create a new folder for each project & use SAVE ENTIRE MEMORY
the fx settings are stored as part of the "all sequences and songs" file.
read the FAQ/manuals. it explains all this stuff.
1. How do I keep my FX settings?
The MPC1000’s FX settings are saved as part of a “All Sequences and Songs” file, *.ALL. You can create and save up to 20 settings per Song.
2. Can I load just the FX settings from a .ALL file?
You can retrieve FX settings alone by starting to load a .ALL file, then hitting EFFECT (F2) on the confirmation screen. You can choose to load an individual effect setting, or select “0″ to load all settings. You can give the effects settings more friendly names than “Effect01″, to make them easier to recognize when you try to load them.
3. Why do I keep losing my FX Send settings?
The FX Send settings are part of a Program and saved in a PGM file, not in a Sequence or Song. If you change any settings on the Mixer page, you should re-save that Program to keep the changes.
This makes sense because multiple Programs can be loaded and in use at any time, while the two FX processors are shared by all Programs. This means that changing FX settings can affect the sound of more than one program in a Song, something to watch out for and a reason to hook up external effects for more flexibility.
By analogy with a mixer: a Program is like a mixer input channel, with its own FX Send setting, but it doesn’t have its own FX processor. The MPC1000 doesn’t have Insert-type effects that you can use on one channel exclusively.
4. How do I switch between internal FX programs?
Use Step Edit to insert an Effect event with the number (1-20) of the Song’s effect setting that you want to load. Only do this in one Track per sequence, to avoid confusion.
5. Why isn’t there a Delay effect?
There is now, since the release of MPC1000 OS 2.0. It can work in a fixed-time mode, or synchronized to the tempo of the selected sequence. It is only selectable as FX2, not FX1.
