Insert Effects; Routing - Akai MPC X User Manual

Insert Effects

When the Insert tab is selected, use the data dial or –/+ buttons to open a window where you can select an effect
for the currently selected pad.
Instead of level sliders, there are fields that display 0–4 boxes to indicate which insert slots have a loaded effect.
The level meters in each pad show a visual representation of the level. Double-tap a pad on the screen to open a
window where you can load, change, and enable or disable the effects for all four insert slots.
You can select up to four insert effects for each pad. You can use various effects included in your MPC hardware as
well as other VST and AU plugins installed on your computer. Tap the Insert button to cycle through the four available
slots for each.
To learn how to use insert effects, please see General Features > Effects > Insert Effects.
Important:
When using keygroup insert effects, they will be applied to that keygroup only. Keep this in mind if you load insert
effects to multiple keygroups with overlapping note ranges—the effects will overlap in that range as well.
If a routing is set to anything other than Program, then a program insert effect will not be applied to that pad or keygroup.

Routing

When the Route tab is selected, use the data dial or –/+ buttons to select the output of the currently selected pad.
Usually, this is set to Program. Double-tap a pad on the screen to select a different destination: Out 1,2–7,8, Out
1–8 or Sub 1–8 in Standalone Mode; and Out 1,2–31,32 or Out 1–32 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.
