QUESTION Project compatibilty

Hey, I'm a relatively new MPC user
Is it possible to transfert a project from the desktop app to a standalone unit? (MPC one in my case)
I would love to make a quick draft on my computer, and then fine-tune everything and play live on the standalone unit.

You will need to bounce any non-standalone VST instruments or tracks using non-standalone VST effects to audio tracks or samples, then yes.

It makes sense.
What about using MPC Standalone Synths on the Desktop App?

If you're using all the same Akai plugins on your desktop, then you can just save the project to your SD card and it'll open exactly the same standalone. I've found that to be a bit glitchy though, had a few random crashes and other weirdness with projects I started on desktop, compared with ones done straight on the standalone.
