Akai MPC X User Manual page 108

On the left edge of the screen, next to the five mode icons, there are two small icons
that control the channel strip.
To show or hide the channel strip, tap the eye icon.
The icon below the eye icon indicates the type of channel strip (see next description).
The channel strip contains some important settings for the current pad, program,
track, or master output, depending on the currently selected icon:
To view the pad channel strip, tap the single-pad icon.
To view the program channel strip, tap the four-squares icon.
To view the track channel strip, tap the bars icon (when the MIDI tab is
selected) or the waveform icon (when the Audio tab is selected).
To view the master channel strip, tap the crown icon.
When viewing the pad channel strip while using a drum program, keygroup program,
or clip program:
The first field shows the current pad number. Press a pad or tap the field to select
a different pad.
Tip: This is useful for mixing your pads without having to enter the Pad Mixer.
The second field shows where the pad is routed, which you can change: Program
(the usual setting); Out 1,2–7,8 or Out 1–8 in Standalone Mode, Out 1,2–31,32 or
Out 1–32 in Controller Mode. You can also select a submix (Sub 1–8) in Controller
Mode.
Note: When set to a mono channel, the left and right channels are summed post-
pan knob. If the pan knob is set to the center position, the left and right channels
will be summed and padded. If the pan knob is set to the maximum left or right
positions, only the respective channel will be sent to the output.
The Inserts field shows any enabled or disabled effects for that pad. Tap the area
under Inserts to open a window where you can load, change, and enable or
disable the effects.
Tap Solo or Mute to solo or mute the pad (respectively).
Adjust the pan knob or level slider to change the panning or level of the pad. The
green level meter next to the slider shows the pad's current volume level in dB.
