2. Connect

Follow this sequence of steps whenever you use MPC Element with your computer:

1. Connect MPC Element's USB port to a free USB port on your computer, using a full-speed

or high-speed USB cable.

Windows users: The first time your computer detects MPC Element as a connected

device, you'll see some Found New Hardware dialog boxes. This just means MPC

Element is being recognized by your computer for the first time and is installing the

appropriate drivers. Wait until these dialog boxes have disappeared before continuing.

2. Optional: Connect any additional audio devices (e.g., mixers, monitors, microphones,

etc.) or MIDI devices (e.g., synths, drum machines, etc.) to your MPC Element or your

computer.

3. Open the MPC software. (The first time you open the software, you will be asked for

information required for authorization. Follow the on-screen instructions to authorize your

software.)

Any items shown here but not mentioned in the Box Contents are sold separately.

Important: Do NOT connect audio devices (e.g.,

headphones, monitors, etc.) to the 1/8" MIDI In or MIDI Out

jacks. Use the included 1/8"-MIDI adapters to connect MIDI

devices only.
