Returns - Akai MPC X User Manual

Returns

Pads, programs, and audio tracks can each be sent to up to four send channels. Their audio signals will be routed to
the send channels at their designated send levels. After being processed by the effects on those channels, their
signals are then sent to the assigned master output based on their return settings (levels, panning, etc.). This view
displays the four return channels. The return mixer shows levels, panning, mute states, insert effects, and routing for
all used tracks.
To view a specific setting on all returns, tap Level, Pan, Mute, Insert, or Route at the bottom of the screen. You
can tap Insert multiple times to cycle through the four available slots.
When a return 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 return channel strip:
The first field shows the current return number (which you can change).
The second field shows where the return 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 (MPC Live does not use Out 7,8 in Standalone Mode but
displays them to maintain compatibility with MPC X, which does use them).
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 return. 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 Mute to mute the return.
Adjust the pan knob or level slider to change the panning or level of the return.
