Yo what's good folk? You'll be seeing aka hearing alot from me I just had a few questions about using the Mfc-42 I just ordered one off e-bay and I'm not sure what it does exactly I have a clue ( only because of Propelleheads Reason and its rack mounts) but I wanted to know if some one could post a sample of haw it alters sounds, or an example of a song it was used in or something of that nature. :P That would be "Lemon Haze" lol but yeah hope to hear from some Ill producers soon.

It filters frequencies in the sound. So you can do a number of things. What I do most of the time is use the low pass filter and turn a riff or something into a bass note. Use 16 levels and play out a bassline.

You can do a lot with it though. Just experiment when you get it and turn the knobs and flip the switches. You'll hear it.

I don't have any examples of my own shit but I'm pretty sure Akai has samples on their site of a sound before and after using the filter.

So does zzsounds.com i think.

>edit; the mfc isn't on their site anymore cause they must've sold out. but they used to have the samples.


http://www.akaipro.com/productsMFC42.html - They got samples of the mfc in the top right-hand corner (under ANALOGUE_Filter)
