Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hello mpc wizards

I try to explain in a very simple mode...
I make a beat with drums, bassline, synth, sample ecc.
I want to assign an effect to each of these, for example I want to equalize the drums, the bass and the synth differently.
IT IS POSSIBLE? (please tell me yes! :D )
PS: eb-16 is dope.

No this isn't possible.
The EB16 has 2 FX paths. You can route every pad to ONE of these paths. But still there are only 2 different FX paths.
Not really usable for deep mixing but you can for example setup the EQ of M1 to cut high freq. and raise the lows a bit and set the EQ of M2 to the opposite. Route hihats, cymbals and such to M2 and Bassline, Kick etc to M1.

peace

yeah you can always run your outs into your daw and add effects afterwards ... i also just chop samples in my daw then run them into the mpc and it comes out ok some time

how are the effects in your opinion on the eb-16? i really wanna cop one, rigth now i use an sp404sx for effects (also to make beats with, its real dope for loopin shyt up). but im not a huge fan of the reverb in the 404, it sounds kinda synthetic..id love to be able to add some reverb right in the box...hows the eb-16 reverb?
