Audio Tracks - Akai FORCE User Manual

Audio Tracks

An audio track uses recorded or imported samples as its sound source.
To create an audio track:
1. Press Matrix to enter Matrix Mode.
2. At the top of the screen, press the + icon to add a new track.
If you cannot see the + icon, press the right cursor to move the matrix
view until it is shown.
3. In the window that appears, turn the data dial to select Audio as the track
type.
Use the Input field to select which inputs the audio track will use.
Check the Ascending box to determine if the channel numbers of the
input sources will ascend across the new audio tracks you create. When
checked, the first new audio track will use the input source you set above
(e.g., Input 1), the second new audio track will use the next input source
(e.g., Input 2), etc. When unchecked, all of the new audio tracks you
create in this instance will use the same input source. This feature is
relevant only if you are creating more than one new audio track
(determined by Number of Tracks below).
Check the Record Enable box to set the new track to be automatically
record enabled.
Use the Input Monitoring field to set the monitoring behavior: Off, On, or
Auto.
If you would like to create more than one drum track at once, use the
Number of Tracks field to select how many tracks you would like to
create.
4. Tap Do It to confirm, or tap Close, the X or outside the window to go
back. A new drum track will be created and appended with a number
(e.g., Audio 002).
Alternatively, press and hold the track select button of an unused track, then tap Audio.
To edit the track settings, double-tap the track name at the top of the screen to open the Track Settings window.
To rename the track, tap the track name field and use the virtual keyboard that appears to enter a new name, and
then tap Do It to confirm or the gray bar at the top of the screen to cancel.
To change the track color, tap the color field and use the data dial or -/+ buttons to scroll through the options. You
can also double-tap the color field and then swipe up or down, or use the data dial or -/+ buttons to scroll through the
options.
