Any ideas what's going on here ? Would anyone have a link to MPC software 2.7.2 Windows Installer please ? 2.7 is not available through My Account on only versions 2.8 and 1.9.6.1. So the crux of the whole thing is I want to run MPC software as an instrument within Reaper. 2.7 did not have this issue, that's for certain. I prefer to use a standard account in Windows and do not wish to change my account to an Administrator account. Interestingly if I run Reaper or Tracktion Waveform as a user with Admin rights the instrument does indeed load up no problem. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and same problem reoccurs. MPC running as a DAW in 'main mode' standalone works fine. As long as your computer is connected to the internet, you will receive a notification about the 2.6 update and the option to download. Windows however, I have 2 DAW's Reaper and Tracktiom Waveform - when I load up the MPC VST instrument in either, the DAW just bombs out immediately. If you already have the MPC 2.0 software installed, the easiest way to download is to open the software. Mac update worked fine, no notable problems. I recently updated from 2.7 to 2.8 for both mac and windows. I have tried contacting support through the website twice and unfortunately nobody has got back to me.
