IMPORTANT!
1. INSTALL THE SOFTWARE & DRIVERS
Before connecting MPC Studio to your computer, follow these steps:
IMPORTANT: We highly recommend temporarily disabling your computer's anti-virus software. Some anti-
virus programs can slow down or interfere with the installation of the drivers. Remember to enable it again
after the installation is done.
Windows:
1. Insert the included software DVD into your computer's DVD drive.
2. When the software setup "wizard" appears, click Next.
If you don't see this screen, open Computer, right-click the DVD, select Explore, and double-click the
.exe file.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software and drivers. (You will be asked to connect MPC
Studio to your computer during the installation.)
Mac:
1. Insert the included software DVD into your computer's DVD drive.
2. Double-click the DVD icon.
3. Double-click the Install MPC file.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software and drivers.
2. CONNECT
Follow this sequence of steps whenever you use MPC Studio with your computer:
1. Connect MPC Studio's COMPUTER USB PORT to a free USB port on your computer, using a full-speed
or high-speed USB cable.
2. Power on MPC Studio.
Windows users: The first time your computer detects MPC Studio as a connected device, you'll see
some Found New Hardware dialog boxes. This just means MPC Studio is being recognized by your
computer for the first time and is installing the appropriate drivers. Wait until these dialog boxes have
disappeared before continuing.
3. Open the MPC software. (The first time you open the software, you will be asked for information required
for authorization. Follow the on-screen instructions to authorize your software.)
See the GET STARTED section of this manual for some quick instructions on how to use your MPC
