Plugin Programs - Akai MPC TOUCH User Manual

Plugin Programs

A plugin program lets you send your
track's MIDI data to a loaded plugin. This
lets you set multiple tracks to use the
same plugin instead of loading an instance
of a plugin on every track (which can be
cumbersome and CPU-intensive).
To create a plugin program:
1. Press Main to enter Main Mode.
2. Next to the Track field, tap the plug icon, which indicates a plugin program.
3. If the project does not contain a plugin program yet, a new plugin program will automatically be
added to the project and appear in the Program field below.
If the project already contains a plugin program, it will be selected automatically and appear in the
Program field below. To create another plugin program, tap the + icon above the Program field. A
new plugin program will be created and given a number (e.g., Program 002).
4. Double-tap the Plugin field. In the list that appears, tap the desired plugin. Alternatively, use the
Data Dial or the –/+ buttons to select a plugin.
You can tap the Type or Manufacturer button at the bottom of the touchscreen to enable or disable
sorting of your plugins by type or maker.
Tap Select to select the plugin, or tap Close to cancel.
Note: You have to specify the disk directory where your plugins are located. This can be done in the
software's Preferences (in the Edit Menu). See the User Guide in the MPC software to learn more:
click the Help menu and select MPC Help.
