaded a drum program
    4. armed the instrument track
    5. pressed record

Pressing pads on the MPC causes midi notes to be reflected in the mpc plugin however not in the studio one instrument track. Is this normal? Is there a better workflow for this. What if I want to eq different pads using the DAW? Am I restricted to the eq inside the mpc plugin as opposed to the host DAW

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Yes

Is there a better workflow for this.

There are other ways. Personally I got the Touch to use the sequencer. Better is subjective.

The MIDI menu hasn't been implemented yet.

What if I want to eq different pads using the DAW?

Routing on the Touch/Ren has the most flexible among the MPC range, You can route sounds to your daw.

Am I restricted to the eq inside the mpc plugin as opposed to the host DAW

No

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
