This will assign the desired pad to effects buss 2. Note that the Send Column's control for this pad has now disappeared. This is because as the

signal diagrams on page 150 show, when DIRECT is set to OFF, the effects buss acts as an insert, and 100% of the dry signal is automatically

sent to the effect.

 Adding additional Effects to the Effects Buss

Each effects buss can have two effects assigned to it. This can allow for

extremely complex, wild sounding effects. As an example, continuing

from our example on page 149, let's add a delay to the Reverb on Buss

01. Press the [MODE] and [PAD 11] (EFFECTS), then Press the [F1]

(BUS1-2) button.

02. Select the second effect block of FX2.

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

This will display the EFFECT EDIT window.

04. In the 'FX 1 Block 2' field, scroll with the [DATA] wheel to choose delay and press [F5]_(SELECT).

This brings you back to the EFFECT EDIT window.

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

06. Hit a pad assigned to buss 1.

Notice that now there is a delay effect added to the reverb effect.

Tip: Setting the send level high, or setting this busses 'direct' field to OFF, and adjusting the relationship of each effect

to one another using each effect's 'Wet/Dry' parameter can allow for even greater flexibility. For more information on

editing each effect individually, see the section titled 'Editing Effects' on page 151.

Effect Buss Chaining

Effect chaining allows for the output of one buss to be routed into the

input of another. Buss 1 can be routed through buss 2, and buss 3 can be

routed to buss 4. This allows a program to be able to use up to four

effects in series.

All Inputs sent to FX1 are first routed through FX1, then through FX2.

Inputs routed to FX2 will be sent through FX2 only.

To turn on Effects Chaining, do the following:

01. Press [MODE] + [PAD11] (EFFECTS) to enter Effects Mode.

02. Select the FX1>FX2 field.

03. Change the FX1>FX2 field to "ON" by turning the [DATA] wheel.

FX1 will be routed to the input of FX2.

About CPU Usage

The MPC5000 has a dedicated processor for effects. Each effect on the MPC5000 uses a certain percentage of this CPU's

power. Some effects, such as flangers, choruses etc, use very little power. Others, like

reverbs and delays take substantially more power. When adding effects, it's a good idea to

keep watch of the CPU meter.

Editing Effects

In this section, you will learn how to edit effects. When you scroll with the [DATA] wheel on an effects block, or press

the [WINDOW] button while an effects block is selected, the EFFECTS EDIT page will be displayed. Here, you can edit

the effects selected in each effect block.

Tip: If you press the [F5] (BYPASS) button while an effects module is selected, you can turn off this effect temporally.

This is useful to compare the effected sound and the original sound.
