Ive now spent an hour trying to get some expansion I purchased onto the SD card so that the MPC One can play it.

So I have to follow these steps, unmount the SD card from the MPC One, mount it in a reader, load up the software, do File Export from the software and wait ..

Why on earth do I have to do an export of the SD Card and remount, WTF
And the File Export selects the MPCSD card, but when I click export it goes back to the studio screen

1 hour... and all I want to do is write some music...

You don't have to unmount the SD card. Leave it plugged into the One, enter controller mode, export expansions

Originally the MPC One didn't support 'computer mode' transfer, so perhaps the instructions you are following have not been updated yet. As Bostongreen says, go to MENU > MPC Chip > enter computer mode and your MPC One SD card will appear as a drive in your computer. Select this drive for expansion export.

Also, check out expansions that already contain a drag and drop 'standalone ready' version, so no MPC Software export required, i.e. all of our expansions:

So I enter intro controller mode, select file / export/ expansions, select them all and click export on the MCSD. It comes back straight away, no error, nothing i can see

I think it might have just worked, not sure what happened tbh..
