The MPC Element's slim design, pad play integration, and ease of use with many of today's modern music applications provides the feature set to help users produce in a portable way. The MPC Element is also bundled with MPC Essentials Software, which combines to make a dedicated hardware and software experience. Hi - I accidentally deleted the MPC Essentials Install program (v1.8.2) for Mac. I initially downloaded the application when I first registered my MPK Mini mk2 but can't seem to find it to re-install it. Below you'll find some free MPC expansions and kits which are all compatible with the MPC X, MPC Live (I & II), MPC One, Akai Force, MPC Software and MPC Beats.Simply add them to your cart and check out as normal; there's no charge and no payment needed. I had just gotten a brand new MPK Mini today. I had almost successfully installed the Mpc essentials software, until a problem had occurred, I wasn't able to unlock the device. And yes I do know that the driver does not need to be installed, only the software. I had panicked and deleted/trashed all of the downloads, restarted my MacBook, then went back on my Akai account to re-download.
Pre-Programmed to work as soon as you load them up in the Akai MPC 1000.
