Must it remain installed on the computer in order the AU / VST plug-in to work with other programs or can I uninstall it after creating this plug-in?

like all programs it must be installed on your computer obviously to run...one of the best products I've ever bought for mixing...

No it has to stay installed. That way you can use it with the daw that you are using

If you don't use a program then its not going to work also if you do go to settings midi and a Q49 should be there and enable that.

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.

yes, it supports VST, RTAS and Audio Unit standards as well as stand alone. Logic and Main Stage support both VST and AU. This instrument will also work with Cubase, Digital Performer, Pro Tools and Ableton among others.

The sounds and vsts that come with this machine are not built into it. You have to load the mpc software on a computer to trigger the sounds. If u want stereo outs, you need the mpc renaissance which is the next step up from this one.

Depends on how useful you think the extra plug-ins would be. If you purchased those plug-ins separately it would cost you over $600. If you don't have a software sampler or SoundFont player it's not a bad move up. If you don't have a sonic maximizer or virtual guitar effects set then it's well worth it.

Hi: this license tool is for products like Vienna Symphonic Library, Arturia and Steinberg. Pro Tools requires an iLok. Now, if you have the iLok for Pro Tools, you can have this eLicenser for VSL, Arturia and others plugins and both can coexist and work really well. I have it working in Pro Tools 10 and 11.

No this is a midi controller. If you were to map a sample to a VST sampler, Reasons Kong, for example you could. It however stores no local sample data. You cant get away that cheap dog :(

You have to have a software program on your computer. If you have it then don't worry about buying a program. If you do need a software program then be sure it is compatible with the pedal.

It SHOULD work with any DAW host that supports VSTI's. Toontrack has a demo on their website to download and try. That'll give you some idea if it'll work for you or not.

Audacity is freeware, and works fine in windows 7, 10, xp. Great software but not necessary to buy.

Yes. This device will not produce sound without a program. However, it ships with a disk loaded with free software, and I found this quite enough to use it. If you already have something like Garage Band, ProTools, Ableton, or something similar, it will run with that as well. There are also some free programs available with a quick Google search.

It will not reduce latency. The only thing that will eliminate latency for VSTs is a dsp interface that uses the interface for processing of the VSTs instead of the cpu processing the VST. Universal audio has an amazing interface that does just that, the only problem you would run into is that you would have to use the universal audio VSTs (which cost a lot for the average consumer). Look into getting Vsts that use lower processing and are cheap if you can't afford universal audio. I recommend that you look up Steven slate. I give everything he has 5 stars because it doesn't require any processing and it's reasonably priced. It will not reduce latency.

It should. When I first plugged it in to my Windows 7 laptop and loaded the software, it was fine. But when I added it as the default ASIO audio device in my DAW (Studio One 2) there was a problem with Studio One opening it. So I wrote a note to the customer service person at Focusrite, and the next day I had a return email with an attached driver to try. I installed the driver and it worked perfectly. I highly recommend this unit. I depend on it for live performances and it has never let me down and it's good to know they have GREAT customer service to back you up.

I found it to be plug-and-play on both my win7 x64 desktop, and my win8 x64 laptop. By plug-and-play, I mean I just plugged it in, the OS found the drivers and installed them, and the unit looked just like any other sound card on the system. I never put the included disk into the CD/DVD drive on either system. When I direct sound playback to that card, it gets broadcast and I can receive it on the (separate) Creative SB receiver. Now there are some additional features that Creative includes in their software, and if that works or not, I cannot say, as I haven't tried it. But the basic functionality certainly works on Win 7 and 8. I found it to be plug-and-play on both my win7 x64 desktop, and my win8 x64 laptop.
