Assigning Samples - Akai MPC X User Manual

Assigning Samples

You can assign your new sample directly to a pad from Trim Mode.
To assign a sample, tap Assign at the bottom of the screen to open the Assign Sample window.
Important: Assigning a sample to a pad in this way will replace the sample on the first layer of the pad.
If you set the Assign To field to Assign slice to a pad, the
pad will simply refer to the slice in this sample instead of
creating a new sample. This is useful for reducing clutter in
your project.
Use the Pad field to select the desired pad. Alternatively,
press the desired pad.
Use the Slice Type field to select how the pad's layer
settings will be set when the slice is assigned to it (see
Program Edit Mode
parameters mentioned below):
Non-Destructive Slice: The pad's Slice setting
will be set to the slice number.
Pad Parameters: The pad's Slice setting will be
set to Pad. The Pad Start and Pad End will be set
to the slice's start point and end point values, and
the Loop Position will be set to the slice's start
point but with Pad Loop deactivated.
Use the Program field to specify the program to which
you want to add the slice.
To assign the sample, tap Do It.
To cancel the operation, tap Close, the X, or anywhere
outside the window.
