Chapter 15: Effects

In this section, you will learn how to select and edit effects. The MPC5000 has four stereo effect busses and each buss

can have two different effects assigned to it. Busses can be combined in pairs to allow a total of four effects per buss.

Additionally, a master EQ and compressor are available for the Stereo outputs. Each pad can be routed to one of the

four effects busses, and each effect buss can be routed independently to any of the available outputs.

Note: All effects settings will be saved with the .ALL file, which is created when you save the data by selecting SAVE

ALL SEQS & SONGS.

Applying Effects to a Pad

In this section will demonstrate how to assign an effect to a pad. Here, let’s apply REVERB to an individual pad.

01. Press the [MODE] and [PAD 11] (EFFECTS).

The EFFECTS page will be displayed. In this page, the signal paths of each effects

buss are displayed. Two effects can be assigned in series per buss. Busses 1 and 2

are displayed on the first page as FX1 and FX2. Press [F2] (BUS3-4) to view busses

3 and 4. Busses 1 and 2, and busses 3 and 4 can be routed together to allow up to

four effects per bus.

02. Press the [F1] (BUS1-2) button.

This will make sure that busses 1 and 2 are displayed.

03. Move the cursor to the first effects block in FX1.

Each effect slot is displayed as a block. When the effect is bypassed, the block will

appear above the signal path line. Each block can be selected using the [CURSOR]

buttons.

04. Press the [WINDOW] button or turn the [DATA] wheel.

This will display the EFFECT EDIT window as shown on the right. This is where

different aspects of the effect can be edited. For more information on editing effects,

see page 151.

05. In the 'FX 1 Block A' field, scroll with the [DATA] wheel.

This will open the EFFECT SELECT window, where a list of effects is displayed.

06. Choose 'Reverb Small' from the list and press [F5] (SELECT).

This brings you back to the EFFECT EDIT window.

07. Press [F4] (CLOSE) to exit the EFFECT EDIT window.

08. Press [F6] (GO2MIX)

This is a shortcut to take you into MIXER mode. You can also get to MIXER mode by

Pressing the [MODE] and [PAD 8] (MIXER).

09. Press the [F1] (PrgMix) button.

The PAD MIX page will be displayed.

10. Hit the desired pad.

This pad will be selected and its display will be highlighted.

11. Select the FX column.

Here, the different effect busses can be selected. The following are available:

No effect will be applied to the pad.

1-4

The buss effect corresponding to the selected number will be applied to the pad.

For this example, select 1.

12. Select the Send column and adjust the Effect Send level.

This controls the amount of effect will be heard when the pad is struck. For our example, set the knob to about 50%.

Note: You can also adjust the send level by using the corresponding Q-LINK knob. See page 91 for more information.
