I don't know why they made installing the downloaded expansions so needlessly convoluted, but this helped me get through it easily. Thanks so much!
Glad I could help!
Just got the mpc and I almost banged my head over this lol novation was much simpler
💯
@@MatthewStratton can i use this same method for mpc live 2?
Even for nerds it’s hard lmao ! Not all the packs on the website under my live 2 downloads were standalone /can I load up the mpc software then connect my live 2 and still load those on my machine I just wanna use standalone.
I just got an MPC Live II and I don't know nothing about it (yet). I'm glad I found this tutorial as it helps me to understand a little bit better how to transfer all that good stuff that comes with the MPC but that newbies like me doesn't know anything about. Thanks Matthew!
Thanks bro.. I think in one of your last videos I asked for this.. So I appreciate you for this. You seem to really care about the MPC community
Glad to help out. Appreciate you.
Being a noob on the MPC I have to say, I am super grateful when I type in a question on Google & your face appears! I know 💯 that I will be able to figure out the issue at that point🔥
Your tutorials are the best ever for beginners.
Appreciate you
Just got my MPC one in the mail yesterday and have been trying to get everything loaded and updated while I work. You easily have the best videos helping me navigate such a new device for me so thank you very much for that!
Glad the videos are helpful. Get ready to have some fun with the MPC!
So I just got my one and I’’m lovin it so far. I feel this crazy freedom coming from a Maschine MK3 to the (limitations of the) MPC. Im doing standalone and was kinda meh when I saw the factory content and f9. When I discovered the expansions that was available for transfer through the software… man, holy balls. The Vault 2.0 is the same level of epic as when the fellowship of the ring charges the armies of Mordor. Thanks for the tut man. Keep it up!
Superb all worked for me, just got to make sure you make a Expansions file on your sd or hard drive and drag and drop the F9 Instruments into the Expansions file you made .
Then reboot the Mpc so the files show up.
This just saved my life!!...why in the world is this important knowledge not available on mpc academy?
Just received my MPC One LE.
Nice! Didn't know about the expansions from the software that could be added to the SD card's expansions.
I will also definitely check out the course as it's really affordable and your videos I've checked out so far are straight to the point and easy to understand.
Awesome tutorial! We need more people in the MPC community breaking down things like you did in this video
Subscribed - Bought Merch - Bought Expansions! Thank you bro I'm literally going to binge watch all your videos!
The fact I needed to look up this video, shows AKAI need to work on their damn isntructions.
Thanks for making it so simple!
Glad the video helped.
Thank you so much for this. I have my sights set on the MPC One but want as much knowledge as I can glean from UA-cam before my purchase. Simple instructions like this will definitely keep me from going crazy and wondering what the heck I’m doing wrong on my first overly excited day and having a meltdown.
Thanks again. Subscribed.
If anyone is having issues with finding the F9 expansions after you have inserted the SD card into the MPC One, the folder must be named
"expansions". I missed that part and struggled until I figured it out.
thx
Hey Matt , thanks for the tutorial. Got my mpc obe + since a few days , just bought my 1st expansion ( dev RnB 90s ) . Saw someone elses tutorial, believe it or not could follow him. Then i remember your video and voila its there.
Wow thank you so much. So informative. This is relevant today especially for newer users
This is Beautiful. I had my MPC One for a few Months now and didn't Download any Expansions. So i was Wondering about this. So this Video is Right On time. Thanks Matthew😀👍🏽.
Nice. Good timing. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this. I was on the fence about purchasing an mpc one, I found your videos, and I don’t have to sit on the fence anymore.
Picked one up today.
Right on. Have fun!
This stuff is really a huge help for newbies like me! Thanks a lot for your efforts! Much appreciated! ❤
I'm thrilled that I got the MPC one and I'm determined to learn how to navigate it but really, really wish they would give clear m.f. directions on what to do and how. "hookup to computer with USB" okay got it "F9 expansion put it in a folder" and now I need an SD card. Really annoying
I just got myself an mpc one. I am new to mpc, and your videos have helped me out a lot! Appreciate it!
Glad I could help!
Your soundcraft 22 vid helped heaps too am now summing and recording mixes without a drama second day of owning it thanks heaps your totorials are mad thorough
Hi Matthew,
First, I want to say thank you for all these great videos it’s helping me a lot !
I just followed step by step the f9 installation video in standalone mode.
I can see the f9 folder in my expansions folder on my SD card and use it on my MPC live 2 but it does not appear in the expansions section of the MPC like in your tutorial.
Is this normal or ok ?
Should I try to install it again?
Thanks in advance!
Apologize for my English it’s still a work in progress
André
I just picked up a used mpc one. I'm interested in using live effects with a guitar, or if that's possible. Loving it so far though.
I am glad I remembered yout videos , I got the mpc one tody and this video really help thx !
Thx for all your effort Matthew, thanks to you I'm off and running during my first week with the one, thanks for all you do of the community brother, cheers from Pearl River, NY.
You got this! Thanks for your comment.
Great video, is it possible that we can't load expansions directly on the SD card anymore? The expansions folder is read only and I can't seem to change it.
Cheers Matthew. I finally got my MPC One this week and installed that Expansion pack as the Pads on there sound amazing! The MPC One and some of their other products seem to be marketed as Hip Hop production tools but like I say those Pads you auditioned during this vid are very 'Jarre' like, cant wait to start messing with them this weekend. Anyone on the fence needs to check out this video.
Thanks again Matthew.
You're welcome. Glad you got the expansion pack installed successfully!
An absolute amazing channel. I’m working my way through each video slowly learning how to get around my unit. Thanks so much.
Hey my brother I am new to the MPC one as well as your Channel. I think you're an amazing teacher thank you for a true Master Class.
Awesome. MPC One takes some time to learn but it is worth the effort. Have fun!
Just want to thank you for the straight forward explanation and walk throughs.. you got yourself a new subscriber..
Excellent. It took about 5 hours to download from the website but maybe my computer is just that slow. Good expansion because the onboard sounds were not enough.
Wow that's a long time!!! Glad you were able to download it!
@@MatthewStratton , thanks. Keep those tips coming. This is a complicated machine, some of us need all the help we can get. Subbed. Thanks for responding.
what expansions can be use for standalone? I ask because some of them are software only.
did you got the answer? i have the same question! thank you if you can give me an ideia!
from one Matt to another. THANK YOU!!! This has helped solve a huge issue i have when Akai doesnt give me the .zip, and just the .prgm or .exe.
its incredibly convoluted for some of these, but this is such a spot on guide. thanks.for helping me create more music!
You’re good at being clear and helpful !! AKAI , if you’re reading this…. Cut this man a check 😎
I appreciate that
Very helpful. Thanks, Matthew! 🙏🏾
Thanks so much for this video. It has been so helpful to me to install F9 expansion pack! Your videos on MPC One are so helpful. Thanks again!
Hello, I wanted to ask you how you register to akaipro to get the F9 expansion.... I go to the site and it takes me to InMusic instead. I registered there but there is no expansion or anything. If you can let me know.. Thanks
the last man without dark mode on windows 😁just kidding. thanks for the vid!!
😂 Reminds me too much of work.
Mathew, I followed your instructions. But when I insert the SD card the the F 9 expansion graphic does not appear. But if I go into PLACES i can find the folder there. Why is the graphic not appearing under EXPANSIONS? Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you
We are having the same exact problem as well
Ok I found the problem you have to create a Expansions folder inside of your SD Card
That’s it make sure to put that F9 folder inside of it that’s how my MPC One Recognized the image
@@dangerroomrecords I followed these instructions including making the expansions folder and it’s still not working, any ideas?
Any fixed this problem yet this sucks
@hannagoodrow5067 any answers 2 years later? Lol
Thanks so much for this kind of content. I couldn't find anything on the Akai site about this. I wouldn't have figured this out if it wasn't for your video.
Glad it helped out.
For a beginner is better to start with mpc or daw? Thank you. Video is very useful, good teacher!
Either. I learned on a tracker first.
Great video! I have a 1TB external hard drive brand new. Can I use this instead to pack full of expansions? You may have already answered this question, but out of nearly 500 comments, I just need to get to the point! Thanks for any feedback you can provide!
Yes, you can use an 1 TB USB hard drive with the MPC One and install expansions on it. Works same way as SD card.
@@MatthewStratton I appreciate it, Matthew! 🔥
Don't suppose you've got an updated video for the more up to date InMusic complication? I'm just trying to get to know my MPC One + and going nuts trying to find the F9 pack for the standalone . Akai Academy lesson 3 falls apart quickly without it.
Did you find the correct one?
new mpc owner. thumbs up from me and just subscribed. thank you so much for the videos.
Hey man whats crackin?? Akai themselves sent me this video haha.......Im having some serious problems with installing The Bank expansion on my mac book pro.
Every time i try to install the software the installation stops around 90% with `running package scripts` on screen.
Any ideas??
I have exactly the same. The Bank is 32 bit and you won't install it on macOS Catalina and above.
Great video, but I am still confused about which of the software are already included in the MPC one and which are not. I dont want to repeat files
Don't be an idiot like me and put the F9 folder in a folder spelled Expantions Lol! Do exactly what Matthew says in the video and spell Expansions right and it works like a charm.
Thanks, Matt you are the best. I know I can't be the only asshat that can't spell. Lol! I hope this helps.
It happens a lot. Some people forget to create to folder all together. At least you got it to work!!!
@@MatthewStratton Hell yeah. Thanks, brother!
It would be really helpful if you showed us which ones work for the standalone MPC One and which ones work for the software. This has been a very confusing past couple of days and im very disappointed in the clarity from Akai. I don't want to use their software (I have Ableton) and I only want to know how to add expansions, via USB to my MPC One. This seems to be info that is not available.
ive come to find the same answers
@@cluelesstrainer Me too. I'm opting to use the MPC One for live purposes and still trying to figure out how to install these plugins...
I for one know what you guys are going through. I'm almost there, I managed to get the F9.exp on my MPC via thumb drive. I will have to watch again and again to have it on lock from memory. I'm so close to being dialed in for the time being. Any way don't give up and be sure to read the downloads carefully anything for standalone will be near the Mac and PC icons in your akai account.
Update. I gave up and sold the thing. Lol. Not the best solution but it worked. Not bogged down with clunky equipment and releasing my first full length album next month. Keep at it everyone. Making music is a humbling and amazing journey.
Thanks a lot for all the videos you make. You´re making the life of a beginning mpc user much easier :)
How do i find out which Expansion Pack can be used standalone and which are not? I downloaded several packs from the "Optional - AIR Virtual Instruments" and "Optional - Legacy Expanions" - but it looks like they can´t be used in standalone. Is that correct?!
I Have the same question!!! Please, if anyone can help us ! Thank you for the question and Matthew for the tutorial!
By the way just got the mpc Thursday so very new to this world
Hey Matt! Just want to thank you for your work and kindness. Your mpc one videos have helped me a lot
Also Matt, do you know if mpc-samples.com is legit? I was thinking to buy some expansions there
Thanks. Means a lot. Yes. MPC-samples has some good stuff. What are you thinking about getting?
@@MatthewStratton i was thinking to buy The MPC Instrument Collection, MPC Synth Bundle (MPC Expansion Edition), MPC Drummer - Acoustic Drum Kit Bundle, The Live Break Bundle (Expansion Edition), and 808 Evolution. I AM using the mpc as a full daw for electronic music but i also Record guitar stuff on the zoom r24 and wanted to use the MPC for my acoustic drums and as a synth. What do you think? (Sorie for the big message )
I'm finding these vids invaluable. You're a good man for these! Thank you.
You're welcome. Glad they are helping out.
Very Informative intel i was able to final figure it out watching your video much appreciated
Thank you for not letting me click the wrong one! And then giggling, it was adorable ♥️
Just trying to look out for you my friend. ☺
Just bought mind like a month ago, it came in like a week & half ago, so please thank you!!! You the man!! Keep it going my dawg!!
Will do!
Matthew Stratton if I may ask, what’s the side metal parts on the side of your mpc one, is that the air ventilation system for the mpc one?
Just amazing...thank you so much....subscribed, so much content!!
Thanks very much for this: worked flawlessly 😊
Hey Matt, thank you for the great tutorial. I followed you steps however the expansion pack is not showing up on the expansion tab. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Hi Matthew, I’ve updated my MPC One yo the latest version, but how come I don’t have hype synth in my presets? … if I’m explaining that correctly. Love your channel and your energy! Thank you 🙏
Great video! Your MPC One videos have been super valuable and helpful, thank you so much.
Hey I did these steps and my F9 as well as other expansions show up as a generic letter "F" for the f9 expansion, "C" for the chilled trap expansion, etc. Is it possible for it to show up with the correct image instead?
Thank you so much I was getting a headache lol now I'm good much appreciation!
Hi Matthew: thx so much! Only 10 minutes to solve hours of problems/ being in trouble! d-.-b
Happy to help!
I just got my MPC One and I'm not too familiar with it yet. Due to having an old PC I'll be using it only in standalone mode. Do you know besides the F9 expansion a list of the available expansions that work on the MPC One in Standalone only? Thanks in advance for your time I subscribed!
did you got the answer? i have the same question! thank you if you can give me an ideia!
Is there a way to move the expansion from the SD card to the internal storage of the MPC?
This was my question. Did you ever find out how?
@@Simple_Math444 I bought a 1tb SSD and just keep everything there. I originally thought I needed to move the SYNTH data in the 2.10 update. Im loving the MPC as a pure sound module. I dont really like sequencing it in standalone so I use a hardware sequencer instead
Definitely new Matt
Incredibly useful content most would charge for. 🙏🏿
Glad it was helpful.
Great videos keep up the good work. Really intuitive.
Thanks, will do!
I did the standalone version with a usb but it doesn't look for the expansions on my mpc one. It shows individual samples but no kits. What am i doing wrong?
Seems like Akai's website has changed and one can't really find a downloads list like the one shown in this video anymore
@Matthew Stratton, great and quite helpful video, thanks a ton for that. It worked quite well for my purchased expansions, but not plug ins/synths.
Is there also a way to install plug ins in standalone without the software? Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial. Can I do this with any expansion pack on the Akai website? Or are there expansions that are only standalone or laptop software? Just got my MPC One today.
Yeah Matthew! You're that guy! 😎
Thx! Worked perfectly for transferring my xpacs to my new ssd!
Great to hear!
Thank you sir. I need this tutorial
Thank YOU!!! I really needed this for the MPC Live 2!!!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the info man, i was running in circles trying to figure this stuff out!
You’re welcome!
Can I connect a guitar directly in AKAI MPC 61 or I need a audio interface please respond me thanks 🙏
Gave a thumbs up and subscribed. These expansions are driving me crazy, but I'm following the steps here. Fingers crossed!!
Good luck
@@MatthewStratton I was successful!! Part of my issue was me not understanding the differences in all of those different software downloads!!! They don't all function the same. Thanks for this!!
@@beatrocka5 Nice!
Hey Matt thanks for another great video... but when l loaded the SD card back into MPC LIVE...i didn't get the "looking for expansion message not the F9 EXPANSION PIC.. so it's still on the SD CARD... can u help.. thanks
Great video! very informative
Hi. Thanks for all of your amazing content. I’m an absolute newbie to this. When I downloaded the F9 instruments pack, it didn’t appear underneath as an unzipped file. I’ve followed your instructions and instead of the Expansions icon underneath the existing expansion packs it just has a large F.
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any help from yourself or any others would be really appreciated. Have a great weekend.
Just checking this vid where did you get the Emu Proteus, Blofeld Drums, and Bassline 101 expansion?
I did this correct worked with new synths but the f9 won’t show up in Expansions? Update you have to name the folder expansions or it will not work for the F9 instruments
Can you activate expansion packs like you do plugins in stand alone
Can you also transfer the arcade output as well as other plug-ins into the live??
How do I get the expansions in the software?
Can you tell me which turntable is the best for sampling
Hello. Do you know of any expansion pack that lean more towards percussion instruments such as congas, bongos, shakers, etc?
Thumbs up for sure man! Thank you.
Does F9 not come with the MPC One +? I can't figure out where to download it from.
thanks bro--really getting built up to learn, I wasnt sure at first, if the mpc is me --you make it simpler-will be taking a look at your course for sure
Yeah how did you get in to all of this man-how do you know all the stuff you know
The MPC does a lot. If you learn a few key things you can get started making music and go deeper with it as time goes on. I spent hours upon hours, days upon days, experimenting with it and uh, you know reading the manual 😂 I would put the manual on my iPad next to my MPC and study it. It is time consuming but worth it. That's one of the reasons I made the course. To help cut out some time needing reading the manual and experimenting. 👍
Thanks for this. It worked.
You have information all the time very much appreciated cheers 🍻
Glad to help!
Not sure why, but I couldn't get the Synth Content downloaded according to this procedure. I then did Login and go to the page with My Products and was able to download from there.
your videos are so helpful dude!!!
Which stuff can you only use for software? Minigrand ,Velvet, Riser?
yo men i whanna give you a thanks evry vid of yours is good en i understand it .
thats a big one !
Thank you for the comment!
Ultra super helpful!! Thank you so so much!! Arigatou-
