    Thanks bruh!! We learn new things everyday!! See I was doing this BUT I was not opening up the MPC software to make sure it was in there correctly first!! You made sure it was there, then TRANSFERRED the kit from there to the Retro!!! I was bypassing the software altogether!! It would show up on the SD card, but you couldn't SEE it when you hit EXPANSIONS on the Retro!! See, see, 😆🤣😂!! You learn something new everyday!! Thanks bruh!!👊🏾💯

    Thanks bro! Yeah if it’s mpc one u don’t need to put the mpc in controller mode. Just place the sd card in your computer, andexport the expansion pack to your sd card. It worked for me. Thanks hommie!

    Bruh! Thank you thank you for this video. I bought a bunch of MPC software during a recent sale and thought I wasted all my money because I couldn't figure out how to install it on my Live II. I had given up and figured I was just dumb and bought the wrong version. This is so lit boss, I'm super stoked to try this out on my MPC.

    Thank You!!! I was trying to figure out out how to use the sounds as a module instead of downloading the entire library to my SD Card... I just find it easier to access them!!! I just bought the mpc one after not having ANYTHING since the mpc 2000...lol.. So this is JETSON stuff to me!!! LoL

  • @beatrocka5

    Exporting the expansions had me stuck, but this vid helped me out. I'd installed a drive inside of the MPC Live II, so I didn't need to use an SD card; this is the part that was confusing. When selecting which drive to export to, just select the proper one. I've still got some things to sort out, but again this helped out a lot. Thanks.

    Isn't it a better idea to install your expansions on an external or separate drive than your system drive? Does the software allow that cus that's basically what happens with the standalone units. I haven't seen anyone talk about install on separate drive. kinda like how native instruments allow you to install the plug ins anywhere you choose, especially if you happen to have a ton of expansions.
