I'm starting to get aggro about only being able to assign two effects on a beat. It's one thing that you can only use one parameter setting for each effect (as in you can't assign the same effect to various pads with different parameters settings for each) but to only have two FX sends is killin me.. It doesn't help to make new programs, the FX are still the same in each it seems...

I'm curious to see what others have done to work with this limitation, short of individually tracking each beat on pro tools, etc. with it's own FX settings for each track.

The goal I would ideally acheive (hypothetically:) reverb on my sample, compression on my snare, low end boost on my kick, etc.. two FX sends just isn't enough!!!!

hit me with some thoughts

Fx use a lot of cpu and the mpc is no fx unit, it got other stuff to do.

Try resampling sounds with fx.
