Akai MPC TOUCH User Manual page 128

The left edge contains icons to quickly enter one of five modes. Using this strip of icons, you can
easily jump between them:
•
To enter Main Mode, tap the house icon.
•
To enter Grid View, tap the grid icon.
•
To enter Track View, tap the bars-and-magnifying-glass icon.
•
To enter the Step Sequencer, tap the vertical-bars icon.
•
To enter XYFX Mode, tap the XY icon.
Use the Program field to select a program for the track.
Use the Length field to set how long the track is. If you select the minimum value, Sequence or 0, the
track will be however long your sequence it.
Tip: This feature lets you maintain tracks of different lengths. For instance, you could play a 1-bar drum
sequence repeatedly under a 4-bar bass line.
Use the Velocity field to set how loudly or quietly a track plays relative to 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. The maximum velocity level is still 127, though.
