Standalone vs. Controller Mode

MPC X, MPC Live, MPC Live II, MPC One, MPC Key 61, and MPC Key 37 can function in two ways: Standalone Mode

and Controller Mode. (MPC Studio and MPC Touch already operate as a controller only.)

To enter Standalone Mode, do one of the following:

• If MPC X/Live/Live II/One/Key 61/Key 37 is not

connected to a computer, simply press the power

switch to power it on.

• If MPC X/Live/Live II/One/Key 61/Key 37 is

connected to your computer and you want to keep

your MPC software open, press Menu to enter the

Menu, and then tap the monitor/cable icon in the

upper-right corner. When the Switch to Standalone

Mode window appears, tap Standalone to

continue. Your project will remain open on your

computer, and you can continue to work on it

independently from the project shown on the

screen. (If you tap Cancel, you can continue using

your MPC hardware in Controller Mode.)

• If MPC X/Live/Live II/One/Key 61/Key 37 is

connected to your computer and you want to close

the MPC software, simply close the MPC software

on your computer. When Looking for computer

appears on your MPC hardware’s touchscreen, tap

Standalone. If the Restart as Standalone window

appears, tap Yes to continue. (If you tap Cancel,

you can reopen your MPC software and continue

using your MPC hardware in Controller Mode.)

In Standalone Mode:

• An MPC chip icon will appear in the upper-right

corner.

• The MPC hardware is not communicating with a

computer over a USB connection.

• Any files (projects, samples, etc.) that you save or

load are in the internal hard drive on your MPC

X/Live/Live II/One/Key 61/Key 37, or a connected

USB drive or SD card.

• Plugin programs are disabled.
