5.1 THE FILE BROWSER

The File Browser lets you navigate through your computer’s internal and external hard disks to

load samples, sequences, songs etc. Using the predefined and user-definable folders, you can

easily adapt the File Browser to your preferred workflow.

X To enter the File Browser, press the BROWSER button on your MPC hardware.

Within the MPC software, the File Browser can be found in the left area of the application

window. The File Browser section can be hidden or revealed by clicking the "triangle" button in the

lower-left corner of the window or by pressing "B" on your computer keyboard.

The main concept behind the File Browser is to easily locate and

load samples, projects, sequences and programs. Samples can be

auditioned before loading.

In order to be able to work with the File Browser, you should define

a data path to your hard disk(s) first. There are 5 buttons labeled 1

to 5 at the top of the File Browser. Here you can select up to five

locations on your hard disk(s) that will offer you a quick access to

the corresponding files.

For example: If your MPC projects are saved within your User’s

Documents folder, click on the 1 button to select browser path 1.

After that, click on the file browser’s pop-up menu for an overview of

your hard disk structure, which looks quite similar to the Windows

Explorer or the Mac Finder. After selecting the desired location, the

content of your folder is shown in the target window. To load a

project, just double-click on its corresponding xpj file in the target

window.

You can filter your search results using the respective filter buttons.

The selected buttons will light red. Click on NO FILT to switch the

filter function off. Click on the PROJ. button to show only Project

files in the target window. Click on SEQ. to show only sequence

files. Click on PROG. to show Program files only (Keygroup and

Drum Programs). Click on SAMPLE to show only audio samples.

Â Keep in mind that the target window does not display irrelevant

files like Word documents, PDF or pictures (e.g. JPEG, TIFF).

X On the MPC hardware, you can use the following buttons for the Browser filter functions: NO

FILTER to deactivate the filter (same as the NO FILT button in the MPC software), PROJECT

for Project filter, SEQUENCE for Sequence filter, PROGRAM for Program filter and SAMPLE

for sample filter.

X Use the SHIFT button in conjunction with the five FOLDER buttons to select the desired data

path location on your hard disk.

X Once a data path is selected, you can choose any file with the data dial, the -/+ buttons or the

cursor buttons.

X With the left and right cursor buttons you can go up or down one level to the previous or next

directory.

X Click on the F6 button (Load) to load a sample on the selected pad.
