Every time I go to do something that seems so simple, Akai seem to hide the feature.

I want to simply take my MPC Standalone and play it with all the instruments that I see in Studio X.

Reason is - I need to route the output direct to my Boss RC505 MK II which only takes line input.

As soon as I connect to the desktop the line output from mpc is rerouted through to the DAW.

So I disconnect the desktop (out of controller mode I mean) and go standalone. Now i dont see all the instruments listed.

I know I keep repeating myself, but this software/ machine HAS NOT BEEN THOUGHT THROUGH properly.

So I spent 40 minutes copying over the synthesizers into that same directory on the MPC card, and do they appear on the mpc one standalone - answer is no

What the ?

I'm not sure what you are trying to do.

If you are trying to use 3rd party plugins in MPC Standalone (the ones that are not officially made by AKAI/Air and not explicitly supported by the MPC), then it's simply impossible.

What synthesizers, what instruments, gimme a name, a brand.
Also, mpc_fan_2022 is right.
