MPC Renaissance midi control mode problem.

What im trying to do is use the mpc renaissance opened in standalone in midi control mode to control mappable parameters with the q links such as eq in my daw cubase. Im setting up cubase to recieve midi from the mpc public output but it isn't sending anything. Haven't updated firmware for renaissance yet from 1.0 could that be problem. Any help greatly appreciated

Get everything up to date first and come back if it's still not working.

Yea i knew sooner or later not updating firmware might catch up with me. Gave up trying to update on 2011 imac running el capitan months ago.

Now im wondering if this is even possible using the software in standalone and not as plug in

Okay. So i basically repeated the the firmware update over and over like 20 times and i finally got the update to work . And guess what that was exactly what i needed for the midi control mode to work properly. Hope this helps someone else.
