Akai MPC Live Beginner

Ok this is definitely a learning curve. I haven't even created any music yet

I formatted my USB and SD card
I Updated the Firmware

But How do I know all my stock sounds are installed on the MPC Live. When I registered it tells me to download all the essential sound libraries and virtual instruments. Do I have to do that or is it installed already? Shouldn't this be already installed in the Live? When I check internal drive I see the Following Files in my expansion file
Clips file is Empty
Instruments file is Empty
The Vault 2 file is empty
Should I install all the essential sound libraries? After I install it how do I get it to the live?

You will have to down load everything. Can you show a screen shor of the content folder which has everything on your live hhd?

I apologize I do have it all in my live it just wasn't on the software until I downloaded.

lol yeah that was strange to not have the Vault on your Live. Loom, Velvet, Hybrid etc goes on your computer. Great sounds we have. Enjoy
