Cosmic Digs

Has anyone had much success using the MPC-X/Live hardware and MPC 2.X software running as a VST in Cakewalk? Here is my experience. 1. I can get the MPC VST to open; and you can use it to put together sequences; however, you cannot live sample with it (MPC inputs seem to be crippled) and you cannot even load previous projects on the MPC without Cakewalk hanging and crashing (if you make a new project in cakewalk with the mpc, those projects will load, oddly - so it is possible)
