Do any of you use the effects board for the MPC? If so, how do you like it and where can I get one from?

ill sell you mine, i never use it to be honest. most of the effects will only work with alot of distorion and gain.

Effects within the MPC are only good for demo's. I can't see anyone in their right mind using that effects processor over a reverb unit etc... when mixing

I think the effects are great. I find that most people either do not know how to properly use effects and/or just try to use the presets.

It is the same effects engine that Akai has used for many years in their S-series samplers. I never hear S-series users complain about the effects board. S-series users tend to be hardware oriented and very experienced.

I keep telling people it's the little card with a big heart.
No one listens, but that's cool.
:roll:

I agree. After your recommendations I copped it and I must say I like it. You can do a LOT with the card. Just can't be closed minded about it

I have one. It's OK to make a quickly job. No one FX could be sync to MIDI.

While it's possible with regards to the 8 outs, things will be a little tricky - They are not the natural 8 outs built for the MPC Series. I have heard about custom jobs but thats another story

delays phasers and flangers WITHOUT syncing them to MIDI Clock ?

SOUNDS LIKE A REAL PIECE OF CRAP :shock:

"delays phasers and flangers WITHOUT syncing them to MIDI Clock ?

SOUNDS LIKE A REAL PIECE OF ****"

You mean like the way they did it for 30 years before midi sync effects became common the 90's?

Anyone with 6th grade math can manually set effects to match whatever BPM is used.

i think that might content on what stuff you're producing, for my Liveacts IMHO would be nearly impossible to care about the syncing th effects all the time (i really have much more "work"on stage to do) ... i prefer extern effect hardware gear, i love my TC's :wink:
