Man I **** love the phaser plus delay effect - create awesome stereo width and makes ear candy! Love It!

Made some really good effects in box on the 4k. I learned that just messing with the 2kxl effects. In box effects are underrated but still wont get the attention they deserve. People have it set in their minds like that.

Lamp was the 4k able to save your effects settings as presets or in a file separately from the project for recall in other projects? That would be cool.

In the box effects on mpc's have never been highly touted as great imo, but I've found good uses for 2kxl and 4k effects.

Yeah - I haven't really delved into the distortion too much - What are people finding it useful on? I know guiltars and distortion are a great combo...Can't imagine distorting a kick drum - but hey maybe I've been missing out - Like to overdrive the inputs from the kick channel into the desk sometimes - but always regret tracking into the DAW with serious EQ EFFects settings - what if I change my mind later and can't be **** going back to the 4K to track shit again...

On certain samples it can sound good. Just a touch of it can give samples a totally different feel. I mainly will try it on strings and horns. Sometimes on rhodes it sounds really good.
