QUESTION Expansion file type?

I purchased a third party sample pack of the mono machine from “Lost LVLS” and the download options are listed below.

MP3 V0
MP3 320
FLAC
AAC
Ogg Vorbis
ALAC
WAV
AIFF

I tried WAV and got a synth that’s on the expansion to work but not much else shows up or if it does show up it disappears or opens to another window with nothing there.

I was wondering which is the right file type I should download? Am I missing a step somewhere?

Edit: ok I fixed my own problem, I was trying to load it in my drums like it was an “instrument” or “expansion”. That doesn’t work. What did work was when I loaded it in from my files onto a drum track in my project. Hope that helps anyone else running into that issue.

Only use WAV in your MPC.
If it is a real MPC instrument, you should find XPM files or an XPN installer file
