Akai MPCX User Manual page 84

The Track section shows the current track, program type, and its information.
The Track field shows the track number and its name.
To edit the name of the track, tap the cursor icon on the right edge of the section and use the virtual keyboard that
appears.
While using a MIDI track, the program selector indicates the type of program through which the track is being
routed. The specific program name is displayed below in the Program section. You can use the program selector to
change program type (and then select a specific program of that type in the Program section below it).
To select a drum program, tap the four-squares icon.
To select a keygroup program, tap the piano-keys icon.
To select a clip program, tap the play-button icon.
To select a MIDI program, tap the bars icon.
To select a CV program, tap the CV icon.
To select a plugin program, tap the plug icon. Plugin programs are available only while using MPC X in
Controller Mode with the desktop version of the MPC software.
While using a MIDI track, use the Length field to set how long the track is in beats. If you select the minimum value,
Seq or 0 (if you use the numeric keypad), the track will be the exact same length as its sequence.
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.
While using a MIDI track, 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.
While using a MIDI track, use the Transpose field to set the transposition (in semitones) of the entire track.
While using an audio track, tap the Record Arm button to record-enable the track. When you begin audio recording,
the audio signal will be recorded to this track.
Tip: You can select multiple tracks in the Track View by pressing and holding Shift while tapping the Arm button to
each track.
While using an audio track, use the Monitor button to set how your audio track will be monitored. Tapping it will
cycle through its three states:
When set to Auto, you will hear incoming audio while the track is record-enabled only.
When on, you will hear incoming audio whether or not the track is record-enabled.
When off, you will never hear any incoming audio.
