Keygroups - Akai MPC X User Manual

Keygroups

You can load up to four insert effects to each keygroup. You can do this in Main Mode, the Pad Mixer, or Program
Edit Mode.
Important: When using keygroup insert effects, they will be applied to that keygroup only. Keep this in mind if you
load insert effects to multiple keygroups with overlapping note ranges—the effects will overlap in that range as well.
To load a keygroup insert effect in Main Mode:
1. When the MIDI tab is selected (in the lower-left corner), use the Track field to select the track that uses the
program with the desired pad—the program it uses will be selected automatically.
2. If the channel strip is not already shown, tap the small eye icon below the Project field to show it.
3. Tap the single-pad icon at the top of the channel strip. The channel strip will now show settings for the current
keygroup.
4. Press a pad to select its corresponding keygroup, or tap it on the screen. Alternatively, use the Keygroup field at
the top of the channel strip.
Important: Remember that the effect will be applied to that keygroup only.
5. Tap the area under Inserts, and then use the screen that appears to load or edit effects.
