MPC effects card.

i picked up the effects card for my MPC2000xl a while back. I've never heard the echo effect or the distortion effect, has anyone had trouble with these effects cards, or am i doing something wrong?

The only problem I've heard of peeps don't know how to assign the effects properly and they never actually hear them.. Go to, MIXER, then FX SEND. Choose R1 or R2 or M1 or M2 and turn the FX volume up for that pad and you should hear it. Go into FX EDIT and edit effects there, they are VERY customizable.. Have fun..

While you're in FX edit -- edit: Multi FX1 or 2.......
Highlight ECHO or DIST and press ON/OFF so that the effect moves up the screen into the effects chain.
That could be your problem.

Thanks for the help, like I thought, I am doing everything right...Just got screwed on my purchase...a bad card, only half of these so-called cheesy effects work dammit. Now I'm going postal at guitar center.

I have the same problem... I can´t hear the effects. Is there a tutorial for that??? I put all channels up for fx send and the effects are also switched on... whats wrong????

Payless,

U say you have the channels up in the effects send, but have you selected M1, M2 etc. above the channel strip?
