Pad Mute - Akai MPC X User Manual

Pad Mute

You can mute or unmute individual sounds (on a single track) in real time by pressing the pads. This is useful if you
want to hear a track without a particular sound or if you want to isolate specific sounds or combinations of sounds.
Tip: This function is similar to muting pads one at a time in the grid—but more convenient.
To mute pads in this mode:
1. If the Pad Mute tab in the lower-left corner is not already selected, tap it.
2. Select the desired pad bank. Use the Pad Bank Buttons or tap a pad bank shown on the left side of the screen.
3. To mute or unmute a pad's sound, press it or tap it on the screen. Muted pads are lit red. Unmuted pads are lit
yellow. Unused pads do not show any sample names.
To assign pads to pad groups within this tab, turn each of the Q-Link knobs (when the Screen Control Q-Link
button is selected) to assign each of the pads to a pad group. The number of each pad's group is shown in its upper-
right corner.
