What's up guys, so I'm converting my own custom chord progressions but I cant find them in the progressions folder in the mpc folder. It shows up when I'm connected in pad perform but I cant copy them to my sd so I can play them in my stand alone mpc one. Any help is appreciated.

I may be mistaken but when you save progressions in standalone it saves them in the original progressions folder you cant access. When you save them in controller mode it saves them in the user folder on your pc which is why I only bother converting progressions in controller mode and then copying them to user drive /progressions folder.

Yes, when you have progressions on your PC's disk (from the Internet or your own) which you would like to use in standalone, you can copy them onto your SD card /Progressions folder, and your MPC will find and read them as soon as you insert the SD card. To summarise, MPCs read progressions from both the internal memory and external drives and merge them into a common list available from the Pad Perform window.
