I have the following Extensions installed, all from the Account area on akaipro.com. These all appear in Expansion Manager in the MPC software.

Deep House Drums
Essential Instruments
F9 Instruments
Hybrid 3
Sonic Boom
The 809
The Bank
The Noise
The Wub
Trap Drums

However, when I select Export I only see Deep House Drums, Essential Instruments, F9 Instruments, Sonic Boom, and Trap Drums. Same with the UI in the MPC software, it doesn't see anything but these five.

How can I get these other Expansions loaded into my MPC Live II?

In the expansion manager they have a different icon to the other expansions. Akai originally referred to all add-ons as 'expansions', with Hype and the Bank considered 'plugin expansions'. These days the term 'expansion' really just means 'sample expansion', they don't use it in reference to anything else as far as I'm aware. Except for this 'expansion Manager'!

They now use the terms 'synths' or 'instrument plugins' or similar when referring to all the plugin content
