Updates in MPC 2.5

New Features

Splice Integration

Your standalone MPC hardware now integrates with the Splice platform, allowing you to download and browse your
Splice sample library on your standalone device.
To access Splice:
1. First, make sure your MPC hardware is connected to a Wi-Fi network. See
connect to a wireless network. You will also need access to a web browser.
2. On your MPC, press Menu and tap the gear icon at the top of the screen to open the Preferences page.
3. Navigate to the Splice tab.
4. Tap the Get Login Code button. (If you are not connected to a network, you will be prompted to do so before
the Get Login Code button appears.)
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to link your MPC to your Splice account via a web browser. It may take your
MPC a few moments to successfully link.
6. A message will appear on screen when the link has been successfully established. Tap OK to continue and
return to the Splice Preferences page.
7. Once the process is complete and your MPC has been paired to your Splice account, tap the Sync Files button
to download samples from your Splice account via Wi-Fi to a drive of your choice.
By default, files will be stored on the Internal drive. You can change the selected drive by tapping the Change
button under Sync Files To Drive.
To browse samples imported from Splice:
1. Open the Browser.
2. Under the Content tab, tap the Splice shortcut icon to view samples downloaded from your Splice account.
If nothing appears, make sure that you have connected your Splice account and synced your files by following
the directions above.
3. The right-side of the browser will display your Splice samples organized into a series of top level folders, allowing
you to easily browse your sample library by BPM, Instrument, Key, Pack or Tag. The All Your Samples folder will
show a list of all samples you have downloaded.
Note: The original sample files are stored in the By Pack folder on your drive. Other folders such as By Instrument
contain internal links to help sort the samples by various tags. If the By Pack folder on your drive is deleted, the files
in the remaining folders will become unusable. To fully remove all files, the entire Splice directory should be deleted.
IMPORTANT: Drives formatted using the FAT32 system do not support these internal links. For these drives, and on
the internal storage drives of some earlier MPCs, samples will only be sorted in the By Pack folder. We recommend
using an exFAT file system on external drives used with MPC, as it is the most robust one supported by both
Windows and macOS.
To view the number of samples available to download from your account, tap the Check For Update button.
To log out of a Splice account, tap the Log Out button.
