Install: MPC X, Live & Akai Force
The following instructions are suitable for installing the expansion in the
MPC X
&
MPC Live
in 'standalone' mode, as well as the
Akai Force
(screen shots taken
from the MPC).
First download the zip file via the link provided after purchase and extract the
contents to any location on your computer. Enter the ‘
MPC X-MPC Live-Akai
Force Edition
’ folder and inside you’ll see a sub folder ‘
The Downbeat Kit
’ – this
is the folder we’re going to transfer to your MPC X/Live or Force.
The factory-fitted internal drive on your MPC/Force is not externally accessible,
so let’s assume you have a USB drive called ‘MPC DATA’ connected to the USB
port on your MPC Live/X/Force (you can also transfer to an SD card or internal
SATA drive).
Connect your MPC or Force via USB to your computer and go to
MENU
and hit
the ‘
MPC chip’
icon at the top of the screen (this is the '
Laptop
' icon in the
Force); select
CONTROLLER
MODE
('
COMPUTER MODE
' in the Force). At this
point, your USB disk will appear as a removable drive in your computer.
