Browser

The Browser lets you navigate your MPC hardware’s internal and external hard disks to load

samples, sequences, songs, etc. Using filter buttons and user-definable folders, you can easily

adapt it to your preferred workflow. You can also audition (preview) your samples before loading

them.

Important: You can install an additional SATA drive in your MPC X, MPC Live, MPC Live II, MPC Key 61, or MPC

Key 37 hardware, allowing for even more storage space. See Appendix > SATA Drive Installation to learn more

about this.

Important: MPC hardware supports read and write capability for exFAT, FAT32, NTFS, and EXT4 file systems as

well as read-only capability for HFS+ file systems. We recommend using an exFAT file system as it is the most

robust one supported by both Windows and macOS.
