Beginner Question: How to add effects on multiple pads

Hello,

I received an MPC One over the holidays and have been trying to learn it as best I can from the manual. However I've been struggling to solve a problem I'm currently facing. I sampled a song and chopped it up onto the drum pads. I want to try and EQ out the low end. But if I go to program edit, even if I've selected all the pads, it seems I can only add one effect to one pad at a time. And it seems that I would have to go through each pad and adjust all the EQ settings individually. I'm assuming there must be a faster method, so I thought I'd ask here.

Thanks,
Cole C

Adding FX to many individual pads is very CPU intensive and inefficient. To eq an entire program just insert a single eq plugin across the program itself, either via channel mixer > programs or in the channel strip in MAIN (eyeball > program strip)

1] On top of adding EQ to the whole program
2] I suggest EQing the original sample & then re-chopping it
3] You can also use the internal program filter, a highpass should do it
Get the filter setting just right with 1 chop, then copy that pad 5-20 times & switch the chop
I believe the internal program filter uses less power than FX
I am constantly using these filters & saving my 4 insert FX for flangers/delays/etc.

Just select all chops and adjust the filter setting in that case. No need to copy pads.

Each pad has dedicated drum fx. Before adding any inserts, you should use those to craft the drums sonically. They take up very little resources so there isn't a huge concern about taking up a lot of memory and processing. Then from there you can use the filter envelope to tweak a little further. Only use insert eqs if you really need to get surgical.

The op's post is super simple to fix but it'd require sampling the section again. Right after you capture the sample, process the sample in the step *before* you chop it up.

I like the op am disgusted with the idea of processing each segment of the chop lol. Though the granularity of that process allows for some really neat chops.

I try to do my best during the sampling, eq-ing and chopping process to make the sample work.. not that that's the right way or the way that works for everyone but it works for me.
