Pad Mute - Akai MPC User Manual

Pad Mute

You can mute or unmute individual sounds (on a
single Track) in real time by pressing the pads.
This is useful if you want to hear a Track without a
particular sound or if you want to isolate specific
sounds or combinations of sounds.
Tip: This function is similar to, but probably more
convenient than, muting pads one at a time in the
grid.
In the software, do the following to use Pad Mute:
1. Click the Pad Mute button in the Mute
Section to activate it.
2. Click the desired bank (A–H) in the Bank
section or Pad Bank section.
3. Click a pad in the Pad Bank section to mute
or unmute its assigned sound. Muted pads
are lit red; unmuted pads are lit yellow.
Alternatively, you can click the the miniature
pads in Bank section. This section gives you
an overview of all 128 pads at the same time.
Unused pads are greyed out.
Time Correct lets you quantize Pad Mutes. This is useful when you want your mutes to line up with a
specific time division. Click the Time Correct drop-down menu and select a value from 1/16th (sixteenth
notes) to 2 bar (2 bars). For example, with Time Correct set to 1 bar, your mutes will always align with
the beginning of the measure immediately after you press the pad.
