Pad Mute Mode; Pad Mute - Akai MPC User Manual

Pad Mute Mode

Pad Mute Mode lets you easily mute pads within a Program or set Mute Groups for each pad.
In the software, click the Pad Mute tab in the Mode Tab Section.
Hardware: To enter Pad Mute Mode, press Shift + Track Mute / Pad Mute.

Pad Mute

You can mute or unmute individual sounds (on a single Track) in real time by hitting the pads. This is
useful if you want to hear a Track without a particular sound or if you want to isolate specific sounds or
combinations of sounds.
Tip: This function is similar to, but probably more convenient than, muting pads one at a time in the grid.
In the software, do the following to use Pad Mute:
1. Click the Pad Mute button in the Mute Section to activate it.
2. Click the desired bank (A – H) in the Bank section or Pad Bank section.
3. Click a pad in the Pad Bank section to mute or unmute its assigned sound. Muted pads are lit red;
unmuted pads are lit yellow.
Alternatively, you can click the the miniature pads in Bank section. This section gives you an
overview of all 128 pads at the same time. Unused pads are grayed out.
