Track Section - Akai MPC User Manual

Track Section

The Track section gives you an overview of various parameters
regarding the selected Track.
In the software, click the Track drop-down menu and select the desired
Track.
Hardware: Use the Cursor Buttons to select the Trk field, and use the
Data Dial or the -/+ buttons to select the desired Track. You can also
press F3 (Track-) or F4 (Track+) to switch to the desired Track or type
in the number with the number keys.
In the upper-right corner of the Track section, an icon will indicate whether the
Track is using a Drum Program, Keygroup Program, MIDI Program, or Plugin
Program.
Click the Velocity display to change the overall velocity of the selected Track. This determines how
loudly or quietly a Track plays relative its recorded levels. When set to 50%, the Track will be played with
half the velocity it was originally played. When set to 200%, the Track will play twice as loud, up to a full
velocity level of 127.
Hardware: Use the Cursor Buttons to select the Vel% field, and use the Data Dial or the -/+ buttons to
edit the overall velocity of the selected Track in percent.
Click the M button to mute the selected Track. Click the S button to solo the selected Track. When a
Solo is activated from the Main page, the Solo function follows the current Track. In other words, if you
have soloed Track 1, and turn to Track 2, now Track 2 will be soloed.
Hardware: Press F5 (Mute), to mute or unmute the selected Track. Press F6 (Solo) to solo or unsolo the
selected Track.
Click the Type drop-down menu to select what kind of Program the Track will use: a Drum Program,
Keygroup Program, Midi Program or a Plugin Program.
