You might be referring to what I've been calling "internal program changes". I'm more interested in swapping keygroup programs for different articulations, but would also be interested in patch changes for plugins. And I want to do it from within the MPC, on the track, like automation.

Use the Audio Tracks and you can assign 4 effects per Audio Track.

1. Press the Audio Tab
2. Then Press the eye
3. Then press the input tab (Looks like a waveform.)
4. Next click the insert and select your effects and tweak.
5. After that press the 3 bar ICON aka Sequencer page.

On there you'll see all your audio tracks. Then all you have to do is press the Monitor button to IN, make sure all the other audio tracks monitor buttons are turned off.

When you finish song one and go to song 2. All you have to do is turn off the monitor on Audio Track one, then turn on the monitor for audio track 2. Then just repeat this. You can use up to 8 audio tracks.

Once you setup your effects, make sure you save the project. So you don't have to set it up again. After start another project and do it again, for different sets.

Other Tip: Name the Audio Track after the song, the effects are for, this way it's easy to know what effects
combination goes to what song.

Second way - i can use track automation and tune the effect on each song.
But it's not easy too)))))


The way I listed, just seem hard. But it's really easy. Once everything is setup, all you're doing at that point is turning the effects on and off. This is the screen and in the YELLOW are the IN AND OUT, if you're not familiar with the layout. I use it all the time for playing Keys, Guitar/Bass or Turntablism. Tap the button once for IN and Tap twice for OFF.

Cool thing is you can turn on multi audio tracks and stack the effects. Possible 32 effects at once. :lol:
