send / recieve effects

does the MPC have the ability to send and recieve samples already loaded? for example: play a snare on the MPC and send it thru a rack reverb effect and sample it at the same time on the mpc. can it do that? i would buy a lot more external equiptment if it could

No. You cannot do this directly. What you need to do is record your original sample going through the effect. Obviously a digital recorder like DAT, CDR, computer, another sampler or minidisc will be better than old-style audio tape, although you can get good overdrive effects by overloading the tape machine's input meters. Then you re-sample that recording.

Before I got this computer I had a hardware CD recorder permanently connected to my mixer outs & a digital line from that to the digital input on the MPC. I'd record samples & phrases from the MPC through the mixers EQ & effects onto CDRW, & then resample them.

You should still invest in some extra external equipment. Maybe look into something like the Boss Dr Samples for doing sample bounces like this.

yes.. you need a mixing board and lots of external effects hardware

But....what he wants to do is sample the sound he is playing on the MPC, with the MPC.

Another way is to use a delay with the longest setting it will give you. Have that after any other effects your MPC sample is going through. Play your sample on the MPC, then switch to SAMPLE mode & sample the sound that is being repeated through the delay. However, you need to make sure that you turn the volume of the MPC off when you do this sample, either on the machine itself or on it's mixer channel. If you don't you will get evil feedback noises.

Basically you are using the delay like a second sampler....... this method is not recommended unless you don't have a better method of recording.
