Recording A Bass Track - Akai MPC TOUCH User Manual

Recording a Bass Track

Let's try recording a bass line. Unlike a drum kit, it's important to be able to play and record a bass
sound chromatically, so this will be slightly different than setting up the drum kit.
Adding a bass line over the drum part means we need to work on a new track. A track is simply a layer
of a sequence. You can work with multiple tracks in a single sequence (e.g., a drum track, a bass track,
a piano track, etc.). when you play the sequence, all of them will play simultaneously.
First, we'll select a new track.
To select a new track:
1. Press Main to go back to Main Mode.
2. Double-tap the Track field in the center-left part of the touchscreen, and then tap Track 2 (unused)
in the list of tracks that appears.
Alternatively, simply tap the Track + button at the bottom of the touchscreen until (unused) appears
in the Track field.
