Can the midi from Beats be tranferred to reaper as midi? are any of the sounds vst's ?** A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! Thanks for your question. Yes! MPC Beats can operate as a VST instrument within Reaper so you can still access all the supplied content within your favourite DAW. I hope this helps and If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us directly - amzsupport@inmusicbrands.com Thanks, Krishan **Q: Does this work with cubase 12 without having to manually map everything?** A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! No - MPK Mini Plus operates as a generic MIDI controller with Cubase. Cubase 12 specifically, has introduced something called 'MIDI Remote' which contains mapping for many MIDI Controllers and the ability to manually map controllers with ease. The included software MPC Beats, can launched as its own plugin within Cubase as a VST. This software contains pre-mapping for MPK Mini Plus.
