Download Directory Cannot Be Found: You will receive this message if you have not selected a Content Download Drive or if you have reset your MPC's preferences via: Menu > Preferences > Info at any point.

The Content Download Drive is the location that your plugin instruments, FX and Splice content is downloaded to.

On default, this will be the MPC's Internal drive (Internal)

We would advise changing this location to a removable drive, such as a SD card, USB/Hard drive or user-installed SSD for storage management purposes.

To stop this error message:
  • Insert and drive
  • Go to Menu > Preferences > Activations
  • Then tap Change
  • Select a drive as your primary Content Download Drive.

Note: This drive will need to be connected to your MPC when activating and downloading plugins or Splice content:


For Splice
  • Go to Menu > Preferences > Splice
  • Tap Change
  • Select a drive.
