Step 2: Choose & Configure Your Plugin Patch

The project loads up a 100 BPM sequence called 5 Semitone 1v and sets track 1 as a ‘ Plugin‘ track (currently no plugin assigned): Enter the folder ‘ Standalone Instrument Plugins Workflow‘ and double tap the ‘ Standalone Plugins.xpj‘ project file (make sure ‘ NO FILTER’ or PROJECTS is selected at the top of the BROWSER): Go to the BROWSER and navigate to the location on your computer where you extracted the workflow files. Please note that to keep this tutorial as compact as possible I do assume you already have a working knowledge of the MPC X or MPC Live if you need more help understanding topics such as multisampling, keygroup editing, sample editing and sequencing then check out my hands-on tutorial guide, ‘ The MPC X & MPC Live Bible‘. Now this workflow can be completed entirely in the computer GUI (there’s one task that has to be done in the GUI) but on the whole I’m going to explain the workflow from the hardware/touchscreen UI as that’s what most MPC X and MPC Live users are used to. Go to MENU and hit the ‘MPC’ chip near the top right of the screen and select CONTROLLER MODE.

Desktop).įire up MPC Software 2.x and connect your MPC Live/X via USB to your computer and turn on your MPC.

The first thing to do is download the workflow files and extracted the contents to any location on your computer (e.g. This 10 step workflow handles the bulk of the work for you, it even renames all your samples and automatically maps them to a fully working keygroup program! Before You Start

So I thought it would be pretty cool to come up with a really quick ‘plugin cloning’ solution for the MPC X/MPC Live community, so here it is, the ‘VST-2-MPC’ workflow that will allow anyone to clone their favourite plugin patch using nothing but an MPC X/MPC Live in under 3 minutes! We all know that we can’t use plugin instruments while in ‘standalone mode’ in our MPC X & MPC Live, but we can quite literally ‘clone’ those plugins by multisampling them and creating native MPC ‘keygroup’ instruments from those samples. This has been my most requested MPC X & MPC Live tutorial ever – how to create ‘standalone’ MPC instruments from your favourite VST plugins! If I just want to sit down and play, I open Solo, select Superior 2, and all of my Superior 2 and EZDrummer2 kits are available to just play.Update: Since the release of firmware 2.3, the workflow described in this tutorial is now superseded by my new Autosampler tutorial! You can also add other effects plugins to your kit. You can load up an mp3 on a track and run Superior on another and jam along, or record both together. This option would give you recording, which you say you don't want, but will eventually, trust me.lol. You could also run Superior Drummer2 in a host such as Reaper, and have the most options available to you. Solo is a stripped down host that has no bells and whistles like a true DAW, but works very well. Superior doesn't have a true stand alone mode. Toontrack Solo is just a small host to run Superior Drummer 2 in an almost stand-alone mode. Midi remapping, X-Drums from all EZX and SDX programs in any kit. Superior Drummer2 in host (Toontrack solo?) - Have access to running both EZdrummer EZX & Superior SDX programs. EZDrummer in host (Reaper, or any other one) - Same as above, but can run additional VST, backing track, additional effects, can record. EZDrummer2 as standalone - Very Basic options available. So instead of running all of those things separately, you load them all up within the host and the host uses the ASIO driver.

The ASIO driver can only run one program at a time unless you set up an ASIO multi-client server, which I won't even get into here. The reason you would play through a host such as Reaper would be for recording, obviously, but also should you want to run any other VST simultaneously, or some sort of backing track, or add an effect plug-in to your drums that isn't available to you within EZDrummer. You can also reassign any and all of the midi notes that you choose with the midi "Learn" function. Doing this, you can add kit pieces called X-Drums. To do any of these things, you run EZdrummer2 within Superior2 in standalone mode (or through a host). My kit's midi layout does not match exactly the way Toontrack has laid out their product. For me, using EZdrummer2 in standalone isn't even an option.
