Operation (Plugin)
When using the MPC Essentials software as a VST or AU plugin, its features and functions are very
similar to its operation as your host software but with some notable differences discussed in this chapter.
Important: For information about using the MPC Essentials software as a standalone software program,
please see the Operation (Software) chapter.
Note: To learn how to load and use an instrument plugin in your host application, please refer to the
corresponding chapter of your host application's manual.
Differences Between the MPC Essentials Plugin and Standalone Application
Saving: Make sure to save your work in the MPC software plugin as well as saving all of your work in
your host application. For ease of use, we recommend saving your host application projects and their
associated MPC projects in the same folder.
Software Menus: The MPC plugin doesn't offer a top menu like in the standalone application.
The menu button is located to the left of the Main Mode tab.
Audio Input and Output: Your audio input and output are set in your host application rather than in MPC
Essentials. MPC Essentials's Preferences will not have the Audio tab.
MIDI Ports: All MIDI Out ports will be assigned to your digital audio workstation (DAW). In MPC
Essentials's Preferences, the MIDI tab will display DAW as the only available MIDI Out port assignment.
DAW Projects Folder: In MPC Essentials's Preferences, the Plugin tab will let you select a DAW
Projects Folder location.
Tempo and Sync: The MPC plugin is automatically synchronized to the tempo of your host application.
MPC Essentials's Preferences will not have the Sync tab, and the BPM in the Transport Section will be
grayed out.
Playback Controls: The Stop, Play, and Play Start buttons will be grayed out. You must start and stop
playback using your host application's playback controls.
