Hello All,

first time posting here so please forgive me if this comes across as a noobie question.

I just purchased the live 2 retro version last week and am loving it so far but I have come across a potential workflow killer and was wondering if I am doing something wrong or if so, if someone has a workaround to the issue.

The issue I have is that I cannot seem to scroll through the presets of a loaded third-party VST synth in controller mode without having to access my laptop and change presets in the synth GUI. Massive workflow killer in my opinion but could it be something I am doing wrong? Is there a workaround to get the presets to show and be changed from the MPC directly?

Any help would be much appreciated.
