Hey guess what the MPC can't be a master and S1v4 can't be a slave that combo might work perfect lol S1v4 master the MPC.

I do my drums on the MPC live then export them as audio files. But l also can trigger from my LPD8 and make drums directly from Inpact. Now with the new Drum Sequencer in the rack for R11 is going to make drums easier in S1v4.

I hope you can get what you want to work.

It's probably compatible, I just left it alone.
What I do is do my drums in the Live and bring them into S1 when I am finished. Because of the Export functions on the Live which I love. S1 is dope! I love 4.5.1 that joint is crazy!

Try these vids...
You bring your drums into S1 as audio or MIDI? I think you can export either from the MPC.
But yeah, I can't imagine the Live not being able to control Impact XT. Just wanted to make sure you hadn't come across any specific issues as I use the Live to play all drums regardless of sound source.

Yeah, I'm liking what I see from S1. But it does have one issue I'm trying to get away from Logic for. Can't be slaved. I did find some info on syncing the MPC, but S1 has to be the master. Damn! It does seem a bit more straight forward syncing & using an external sequencer though.

And thanks for the vids!

Well bro l will still update but l only use the Live for drums. Im not doing full tracks in it.
For Akai their pattern show lack of coming up without glitches.

Dmcghee bro my path was already leaving Akai years ago l tried to get back on the Akai roaxd and fail. The software is not enhancing my workflow . lt won't open my VSTi s. So l wont get angry . l have moved on.
My studio is based on my computer Reason and S1v4
