Insert Effects
You can select up to four insert effects for each pad or keygroup or for
the entire program. You can use various effects included in your MPC
software as well as other VST and AU plugins installed on your
computer.
To learn how to use insert effects in the MPC software, please see
General Features > Effects > Insert Effects.
Important:
When using keygroup insert effects, they will be applied to the entire
keygroup program. This is because a keygroup program uses the same
sound across all pads, as opposed to drum programs where each pad
can have its own insert effect.
If the Keygroup Audio Route menu is set to anything other than
Program, then program insert effect will not be applied to that pad or
keygroup.
Keygroup Audio Route
This menu lets you select where the audio for currently selected pad or
keygroup will be routed.
Click the drop-down menu, and select any one of the following outputs:
Program, Submix 1–8, or Out 1,2–Out 31,32.
This will determine where the audio of the entire program is sent. This is because a keygroup program
uses the same sound across all pads, as opposed to drum programs where each pad can have its own
insert effect.
Important: If the Keygroup Audio Route menu is set to anything other than Program, then Program
insert effect will not be applied to that pad.
