MPC1000 has a delay `effect`

I really posted this as a reponse to another thread, but I wanted to also make it top level topic for discussion:

Delay is really the easiest effect to simulate with a sequencer. Just put the same sound a little quieter and a little later in the sequence (and can be on a different track). This is the method many old skool types used for many years. If you like you can Q-link a little LP/HP/BP filter to soften it a bit more.

In reality, that is exactly what a delay effect is doing anyway (sample, store, playback). This way you have complete control over your own delay. So in a way, the MPC1000 does have a delay effect.

For more info on this, check out an old tutorial on MPC-Tutor

http://www.mpc-tutor.com/tutorials/sequencing.php

Check under 'MIDI Delays'. Although written for the MPC2000Xl, the principles are very similar on the MPC1000.

There's also a much more advanced tutorial on MIDI delays in my forthcoming book 'Beat Making on the MPC2000XL - The Definitive Guide'.
