Pad/Keygroup Audio Route Section; Program Edit Mode For Midi Programs And Plugin Programs - Akai MPC User Manual

Pad/Keygroup Audio Route Section

This menu lets you select where the audio for currently selected pad or
keygroup will be routed.
Click the drop-down menu, and select any one of the following outputs:
Program, Submix 1 to 8, or Out 1,2 to Out 31,32.
MPC Renaissance users: Out 1,2 are routed to the Stereo Out jacks.
Out 3,4 are routed to the Assignable Mix Out jacks.
When using a Drum Program, this lets you send each pad's audio to
separate outputs, if desired. When using a Keygroup Program, this will
determine where the audio of the entire Program is sent. This is because a
Keygroup Program uses the same sound across all pads, as opposed to
Drum Programs where each pad can have its own insert effect.
Important: If the a pad's Pad Audio Route menu is set to anything other
than Program, then Program insert effect will not be applied to that pad.

Program Edit Mode for MIDI Programs and Plugin Programs

For MIDI Programs and Plugin Programs, Program Edit Mode looks a bit
different. You will see an overview of all available parameters of your
loaded virtual instrument, including a corresponding rotary knob for
editing. We recommend editing a virtual instrument by using its own
graphical user interface, though.
To assign a parameter to one of the controls, click the drop-down menu
above the corresponding controller and select it from the drop-down
menu. In this way, you can easily set up arrangements of 16 knobs to be
controlled by your MPC hardware.
You can use Program Edit Mode to directly edit a set of parameters in a
section with your MPC hardware.
Hardware: To edit virtual instrument parameters, press the corresponding
F button (Page1 to Page6). Use the MPC hardware Q-Link Knobs for
direct access of all 16 parameters that are displayed. You can use the
Cursor Buttons to select a desired parameter location in the display and
change the parameter with the -/+ buttons or the Data Dial.
