Using MPC as a Plugin
If you are using another digital audio workstation (DAW), you can use the MPC software as an
instrument plugin (VST, AU, RTAS, or AAX format) within your DAW, which will act as the host software.
The MPC plugin offers the same features and functionality as the standalone software version but with
some notable differences, which are discussed in the Operation > General Features > Differences
Between Plugin and Standalone Usage chapter.
Note: To learn how to load and use an instrument plugin in a host application, please refer to the
corresponding chapter of your host application’s manual.
