Samples - Akai MPC X User Manual

Samples

Each keygroup can trigger up to four samples, which are assigned in four individual layers. Each layer has identical,
independently assignable parameters.
Tap Samples to cycle through its three available tabs.
On all three sections, you can access the Settings window, which lets you configure certain settings in the Samples tab.
To view the Settings, tap the gear icon.
To close the Settings, tap Close, the X in the upper-right corner, or anywhere outside the window.
Use the Link Slices selector to set how the start point and end point of a slice in a larger sample is set. You can
create these slices in Sample Edit Mode (Chop Mode).
When on, changing the start point of a slice will also change the end point of the previous slice. Similarly, changing
the end point of a slice will also change the start point of the next slice. Disable Link Slices if you are trying to create
slices that use non-contiguous parts of the sample. This is the same as the Link Slices button in Sample Edit Mode.
Use the Loop Lock selector to "link" or "unlink" the loop point from the start point. When on, the loop point is the
same as the start point. When off, the loop point is independent from the start point and indicated by a separate loop
marker. This is the same as the Loop Lock button in Sample Edit Mode.
Use the Zero Snap selector to enable or disable the Zero Snap feature, which forces start points, end points, and
loop points to occur only at the waveform's "zero-crossings." This can help to avoid clicks and glitches when playing
a sample. This is the same as the 0 Snap button in Sample Edit Mode.
