No GUI on some plugins

Hello, just started using MPC software and found an odd issue with some plugins where they don't show the GUI when loaded (drumsynth, tubesynth, bassline for example) whereas others do (the 809, hybrid).

Instead of the GUI, I get a list of adjustable bars.

Any ideas what's going on?

Cheers!

Try Program Edit.

Try Program Edit.

Excellent, thanks. Is there any way to undock the plugin?

I actually don‘t think so. Prog Edit is usually shown on the hardware screens, but I don‘t think ir‘s undockable. Sorry.

To pop out a GUI-capable VST, there's this little icon on the left:


If the icon doesn't work, it looks like the Program Edit mode (Ctrl + 3) is the only way to see the rendered front-end for the plugin.

OK, it works with instrument plugins but what about FX plugins?

There's no nice GUI for Air FX in the MPC Software, probably intended to, but just don't think they can be bothered TBH. It's been that way for over 2 years now.

Fancy GUI appears in controller mode.

That really put me off while I still used the MPC Renaissance. I always kind of liked AIR plugins for not being a „performance hog“, but the lack of a proper GUI really put me off.

That changed with the Live II, but as soon as I track out my projects, I occasionally tend to replace them with other plugins.
