Track Group Mode - Akai MPC User Manual

Time Correct lets you quantize Track Mutes. This is useful when you want your mutes to line up with a
specific time division. Click the Time Correct drop-down menu and select a value from 1/16th (sixteenth
notes) to 2 bar (2 bars). For example, with Time Correct set to 1 bar, your mutes will always align with
the beginning of the measure immediately after you press the pad.
Hardware: Press F4 (Time Div) and use the Data Dial or -/+ buttons to edit the Time Correct value.
Press F5 (T.C.) to activate or deactivate Time Correct. Press F6 (Solo) to solo the selected pad.

Track Group Mode

The Track Group feature extends the concept of Track Mutes: you can
mute or unmute multiple Tracks simultaneously by hitting one pad that
you have assigned to a Track Group. This is useful if you want to hear a
Sequence without a particular group of Tracks or if you want to isolate
specific Tracks in various combinations. You can create up to 16
different Track Groups.
In the software, do the following to use Track Groups:
1. Click the Track Group button in the Mute Section to activate it.
2. Click the desired bank (A – H) in the Bank section or Pad Bank
section.
3. Click a pad in the Pad Bank section that you want to assign to a
Mute Group.
Alternatively, you can click the the miniature pads in Bank section.
This section gives you an overview of all 128 pads at the same
time. Unused pads are grayed out.
4. Click and drag the Track __ field in the Mute Section up or down to
select the desired Mute Group number.
When a pad in a Mute Group is selected, the other pads in that same Mute Group will blink yellow.
Click the Solo button to solo the selected Track only, muting all other Tracks.
