Pad Group - Akai MPC X User Manual

Pad Group

The pad group feature extends the concept of pad mutes: you can mute or unmute multiple pads (on a single track)
by pressing one pad that you have assigned to a mute 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 pad groups.
To use pad groups:
1. If the Pad Group tab in the lower-left corner is not already selected, tap it.
2. Use the Pad Bank buttons to select the desired pad bank.
3. To select a pad to add to a mute group, press it or tap it on the screen. The selected pad is lit green. If there
are other pads in the same mute group, they will flash yellow.
4. To add the pad to the mute group, tap the number of the desired mute group on the left side of the screen. To
remove it 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 pad group. The number of each pad's group is shown in its upper-right corner.
