MP MIDI

Windows

2 of 6

Before you start

Quit Cubase/Nuendo - Install loopMIDI

Run the installer first

​

The Installer will install:

​

  1. The latest version of MP MIDI Standalone app and VST3 Plugin.
  2. The Preset and Images for the Control Surface.
  3. The MIDI Remote Scripts for Cubase and Nuendo.

Windows need virtual MIDI ports to

communicate with the control surface.

​

We recommend loopMIDI which is a free utility software. �There are others as well like LoopBe30.

Create 2 virtual MIDI Ports:

FROM DAW & TO DAW

Run the MP MIDI standalone app before you start Cubase/Nuendo

NOTE

MP MIDI VST3 plugin vs Standalone app

You can run either the VST3 plugin or the MP MIDI standalone app (do not run both at the same time)

As you may have noticed, when you click outside Cubase (finder, file explorer etc) it hides all the Cubase windows except the project window.

When using the MP MIDI VST3 plugin, it is part of Cubase so it does not hide any Cubase windows. Therefore, it may suit your workflow better to use the MP MIDI VST3 plugin instead of the standalone app.

The plugin can be added on any track as it allows audio to pass through. Only one instance of the MP MIDI plugin should be used.
