Hi guys. Nice to meet you all.
Bought your MPC Bible and I'm very happy with the detail it goes into.
Ive had my MPCX since Monday and am getting along very well. Im a 20 year veteran of many incarnations of Logic and know what I want from the machine.
What I need to know is, how, if its possible to transmit a project made in standalone onto the MPX software on my Mac? I would really like to be able to use my AU plugins on tracks now ive got a song I wish to take to the final level.
Is it possible and if not how should I be proceeding.

There will be more questions im certain as the weeks pass.
Thanks in advance
Lee

Hi, Save the project to an attached disk, e.g. usb disk, SD card etc, don't save to the internal factory disk. Connect your MPC via USB to your Mac and enter controller mode - your MPC X disk should appear in Finder. In the MPC Software, load the project from the MPC X disk. Just remember that after saving the project in controller mode, some features will not transfer back to standalone, e.g. plugins and submixes

Save your project in a folder. You can save anywhere except the factory internal drive.

Make sure you have the live drivers installed on your Mac. When you connect the mpc via usb to your Mac. Press menu and hit the microchip icon on the mpc to send it into controller mode.

You will have access to any current connect usb stick, as card on user installed internal drive.

Copy your project to your Mac and open it in your software.

Tutor beat me to it, how about a Black Friday preview sale?
