Tap the track automation button to toggle between the two states.

Alternatively, press Read/Write (MPC X, MPC Key 61) or Automation (MPC

Key 37).

When set to Read (R), the audio track will read automation data but will not

record any additional automation over it. (Think of this as a protective

feature to prevent accidental changes to your automation while recording.)

When set to Write (W), the audio track can record automation. (If you have

any Q-Link knobs assigned to automatable parameters, make sure not to

touch any accidentally while you are recording.)

Tip: You can quickly set all programs and audio tracks to the same

automation by tapping the global automation button in the upper-right corner

of the screen. See General Features > Automation to learn about this.

Press and hold Shift and tap the track automation button to disable track

automation. Alternatively, press Shift+Read/Write (MPC X, MPC Key 61) or

Shift+Automation (MPC Key 37). When off, the audio track will ignore

automation data. Tap the track automation button or press Read/Write to

enable track automation again.

Important: If you have already recorded automation and turn it off, the track

will still use the effect and its parameter values at the point where you turned it

off.

To change the panning or level of the track, adjust the pan knob or level

slider.

To record-enable the track, tap the Record Arm button or press Rec Arm

(on MPC X when the track name is shown in the display strip below the level

meters). When you begin audio recording, the audio signal will be recorded to

this track.

Tip: You can select multiple tracks in the Track View by pressing and holding

Shift while tapping the Arm button to each track.

When viewing the main output channel strip:

The first field shows the current main output as a stereo pair (which you can

change).

The Inserts field shows any enabled or disabled effects for that pair of outputs.

Tap the area under Inserts to open a window where you can load, change, and

enable or disable the effects.

Tap Mute to mute the main output.

Adjust the pan knob or level slider to change the panning or level of the main

output.
