hi, just got an MPC one and updated it to version 2.10.1. when I hit browser button, go to content and click 'instruments icon', it shows 112 items/folders like.: air components, air tecnology, and so on... each of these 112 folders have 2 folders in them: 'plugin skin and presets'. the problem is the 'plugin skin and presets' folders are all empty, no samples. there should be samples in there, shouldn't it? because what's the purpose of all these 112 empty folders? do you think this is a bug of this MPC one version?

thanks.

please let me know

the instruments folder is for keygroups. if you make a folder on the internal sd called Instruments and sample some keygroups and save them there, when you press the "Instruments" button they will populate that list. on MPC X, Live and Live II that button should lead to f9 instruments by default (if i recall correctly i could be wrong i've not used my MPC in a month now. gasp...) but thats what the Instruments folder is for anyways... keygroups.

The original Live and X didn't get the F9 instruments, we had to buy those unless I missed something in the last update.. On my Live, that just goes to all the preinstalled factory crap that came on it.

How did they get the instruments to audition when you click the xpms??? I need to do that with some of the old S1000 sample libraries I've put on here!
