A new instrument.
Right inside your MPC.

01. Check compatibility

MPC standalone OS 3.10.1 or later is required. In Preferences → Enhancements (Beta), turn on Enable Enhancements and External Plugin Support. Read the on-device instructions before applying these settings.

Check each product page for tested devices and known limitations.

02. Download an official release

Use the download button on the product page to get its ZIP package. Extract it to reveal a plugin folder such as kim - VST - Donut Theory.

03. Copy it to your drive

At the root of a drive used by your MPC, create a folder named VST2 Plugins and place the entire extracted plugin folder inside it. Keep its filenames and folder structure intact.

Drive/
└─ VST2 Plugins/
   └─ kim - VST - Donut Theory/
      ├─ plugin.json
      ├─ version.xml
      ├─ VST/
      └─ Plugin Skins/

04. Save and restart

Save your project, then restart the MPC app or device. Find your instrument under External Plugins in the plugin browser.

Installing an update

Back up your project and the existing plugin folder. Read the release notes, replace the folder with the new package, and restart. If an existing project shows unexpected UI or mappings, preserve the original and compare with a new test track.

If the plugin does not appear

• Check your OS version and External Plugin Support settings.
• Check that the plugin folder is not nested inside another folder of the same name.
• Copy the entire extracted folder, not the ZIP file itself.
• Check other connected drives for older copies of the same plugin.

When reporting an issue, include your MPC model, OS version, plugin version, and steps to reproduce it.
