Does anyone know if this software can be used within the Akai MPC Ren Software as VSTs? And compared to Komplete 10 how does it stack up against?

Can't answer the first question but it is a standard VST so any proper VST container should be able to run it. As for the latter, it's apples and oranges. I have both. Komplete has several great synths, samplers, and effects. Omni is a power synth (which also has a bucket load of samples too but really for sound manipulation). Omni doesn't have drum machines or the like, but has an incredible depth and flexibility in sound design and sequencing. The arpeggiator is amazing. So it depends what you need, but I love them both.

Im not sure about sound card stuff but I do have both a akai keyboard and a NI Maschine micro but if this helps I will explain what I am doing! I run a new macbook pro to komplete kontrol 6 then 2 midi cords for in and out to a novation bass station 2 then and the other side of my mac I run machine micro usb or a akai synth station 49! Thats all I'm can tell you! Im hoping the new akai advance comes out soon because once I get that I can run it in midi to connect more stuff! I use the iPad air for a mixer and other functions with logic remote and I use maschine and Logic Pro X! Hope that helps you or others respond! Im going to have to study up on soundcards now!

Yes. it will work as a midi controller just fine. I know that novation product work really well with ableton but will work fine with logic, pro tools etc.

Hi. I really don't know since I don't use those programs but it is fully compatible with Ableton Live. You can map different knobs to control parameters in Ableton. It should work with the software you mention I think

I use ableton and the mapping is all messed up, you need to use the studio software for full use of the samples, and in order to use it in any other DAW you need to run the studio software as a plugin which makes arrangement confusing and difficult. Maschine is well worth the price difference and you will never regret it

If you saved your music files from the Maschine environment as Maschine project files, then yes. However if you used Maschine as a VST plugin in a Digital audio workstation environment like Ableton Live, Pro Tools, or Logic, then no, you will not be able read your Maschine files from within your DAW. But you can always open your Maschine plugin from your DAW and save your Maschine arrangement as a Maschine project file. Then you'll be able to load it later into the new MK2.

yes you can manipulate samples or beats !!!.... and yes you can chop or cut the beat/sample as well.... and the mpc 2000Xl is older and there is a lot of different updates that you can do on this product.... basicly anything you can do one there, you can do on here and a lot more

Yes, MPD18 is compatible with FL Studio like with any other digital audio workstation. It works with any program via midi.

This is the FULL version of Komplete, not an upgrade price. Komplete Ultimate (which contains more virtual instruments) is a higher price.

I also owned Cubase LE. This upgrade worked out for me. I was worried about the learning curve of going from LE up to 7.5 but it wasn't that hard to adjust. The upgrade will give you way more features. I would double check with Steinberg to make sure it will work but can't see any reason why it wouldn't.

If used with the Akai EIE, or some other external interface expander, yes. I use the Akai EIE Pro combined with Ableton Live......so so awesome.

This does not have a built in audo interface within the hardware like the MPC Renaissance, so you will be unable to hook up a record player for example into the MPC Studio and sample directly from it. You can however sample through the MPC software and use the MPC Studio as a controller to chop and manipulate the samples as you please, however. Personally, i use a program called "Soundflower" which allows you to sample audio coming directly into you computer (from sources like youtube, your own music library, etc.), and then I manipulate the sample using the MPC Software and the MPC Studio in conjunction with each other.

The unit is powered through usb. Depending on what software you're using, it may have presets built in already without needing software. I'm sure Akai has the drivers /software online for download also. Hope that helps! Oh, and you can program your DAW to have it do what ever you want.

I use it with Wind 7 and it works great!!!! the USB interface is universal, and the effects it comes with work with any program that uses the VST protocol.

Hello Paul. I was requested to provide you with an answer; however, actually I haven't yet used the software. Also, I do not input music using keyboards, but rather directly through the sequencer "step mode". Apologies for not being able to help, but I had to at least respond to the request. Good luck anyway.

I have ableton and cubase and it works almost seamlessly with them. The only negative criticism is of myself for not getting the 4i4 or better because of the lack of the midi-in on the 2i2 ( the higher input models have midi ins). But that oversight wasy own because I said,'I'll never need it....' And behold, my keyboard without midi-control capability because I didn't spend the few extra. But the quality is stellar. If they continue to make these this well I will continue to buy them! -Ck
