16 Level; Erase - Akai MPCX User Manual

16 Level

Press the 16 Level button on your MPC X to activate or deactivate 16
Level.
When first activated, the selected pad (Pad A01 by default) will be
temporarily copied to all 16 pads. The pads will now output the
same note number as the initial pad, but a selectable parameter
will be fixed at values that increase as the pad numbers increase
(e.g., Pad 1 is the minimum, Pad 16 is the maximum), regardless of
how hard you press them.
In the 16 Levels screen that appears, use the Type selector to choose
the parameter: Velocity, Tune, Filter, Layer, Attack, or Decay.
To select a pad, do any of the following (while the 16 Levels window
is open):
•
Press and hold 16 Level, and then press the desired pad.
•
Tap the 16 Levels checkbox to uncheck it (temporarily
disabling the feature), press the desired pad, and then tap
the 16 Levels checkbox again to check it.
•
Tap the Pad field, and use the data dial or –/+ buttons.
•
Double-tap the Pad field, and tap the desired pad in the list
that appears.

Erase

The Erase function erases all or part of a track in a specific sequence.
To open the Erase window, press the Erase button. Alternatively,
while in Main Mode, tap the pencil icon on the right edge of the
section, and then tap Erase in the screen that appears.
To select the sequence you want to erase, use the Sequence field.
To select the track you want to erase within the sequence, use
the Track field.
To set the time range of the sequence you want to erase, use
the Bar, Beat, and Tick fields. The left fields set the start of the
time range, and the right fields set the end of the time range.
To select what types of events you erase, select one of the
Erase options:
All erases all pad events from the designated time range and
reset all of its settings.
Automation erases only automation from the designated time
range.
Note erases only specific pad events from the designated time
range. In the diagram of the eight pad banks that appears,
press each pad in each bank to select or deselect its notes.
Except Note erases everything except pad events from the
designated time range.
To confirm your choice, tap Do It.
