You can also mute entire tracks by using the similar Track Mute function.
To enter Track Mute Mode, press Menu, and then tap Track Mute to enter Track Mute Mode. Alternatively, press
Track Mute (MPC X).
1. Press Play to play the sequence.
2. Tap the Sequence field at the top of the screen, and then use the data dial or –/+ buttons to select the desired
sequence. Alternatively, double-tap the Sequence field, and then tap a sequence to select it.
3. Each pad is assigned to a track. Mute a track by pressing the corresponding pad or tapping it on the screen. The
pad will be lit red. You can mute multiple tracks at the same time.
Tip: To mute a track only at precise note intervals ("quantizing" your mutes, essentially), tap Time Division to set
a musical timing value. Tap the desired musical value (e.g., 1 Bar). Alternatively, use the data dial or –/+ buttons. Tap
Close to close the page. Now, when you press a pad in Track Mute Mode, the mute will occur precisely at the
beginning of the following time division (in this example, one bar). This lets you test musical combinations of
patterns—the preliminary stage to building a song structure.
