You have 4 per pad, 4 per pgm/submix, 4 on master.
In total you have 12 to freely assign from sample all the way thru to master out.
There’s even 4 on return/sends.
8 separate submixes. 4 separate return/sends.
True... There is no real limit just convenience. If they are gonna allow that many instances of effects why limit to only 4 in the menu? I like seeing all my effects to prevent accidental compounding and keep things neat.
See a workaround I have right now with my vocals is I use my zoom l-8 mixer to power my condenser microphone and then send a custom mix with only the mic to the input of the MPC keys the I have 4 effects on the input... And I set up additional mastering type effects on the 3/4 output that I send back to my mixer. My mixer has a very nice reverb so I use that instead of the synth one... Output 1/2 are the synth sounds.
Crazy good how well it works. But I still run out of effects some voice stuff needs a lot of em... Limiter compressor EQ reverb delay, ducking, chorus harmonies etc...
I have a voice effect box that has over 10 effects at once and this keyboard replaced it because I actually prefer the voice tuner on it to the one I have in the voicelive by a small margin (each have their advantage).
But on the keyboard ita slightly more complicated and convulted. But it works. The other advantage of the mpc keys is the ability to go in and out of effect automatically... This MPC keys is a beast for sure. A few tweaks to the software and some add ons for futur versions could really take the market.
