Panning - Akai MPC User Manual

Note: MIDI Programs' and Plugin Programs' levels will initially appear as ?. This
indicates that the Program is not sending any volume changes, which allows certain
plugins to load with their optimal default settings. If you copy a Sequence, the level
values will be copied with that Sequence. If you move to a new Sequence and put the
same MIDI Program or Plugin Program on a new Track, though, these values will
appear as ?.

Panning

In the software, click the channel's Pan knob and drag it up or down to set the position. To view more
mixer channels, use the scroll bar under the channel faders at the bottom of the window.
Hardware: To set the panning for a channel, press the F3 button (Pan) and use the corresponding Q-
Link Knob for editing. You can use the Pad Bank buttons to select different sets of 16 channels.
Panning for Plugin Programs
Channel faders for Tracks are on the left and for Plugin Programs are
on the right of those. A drop-down menu above each channel fader's
Pan knob displays where its audio is routed. For the Tracks, this menu
displays the name of the Plugin Program through which you are routing
them. For the Plugin Programs, this menu displays where all of the
Plugin Program's audio (from the Tracks) is routed. Click the downward
arrow ( ) to select another routing destination (e.g., Out 1,2, Submix
1, etc.).
Control the panning of a Track's note events routed to the Plugin Program by adjusting that Track's Pan
knob. Use the corresponding Plugin Program Pan knob to control the panning routed to its output.
Important: By default, some plugins do not support MIDI panning by default. In this case, adjust this at
the plugin Track.
