Track Edit Mode - Akai FORCE User Manual

Track Edit Mode

In addition to editing MIDI note events using Clip Edit Mode, you can edit the parameters of a track using Track Edit
Mode. This mode is not available for audio tracks.
To enter the Track Edit Mode, do either of the following:
•
Press Menu and then tap Track Edit.
•
Hold Shift and press Clip.
Now, let's make some simple edits to the sounds in a drum track. Try making these edits while a clip is playing to hear
the difference.
1. In Matrix Mode, press and hold the Track Select button for Track 8 – Drum Kit to select the track.
2. Press the Note button to set the clip launch pads to Note mode. The lower left quadrant will now show a typical
16-pad drum kit.
3. Press the kick drum pad (A01) to select it.
4. In the Master tab of Track Edit Mode, adjust the Volume knob up or down.
5. Press the snare drum pad (A02) to select it.
6. Tap and drag the Pan knob up or down to adjust the stereo panning. We recommend spreading the panning of the
bright sounds (e.g., cymbals, snare drum) a little.
7. Press the hi-hat pad (A03) to select it.
8. Tap the Samples tab so the first square under it is lit.
9. Use the Semi and Fine fields to adjust the tuning of the sample.
