I connected my MPC one via usb and was able to upgrade the firmware successfully however the unit isn't showing up as a driver when I enter controller mode. Instead when I enter controller mode MPC one is recognized as an audio device. How do I get the mpc to show up as a drive so I can transfer files to it?

The user installable drive and the SD card shows up as drives, but the internal (the one that comes with all the factory material) does not.

If you do have one of the two, or both, drives installed/plugged-in then maybe try a different cables, or even a different USB port? (The X has USB3, and I only use USB3 with USB3 cables, so I cannot speak for backwards compatibility.)

This is something they need to fix and somehow Q/A missed this on the MPC ONE.

Yeah the One for whatever reason cant mount the SD cards to the desktop. The Live and X can but not the One. I wonder if they did screw it up or if thats really one of the features they left out on the 'little one' like the Bluetooth and Wifi stuff. The damn SOC has it all, they just didn't want to enable it I guess.
