Audio Tracks - Akai MPC X User Manual

Audio Tracks

The Audio Track Mixer shows levels, mute/solo/record-arm states, send and insert effects, and routing for all used
tracks.
To view a specific setting on all tracks, tap Level, Pan, Mute/Solo/Rec Arm, Send, Insert, or Route at the
bottom of the screen. Tap Mute/Solo/Rec Arm to cycle through them.
When a track is selected, you can view and adjust all of its settings in the left side of the screen rather than using the
tab buttons at the bottom.
When viewing the audio track channel strip:
Note: This is the same as the audio track channel strip in Main Mode.
The first field defines the input source of the external audio signal, which you can set to a pair of inputs (Input
1,2–3,4 in Standalone Mode, Input 1,2–31,32 in Controller Mode) or a single input (Input 1–4 in Standalone
Mode, Input 1–32 in Controller Mode).
The second field shows where the track is routed, which you can change: 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 audio track. Tap the area under Inserts to open
a window where you can load, change, and enable or disable the effects for all four insert slots.
Tap Solo or Mute to solo or mute the track (respectively).
Tap 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.
