Question

Dearest S.1..I Just switched over from Ableton to Studio One 3 (Artist)

I want to TRACK OUT my songs from my MPC2000 thru midi into Studio One 3.....Normally i make the MPC2000 MASTER and Ableton SLAVE...This is not (yet?) possible in version 3 so Studio ONE is MASTER. How can i MAINTAIN as much as possible my MPC2000 SWINGS/GROOVES? I keep it's Studio One Quantise in default 16/th, and DISABLE it's smart Quantising...

When i record my tracks (kicks, snares, bass layers etcetc) into S.1 3, doest the DAW/program itself "re-quantising my grooves?"

Thanks for helping!

Thank you for contacting Presonus Technical Support. Sorry to hear about the recent issues you have been experiencing.

Studio One has to be the MIDI master clock, it can not be slaved to another device. Yes, disable Studio One quantizing when you bring the audio over.

You will need to check out this article for working with External MIDI devices, in particular creating a New Instrument: https://support.presonus.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001352966-Studio-One-3-How-Do-I-Setup-a-MIDI-Hardware-Keyboard-Synthesizer-in-Studio-One-3-

For specific workflows, I suggest searching/posting in the Akai, or Studio One community forums or YouTube for input from actual MPC users that may have done this.
