Track Mute - Akai MPC User Manual

Track Mute

You can mute or unmute individual Tracks in real
time by pressing the pads. This is useful if you
want to hear a Sequence without a particular
Track (e.g., muting your keyboard Track to focus
on the bass) or if you want to isolate specific
sounds or combinations of sounds that are
separated by Track.
Tip: This function is similar to, but more
convenient than, muting Tracks one at a time in
Track Mixer Mode.
In the software, do the following to use Track
Mute:
1. Click the Track 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 corresponding Track. 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.
Click the Solo button to solo the selected Track only, muting all other Tracks.
Time Correct lets you quantize Track 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.
