I own my MPC live mk1 since it came out, done tons of things with it but totally forgot how to save my own files before updating and I've never used the software.
Can anyone please drive me to the best way to track down what has to be saved (projects, samples and settings), where I find them and how to save them?
I know this is a stupid question, but after reading Live mk1's manual and seeing some tutorials my confusional state has just got worst and don't want to waste all my work.
Many thanks!

MPC Software 2.8 pdf

Save Project pg 16.

https://www.akaipro.com/amfile/file/download/file/1020/product/85/

What I did was open up the project data folder and closely look at all the file extensions to figure out what files were what.

My mpc 4k’s APS = my MPC X’s XPJ (just like “save entire memory”)

My mpc 4k’s PGM = my MPC X’s XPM.

Etc.

thank you @lampdog!
was able to get through it and install the update!
finding from where do the "save as" for the project file was the dark part for me.
being able to update via wifi is amazing, it looks like MPC sw is doing big, clever steps finally.
can't wait to working with this new fw and explore the potential of connecting to the MPC software ;-)
thank you again!
