MPC One - Save Project To SD Card (From Internal Drive)

[@adrianromhild3091]

Every time I google my questions, which I have about the mpc one, I find your videos =) These are so valuable and clearly explained! Thank you a lot for your awesome content! I really appreciate your style of explaining! It is always very clear and very simple to follow you.

[@MatthewStratton]

Right on. Thanks for that. Glad the videos are helpful 🙂

You are the best at explaining how to use the NPC one so thankful you did these videos. I just picked up a used NPC one and I’m so glad I have across your videos.

[@herbdevezin8234]

Matt Stratt you’re the truth…just purchased the MPC Live 2 and I’m a beginner and also this is my 1st MPC so your videos are really helping out!!! Thanks 🙏🏾

[@buckbumble]

Matthew, your videos have kept me enjoying and understanding my MPC since I got it. I’m new to MPC’s and have recently bought the One and I found it a bit of a learning curve, but your videos make everything really transparent. Thank you.

[@MatthewStratton]

Glad to help!

[@pocketsquareformat]

Dude, your information is golden! I'm a newbie and you are helping me get familiar with the MPC workflow in many ways. Much appreciated.

[@MatthewStratton]

Nice! Glad the videos are helping out!

[@DJSILKWOLF]

Thanks this immensely helps in my decision to buy one of these. Appreciate you going through this in a detailed way.

[@Gegatso]

Your videos are a lifesaver! This stuff may be in the manual, but seeing it done is really the way to go. Thank you for a broke guy who is new to my MPC One and learning most of how to use it through you! Definitely spreading the word, and I can't thank you enough!

[@MatthewStratton]

Glad you are finding the videos helpful! There can be a bit of a learning curve for the MPC but it is worth learning.

[@FRST2012]

My MPC One arrived today. Your content has been super helpful so far. Coming from a Yamaha QY700 many years ago, and having tried Reason, FL Studio, Abelton over the years, having hardware and software that works the same way seamlessly will be huge for me. Thanks

Haven't used the Yamaha QY700 but it look awesome. Get ready to have some fun with the MPC One.

[@BoomBapProductions]

[@lorenzorojas4682]

Hey Matthew thanks for sharing your knowledge on the MPC. I recently started using my MPC to run backing tracks, a click, my midi keyboard controller, and process vocals via an audio interface. My band and I wrote an idea in a separate MPC project but we want to have those midi Plugins and drum programs incorporated to our set. Is there a way to open sequences from one project and bring it to your new current one? Ideally I want to transfer the sequence as is with all the tracks to our set with backing tracks. I think I might need to recreate the song but I feel there has to be a way to bring an entire sequence from one project to a new one. Cheers, and best of luck! Thanks for the great info

[@ekclay7]

Thanks man, valuable tutorial..I needed this. Have the X, coming from 2000xl and 5000.. thanks.

[@invisigoat]

Boy oh boy was this ever needed! Thanks! The last comment was two years ago so i don't know if you're still answering questions. I sure hope you are. My MPCX expansions in standalone mode are NOT in my MPC 2.0. Is there also a way to transfer my expansions to the software? Do they automatically transfer with the project information? I know I'm going to spend hundreds of dollars buy expansions but I don't want to spend another nickel unless I know I can use what I already have. Please help. Thanks!

[@rootstudio247]

Hi Matthew, awesome videos for an MPC newbie like me. One question though. In all your videos, you have a folder icon on the main screen next to the project name. This is so useful for a lot of things. On my MPC one, it never shows. The first icon that shows is the MIDI monitor. Perhaps I accidentally hit something to make it go away. How can I get that folder icon back? Thanks and keep up the great work 😊

[@shoppersplace]

A little bit to add. You can go back to internal drive, and delete the first project file now that its on sd. Also, I am trying to figure out how to move "wav" files from internal drive to external drive.

[@bluecliffsynthesis6685]

Really appreciate how practical these tutorials are. Just to be clear: these is no way to access the MPC One's memory directly through USB connection to the computer? In order to transfer files from my computer to the MPC, I have to load them directly onto the SD card, and then plug that SD card into the MPC One? Or is it possible to load onto the SD card from my computer via the MPC One?

[@MatthewStratton]

Thanks! Yes, you understand correctly. You can also use a usb drive.

Good Morning Matthew! Went through your online videos, not to make to much mistakes, Im asking you again for a little advice to start porper with my MPC Live 2, regard to space on the Disc, so let me know if possible how I can delete old stuff on the box, an get free space, is it possible to store the splice content also on a internal HD and how can I delete the old once. Very interested in your opinon and way you suggest ;- ) Thanks for your time and Work....cheers

[@arianaberndl9391]

Thank you for your videos, Matthew :) Do you have an idea how I can connect my MPC live with Ableton? I love to create beats on my MPC but would love to arrange them on a DAW. I was looking for information all around the web, but wasn't successful yet. Maybe you can help? Merci!

[@yosriouni]

Hi Matt, thank you for the video. Would you know if it's possible to access the internal storage on Controller Mode please? I wish to use the drum samples that are internally stored but it seems the access in Controller Mode is only restricted to the SD Card. Thank you.

[@JoshRedmondSB]

This video is awesome! Thank you for taking the time to do this, just one question though....If I wanted to take samples or projects from a SD card and save them to the hard drive of my mpc is the process just reversed ? Load the sample from the card and then select Internal in the save menu 🤔

hey man, new subscriber here. been watching all of these tutorials. really helpful with navigating the MPC one. I have the same question I saw another person post. I know you don’t get to reply to these very frequently, but if you happen to see this maybe you or another user will know what’s going on - I bought a San Disk 64 SD card. Months ago when I installed it, it showed right up in the Browser/Places. Hadn’t turned on the sampler in a couple months. Turned it on. Made some beats, and went to save. The SD card doesn’t show up. Took it out. Loaded it again, and nothing. The MPC doesn’t show it is installed 🤷🏼‍♂️ Does it need formatted? I’m confused as to what happed when it worked fine before.

Great video Matthew, thank you! You mentioned a 256gb sd card. I just bought a used MPC One, I'm waiting to receive it. I have a new 256gb micro sd card with an adaptor to fit the card slot. I just wanted to know if the MOC One will accept a 256gb or is it limited to the 128gb card?

[@MatthewStratton]

To biggest one that I personally have used is 128 GB. I have read in forums and on Reddit that you can use a high number. I think it depends on which Akai rep you talk to on what is supported. I think it is 32GB is officially support, at least that is what it is for the MPC Live. Are you going to use the 256 GB SD card with the MPC One?

I am creating a techno-live set with like 8-16 songs. Would it be wise to get the fastest SD card (Sandisk extreme pro) with higher read and writing speeds? Its double the speeds of the Sandisk Ultra. Would it make any difference?

[@MatthewStratton]

Be sure to read the fine print on the read speeds. From what I read those numbers need proprietary technology to reach those high speeds. The new Sandisk Ultra says 120 MB/S, but then says it is 120 with proprietary technology. Check quote from amazon description: "Up to 120MB/s read speed, engineered with proprietary technology to reach speeds beyond UHS-I 104MB/s, require compatible devices capable of reaching such speed." and the same thing for the Extreme Pro: " transfer speeds up to 170MB/s [requires a compatible device capable of reaching such speeds, such as the SanDisk SD UHS I card reader (sold separately)] " I do not know if the MPC has the compatible technology to get the fastest speeds advertised on the Sandisk Extreme Pro. Even other brands I looked at need an adaptor of some sort to get the fastest speed that is printed on the label.

[@jellebolijnlive]

@@MatthewStratton Thanks for the nice comment! I went with the Extreme Pro after a comment on Reddit. Since the speeds that are being advertised are not common in the field, so the Extreme Pro that does 170 mb/s will be 100mb/s in the real. I found this on reddit: Class 10 means a minimum speed of 10MB/s but doesn't show anything about max speed. I took a flashlight to the SD card slot and it looks like there is only one row of pins. So, the best the SD bus can support is UHS-1 which has a maximum transfer speed of 104MB/s if Akai used the fastest UHS-1 bus they could get. So, it looks like you want a class 10 / UHS-1 card for sure and then anything with over a 104MB/s max speed is a waste of $ that could instead be better spent on more capacity. Max speed doesn't mean normal red/write speed. Sandisk Extreme Pro @170MB/s had normal speeds just under 100MB/s.

Hello Matthew. Sorry if it's already been asked but I have an issue with some old projects I used to work with on my MPC One. I've put them on a SD card and tried to use them on my MPC Live II but when I go to the Main screen there's nothing. The weird thing is that when I open the project with the MPC Beats app on my PC I have the whole tracks with all the sequences i've made but when I open it on my MPC Live II there's nothing. Am I doing something wrong ? Thanks in advance !

I have encountered this problem sometimes when using different versions (like going from 2.7 to 2.8 firmware). Is the firmware the same on your live II as your MPC One?

@@MatthewStratton Nope, it was on 2.7 but I did the update to 2.9 and now it works. Thanks a lot for your help !

How about batch file transfer? From internal to internal SSD..........

I am having trouble with the internal storage on the mpc one. I deleted most of the demos and internal samples but everytime I try and open a project it says I have low memory. I have a 32 gb sd card that I saved all my projects too but it continues to say i have 0 memory. Any suggestions ???
