I bought a drum kit from the thempcstore.com for my MPC Key 37. It shows in my inmusic profile however it does not show on the MPC in preferences, activations.

This is how it's done on the MPC One, but the steps should be the same for the Key 37.

1. Download it from Akai Pro account and unzip the file.
2. Inside the zip file, will be a folder named: F9 instruments
3. Unzip it and drag the F9 instruments folder to your desktop
4. On your USB thumb drive create a new folder and name it: Expansions
5. Drag the F9 instruments on your desktop to the Expansion folder on the USB Thumb drive
6. Eject the drive from your computer
7. Plug the USB Thumb drive into the MPC One
8. On the MPC One, go to browse and click Expansions tab.
9. The MPC One will see the Expansions on the USB Thumb drive

*NOTE: On the USB Thumb drive you'll only need one Expansions folder. Therefore when you purchase
or create future expansions for standalone, just drag the instrument folder to that Same Expansion folder.

Don't use the Expansions folder to save samples. It's only for Expansion Instruments.

You can download the Expansion using the inMusic Software Center and install it to MPC Software or Beats. Then, export the Expansion from the Software or Beats and copy it to the “Expansions” folder at the root of your SD card.
