Maybe I can get some help from somebody. I picked up. MPC chords.3 and I was able to upload it to MPC 2 on the laptop, but I’m trying to put them on my MPC live 2. Here’s what I’ve done. I’ve made a file named progressions. Put the files in there and then copy those two my SD card for the MPC. Now when I go to my folder on the MPC, I see the progressions there as well as the files, but I’m not able to access any percussions is anybody had this problem? Am I doing something wrong obviously lol any help would be much appreciated

Yes, I did purchase it from them. I was going to reach out to them. I probably should do that now. I just didn’t know if anybody else was maybe running into this issue and had a quick fix. It’s kind of been driving me insane

Manual Transfer
Presuming that your expansion is already unpacked in a folder subsequently the last method of installing an expansion is for you. What you need to do is the following:
– copy the folder onto one of your installed storage (HDD, SSD, SD card, USB drive) in the folder named “expansions”
– If you don’t have the folder “expansions” – create it.

So I have done that I have made a file named it progression spelled it correctly, copy the chords over to that file and put the file on my SD card. I opened up my SD card on the MPC live and I can see the files folder that says progressions I click on that and it takes me to the chords, but I cannot hear anything from them or load them up??

When it comes to expansions, I have no problem third-party creating those in my expansion builder, and then loading those two of the MPC desktop software to then export them to my SSD drives, but when it comes to these chords, for some reason, I can see the files on the SD card on the MPC live, but I just cannot upload them or hear them, now I can hear them on the desktop version just not my standalone… still confused

So I realized that when I would go to the pad performance, I was going to custom for some reason thinking I would have to upload the progressions versus just going to the progressions and then scrolling over to the loaded progressions that were on the file, I found them, and their working…i appreciate all the help guys!!!
