Pad Mixer - Akai MPCX User Manual

Pad Mixer

In the Pad Mixer, you can set a program's levels, stereo panning, routing, and effects.
This mode appears differently for each type of program:
For drum programs, this mode shows a pad with controls for each individual pad (of 128).
For keygroup programs, this mode shows a pad with controls for each individual keygroup (up to 128).
For clip programs, this mode shows a pad with controls for each individual clip (up to 16). Even though you can
view other pad banks, only Pad Bank A is relevant for clip programs.
For MIDI programs, plugin programs, and CV programs, this mode is unavailable.
For more information on how these programs differ, please see
