Looking to buy an MPC One, just a quick question. When I'm saving a song to be able to edit in DAW, when I explode tracks, will it also let me create mp3 files of MPC internal sound content? I know it will create mp3 files for my samples, but will it do the same for the internal MPC factory content?

Exploding tracks does not create individual samples, it creates bounced versions of each individual track (regardless of whether you are using factory content, your own samples, plugins etc). You can explode into any format you wish, but the aim is to explode in the highest quality possible, mp3 would be a strange choice.

If you need to import individual samples from your project into your DAW, you can access the samples directly from your saved project folder. But these will be in WAV format. But again, working in mp3 when editing in a DAW is unusual.
