Chapter 15 : Effect
In this section, you will learn how to select and edit effects. The MPC2500 has two stereo effects and one master effect. To
apply the effects to a specific pad sound, use the two stereo effects. To apply effects to the entire sound, use the master effect.
Note :
The effect 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 specific
pad sound
You can apply effects to the selected pad sound. Here, let’s
apply BIT GRUNGER to the selected pad sound.

Press the [MODE] key and then the [PAD 12] (EFFECT).
The EFFECT mode will be displayed.

The SELECT page will be displayed.
03. Move the cursor to the FX1 type field and turn the
DATA wheel, or press the [WINDOW] key.
The Select Effect window will be displayed. You
can select the effect type by turning the DATA
wheel.
04.
Select BIT GRUNGER and press the [F5] (SELECT) key.
This closes the window and goes back to the SE-
LECT page.

05. Press the [MODE] key and then the [PAD 8] (MIXER)
to display the MIXER mode.

The FX SEND page will be displayed.
07. Hit the desired pad.
This pad will be selected and its display will be
highlighted.
08. Press the UP cursor key to select the FX Send field.
The FX Send field for the effect setting will be selected.

Here, select 1.
When you hit the selected pad, the processed sound
will be played.
The effected sound will be output from the stereo out.
Tips : you can apply the effect to several pads. The effect of the FX
1 is applied to all the pads whose FX SEND are set to 1 In the FX
SEND page of the MIXER mode.
Tips :
you can set the effects in details. For more information about
detailed editing of each effect, see the “Editing effects” section.
Note :
You cannot apply the effects to the pads whose outputs are
NOT set to ST (stereo out) in the L/OUT page of the MIXER mode.
Like FX 1, you can use the effects of the FX 2 by select-
ing an effect in the FX2 type field of the SELECT page
in the MIXER mode and setting the FX SEND field to 2
in the FX SEND page of the MIXER mode.
Applying reverb
When you select Reverb in the FX type, you need to ap-
ply this effect to a specific pad in a slightly different way.
Here, assume you have selected REVERB in the FX2
type field.
01. Select REVERB in the FX2 type field and then select
the FX SEND page of the MIXER mode.
02. Hit the desired pad.
03. Press the up cursor key to select the FX SEND field
and select 2 in the field.
You cannot apply the reverb effect by just selecting
the FX SEND. To apply the effect, you need to ad-
just the signal level sent to the reverb in the send
level field.
04. To adjust the signal level sent to the reverb, press
the down cursor key and turn the DATA wheel.
This field is called the Send level field, and it dis-
plays the value as the bar. The larger the signal level
is, the greater the reverb effect becomes.
Tips : You can adjust the send level field to adjust the amount of
the reverb for each pad, individually.
