Also it seems both JPEG and PNG format are accepted.ĭo make sure you optimise the file size of your expansion images as they do use up valuable memory when used in ‘standalone’ mode in the MPC X & MPC Live – for more information, check out my separate ‘ Reducing MPC Memory Drain’ tutorial.

When you create your own pack you’ll need to use your favourite image creation software to make a perfectly square image it doesn’t have to be a specific size as Akai seem to use various sizes, although the latest expansion packs use images that are 1000 x 1000 pixels in size, so I would suggest sticking to those dimensions if you can. You’ll also see an image file, ‘ mpc-bible-expansion.jpg’. This is the image we’ll display in the Expansion Browser to identify this expansion pack. First there is a sub folder called ‘ MPC Bible Expansion Files’ which contains the sounds and MPC programs that we’ll use to create our expansion pack. You can see that there are a few other fields to complete so we’ll take a look at these one step at a time. But the most important thing we need is some actual content to convert into an expansion pack!ĭownload the project files for this tutorial and inside you’ll see two items. The concept behind building an expansion pack is simple – point the Expansion Builder to a folder containing the samples, programs and sequences you wish to make up the expansion pack (this is the ‘ Content Directory’) and the expansion builder takes care of the rest, creating a single ‘Expansion Installer’ file ( XPN) from the content it finds inside the folder. After the installation is complete, launch the Expansion Builder: Make sure the MPC Expansion Builder package is checked and continue with the installation.

In Windows, you should find a shortcut in your Start Menu under All Programs > Akai Pro > MPC Expansion Builder. On a Mac you’ll find the expansion builder application in Applications > Utilities > MPC Expansion Builder. You can make your own sample expansions very easily using the separate ‘ MPC Expansion builder’ application that is bundled with the MPC Software installer. We’ll look at all these features as we progress through the tutorial, so let’s get on with making our first expansion! Creating Your Own MPC Expansion Packs

You can also view expansion packs in the ‘expansion’ section of the touchscreen browser of the MPC X/MPC Live/MPC Touch (albeit with limited features compared to the MPC Software browser). Expansion packs are designed to be used in the MPC Software ‘expansion browser’ and ‘media browser’, and offer a range of features such as grouping, tagging, program previews, demo sequences, and thumbnail images. Sample expansions are collections of samples, programs, sequences & projects, often based on a particular ‘theme’. The second type of expansion are ‘ sample expansions’ and these will be the focus of this tutorial. Plugin expansions are currently not compatible with the MPC X and MPC Live in standalone mode. The MPC Software has the Hybrid expansion pre-installed, but you can also download other plugin expansions from your account such as the Bank, Wub and Noise. There are actually two types of Expansion pack the first is a ‘ plugin expansion‘ which is a software instrument and is simply Akai’s own version of a VST or AU plugin. This tutorial is adapted from my hands-on tutorial course, the MPC Bible. We’ll also look at how we can export these expansions for use in ‘standalone’ MPCs (MPC X, MPC One & MPC Live). In this tutorial we’re going to look at creating our own MPC expansion packs with the MPC Software (using MPC Software 2.x, but most of the content also applies to MPC Software 1.9).
