Uploading samples

Hey guys,

i am new to the mpc world and i think the start with an mpc live is a bit easier then with an classic one. Dont know

I am struggle with uploading samples. Is it not possible to just drag and drog , or copy or what ever, folders from an external device to the mpc storage? I just find the way that you upload single samples or even a bunch of samples. But is there now way to upload complete folders and use these folders? Do i need an external device like an sc card for that?

I am just wondering because that beast is in the position to do a lot of crazy things, but a simple filemanager is not included?

So really looking forward to get some help and hopefully find out that i am really new to mpc and the solution is simple

Thanks
All the best
Lukas

To do this you want to use controller mode, so your PC will mount the MPC as a storage device (among other things)... however... you cannot access the internal storage in this mode... and can only mount a) an installed drive (mounts on the bottom), sd card, or a USB drive.

You're probably misunderstanding that the internal drive that the device comes with cannot be mounted. Internally it is a micro sd card, but it also contains all the firmware, and isn't something you want to be making changes to.

My suggestion is to use a USB drive, SD card, or mount an internal SSD/HDD of some kind for storing your programs, projects, etc...
