Picked up a MPC Studio Black and having issues using and loading the factory samples. When browsing samples they don't they aren't "auditioning" while I scroll through them and if I drag a folder of sounds or even an individual sound and drop it onto a pad it doesn't appear in the sample window in the lower right corner of the MPC Software...

Have done a bunch of google searches and watched a several youtube tutorials and can't seem to find anything that addresses a problem like this. In all the tutorials you can hear each sample while scrolling through them and if you drop the samples on the pad they appear in the lower right corner of the software. Just to clarify I can hear metronone clicks so it doesn't appear to be an audio issue

UPDATE: Apparently it's only "the809" and "theBank" that won't drag and drop onto pads. I'm having success dragging and dropping other sounds like the Legacy MPC sounds... *BUT* sounds still won't "audition" as I scroll through them which is obviously incredibly frustrating

The bank and the 809 are plugins, you cannot drag/drop these, you gave to load a patch via a plugin track.

As for hearing normal samples when selected in the browser, you have to engage the audition button at the bottom of browser.

Check out the book in my signature for mpc studio tutorials - I cover the use of the browser (including auditioning) in chapter 1 - http://www.mpc-samples.com/product.php/ ... laid-bare/

Yeah, I have a Touch also. The Studio stays in the car with a tablet, I can't justify a full black studio purchase though, the touch is a really good controller.

I deleted a file that appeared temporary at the top of the list of drum kits
Now I get no audition as I scroll through
I have audition set to sync and auto
No sound for any kits
They will load normally but I can’t hear the audition in the browser screen PLEASE HELP!!

I'm new to MPC Studio controller and I'm following MPC tutorials that I found on here and what I'm trying to do is just audition drum packs. So I create a new sequence with nothing in it then I click the browse button and I can audition the media browser and select a drum pack by clicking on the big button. I can now play that drum pack but when I go to hit browse and audition the next drum pack and select that drum pack it stays on the first drum pack so it won't change drum packs for some reason. I've been at it for several hours. I've restarted my Mac, but I haven't reinstalled the software. Does anybody have a fix.
