Hey all,

Installed Akai MPC2, and MPC Beats via MPC Installer app no matter if trying to drag n drop as an instrument or load manually the instrument won’t load.  This is same for MPC2, or MPC Beats (VST3, VST2, or AU).

No issue running either as standalone app.

Anyone else having this issue.

I’m having the same problem. MPC Software worked fine in S1 6.5 but On Mac Ventura. When I drag and drop it over to the arrange view nothing happens. Works fine in controller mode but not as VST or AU in S1.

E-mailed them in January...they said its with development...but a lot of students NEED their paid for DAWs fixed tin a timely manner! Some are forced to use other DAWs or roll-back to Studio One versions with less features but then you cant open SO6 projects in SO5! at this point your costing students, working professionals, etc. lots of time and money

MPC standalone works but AU and VST don't work in studio one 6 on latest Ventura. Works fine in Studio One 5 and every other DAW.  Contacted presonus and the issue is still unsolved.

Still a problem on 6.6. Just trying the demo now not the best first impression.

Scan the location of the mpc standalone daw as a plugin in your locations in studio one and then when yopen mpc as an instrument in the daw, dont not minimize the mpc plugin otherwise it will crash. Best solution I have for those of you who use both like I do. Also note im on the plus membership. Note you can also use usb and create channel in ascending order assign to the 32 in and 32 out digitally with the mpc and track it back and forth
