I need help. I have a Windows 10 PC Fresh install, trying to use the MODX M ESP 3.0. My goal is to take this plus a USB MIDI Controller and Audio Interface and have a rig I can travel with easily (I would just pack the audio interface and laptop, I have a USB MIDI controller at my destination)

 

Seems like the MODX M ESP does not run in standalone mode so I went ahead and installed a DAW, Ableton Live 12 Lite, with the license my Audio Interface came with.

So I installed Windows, then the ESP, then Ableton. Ableton does not see any Plug Ins. (I'm assuming thats where the MODX M ESP would show up)

 

Help?

 

Thank you!

Ableton works fine.  So you're set. 

 

MODX M comes with a license for Cubase so that is also an option for a DAW that would also work fine with your audio interface and may be easier to setup in terms of ESP working without as many setup steps.  No personal experience to know for sure, however.
