To enter a folder, double-tap it or tap Open in the lower-right corner. Alternatively, press the center cursor or
Enter (MPC X) or the data dial (MPC Live, MPC Touch) to enter a selected folder. You can also tap one of the
folder buttons (1–5) in the upper-right corner to jump immediately to those pre-assigned file paths (see
learn how to assign these file paths).
To load a selected file, double-tap it, tap Load, or press the center cursor or Enter (MPC X) or the data dial
(MPC Live, MPC Touch). If the file is a sample, it will be loaded to the project's sample pool. If the file is a
project, it will be loaded in its entirety (you will be asked if you want to close your current project).
To load all files in a selected folder, press and hold Shift and then tap Load All in the lower-right corner.
To load all files in a folder, select the folder (so it is highlighted in the list), press and hold Shift, and then tap
Load All in the lower-right corner.
To delete a selected file or folder, press and hold Shift and then tap Delete File at the bottom of the screen.
To preview a selected sound, tap and hold Play ( ) at the bottom of the screen.
To enable or disable the audition function and set its volume level, tap Audition at the bottom of the screen.
In the screen that appears, tap Auto to enable or disable it, and tap and drag the level slider up or down to set
the volume level. Tap Audition once more to hide the window.
To show the information for the current storage device, press and hold Shift and then tap Drive Info at the
bottom of the screen. The drive's information will appear in a new window. Tap OK to return to the previous screen.
To format a storage device to use an exFAT file system, select it in the Browser, press and hold Shift and
then tap Format Drive at the bottom of the screen. In the window that appears, tap OK and then Format in the
next window to format the device, or tap Cancel to return to the previous screen without formatting. This
formatting process will set the device to use the exFAT file system, remove any partitions from the drive, and
erase all of its content. (Devices that are uninitialized or do not have a file system will not be recognized by the
MPC hardware and consequently cannot be formatted.)
To get the most efficient use of the Browser, set the file
paths to your favorite drive locations first. There are five
folder buttons labeled 1–5 in the upper-right corner. You
can set these to be shortcuts to five locations on your
MPC hardware's internal drive and/or any connected
storage devices, giving you quick access to your files.
To assign the current location to a folder button, press
and hold Shift, and then tap one of the folder buttons (1–5).
Now, when you tap that folder button again, the Browser
will show that folder's content immediately.
Use the six filter buttons to show only specific types of
files in the list below. Folders will still be shown in the list.
