I've just started messing around with MPC software on my mac. I have a couple of questions I'm hoping one of you can answer.
Where should the demo files be located on my mac? If I create a new project the demos don't show. In preferences > project defaults > show new project dialog it says "Demo/Template/Recent (Not Installed)"
Also where are the expansions installed to?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, so I've just answered one of my questions. The files seem to be installed in '/Library/Application Support/Akai/MPC'

And I've now worked out the rest of my question.

So, The '/Library/Application Support/Akai/MPC' folder is where the files and settings for MPC Desktop 2 live.
The actual Demo files get installed to '/Library/Application Support/Akai/MPC/Content/com.akaipro.mpc.expansion.demos2'

The issue I was having was that the demo content wasn't installed. I downloaded the installer from https://profile.inmusicbrands.com/custo ... strations/
I downloaded MPC2.0DemoProjectsMAC.zip from there. Unzipped and ran the installer.
