Hello, I am wondering if I am missing something about the 2.0 beta MPC software and I hope someone can give me some answers?

Question 1: How do you copy or duplicate a sequence (this can't be a post beta function)?

Question 2: Non-Air (virtual instruments), how do you get the gui to pop up? Anyone have spectrasonics omnisphere, Nexus or Trillian working?

Question 3: What is the procedure required to have the MPC 2.0 software to scroll through virtual instrument presets? Is this not completed as of yet?

Question 4: Are there any videos or forum post available that address these questions?

I'm not at my live right now, and haven't used the software much but everything you want IS there. The copy track is in the same spot as standalone, you can get to it from the main program screen. Maybe that little edit icon, I think.
I popped up FM 8 the instruments are there go into options and scan for vst it will display the folder they are in, if I recall right you need to set up a plugin track. In terms of presets the GUI pops up just like ableton and you can scroll through there.
It confusing at first but I know I have done all of what you're asking.

Peace if you're in your software 2.0.3 and in controller mode this is how you copy a sequence.

1. Hit the "Main" button. In that screen go up to your right on the sequence line and you will see an "A[". Look dow below that A anf youe will see a pencil, tap on it.

2. In the new scree you will ser EDIT and nelow it COPY. Below copy the word "Sequence will be there. Tap on Sequence and a copy sequence screen pops up.

3. Go to "Over Contents of" Here you can take the jog wheel and choose which sequence you want to copy to. Hit do it when you have figured which sequence you want copied.

I have Omni 2 and Nexus but didnt put it on my laptop. In order to get Nexus up and running you have to scan to get those softwares
