5. Copy the expansion pack's folder from your computer, to the inside of the Expansions folder on your user drive or a folder on your MPC Live III.

Make sure you copy the entire folder itself, not the content within it.

Note: If one does not already exist, create a folder in the root directory (top-level) of the drive (not in any folder) and name it Expansions

Note: If copying to the MPC Live III's internal storage, because you have erased your content, copy the missing expansions to the MPC Content Drive, into the Expansions folder:

If there is not enouh room, you can use the User Drive instead. Be sure to add the folder called Expansions to the root of the drive.

6. Wait for the files to copy.

Please see the following example of the MPCe Expressive Kits-1.0.12 folder after it has been copied to the Expansions folder on our SATA drive called Test (M:) for your reference.

7. Once the files have been copied, safely eject the drive from your computer.

8. Insert the drive into your MPC Live III. Your expansion will appear in Browser > Expansions.
