The TRACK GROUP Mode
You can set up track mute groups to mute or unmute multiple tracks simultaneously. This is useful
when you wish to mute a group of tracks, or simultaneously isolate a group of specific tracks. Up
to 16 different mute groups can be created.
X In the MPC hardware, click on the F2 button (TrkGroup) to activate the Track Group mode.
Hit a pad to select its corresponding track, and use the data dial or -/+ buttons to select the
desired group. Pads assigned to a track group will blink yellow. Use the PAD BANK buttons to
switch between the 16 banks, if necessary.
In the MPC software, select the desired BANK first. Make sure to activate the TRACK GROUP
mode in the MODE section. Select a desired pad which should be assigned to a mute group and
select the desired mute group in the MODE section by clicking and dragging the group number
(next to the track number) up or down. Pads that are related to a mute group will be blinking
yellow when one of the pads in the group is selected. You can also click on the the miniature pads
in BANK section to select a pad for assigning to a track group. This section gives you an overview
of all 128 pads at the same time. Unused pads are greyed out.
The MODE Section
Besides the TRACK MUTE and TRACK GROUP mode options that are explained above, the
MODE section offers two more parameters:
• The SOLO button switches the selected pad to solo and mutes all other pads and their
corresponding tracks.
• TIME CORRECT allows you to quantize track mutes. This is useful when a mute process
should be placed exactly on a musical event. You can define a quantization to the pressed
mute pad from 1/16 up to 2 bars. A value of 1 bar, for example, will mute the corresponding
tracks exactly at the beginning of the measure that follows the pressing of the pad.
X On the MPC hardware, click on the F4 button (Time Div.) to edit the TIME CORRECT value.
Press the F5 button (T.C.) to activate or deactivate Time Correct. Press the F6 button (Solo)
to solo the selected pad.
