Lifesaver, thank you

Akai really needs a VST3 version as soon as possible. The VST and AU for MPC 2 and Beats do not work in Studio One, Bitwig, and sometimes Ableton on MAC. I have contacted Akai and Presonus about the problem and they both blame each other for the problem.

My mpc 2 software doesn’t work properly with FL studio after I upgraded to the latest version on FL 21. My mpc beats is working but I’m missing the amount of audio tracks and and my mpc plugins

[@middz--no.1]

I've been trying for weeks can't get working with Ableton 12

[@AnomieDomine]

But why? Just for mpc hardware integration?

[@RockawaySoundz718]

I love my mpc but after my mpc not being able to connect to a computer and talking to Akai numerous times from them saying drivers aren't installed, but yet there installed, to purchasing new usb cables ..my unit won't connect to a computer and now I have to send my mpc to service? And most likely will have to pay for that service is ludicrous! I'm super annoyed with Akai
