Track Group - Akai MPC X User Manual

Track Group

The track group feature extends the concept of track mutes: you can mute or unmute multiple tracks (in a single
sequence) by pressing one pad that you have assigned to a track group. This is useful if you want to hear a track
without a particular group of sounds or if you want to isolate specific sounds in various combinations. You can create
up to 16 different track groups.
To assign tracks to track groups:
1. If the Track Group tab in the lower-left corner is not already selected, tap it.
2. Select the desired pad bank by using the Pad Bank buttons.
3. To select a track to add to a mute group, press the corresponding pad or tap it on the screen. The pad for the
selected track is lit green. If there are other pads for tracks in the same mute group, they will flash yellow.
4. To add the track to a mute group, tap the number of the desired mute group.
To remove the track from the mute group, tap Off.
Alternatively, turn each of the Q-Link knobs (when the Screen Control Q-Link button is selected) to assign each of
the pads to a track group. The number of each pad's track group is shown in its upper-right corner.
