Well, rudeness is in the eye of the beholder. And as I stated in my second post here I truly thought your "thanks, so helpful" comment was ironic, and if it was not I made a mistake, which is **** up and perhaps disrespectful drawing conclusions without enough on my feet. I can see that you took it as a rude comment, though it was not my intention. I acted out of irritation over the countless people coming on here without bothering to read or try anything out by themselves.
I don´t see where I should possibly have been rude in this thread after that comment.
And I aint saying I´m better than you on the MPC, there´s more to using this thing than find your way around the different windows quickly. What makes you great or not is what you do with your head and hands while you´re in front of it, people probably make fire on this machine without even knowing about 1/8 of it´s functions. I don´t work that way, and I got the impression that you wanted work with it as a independent unit, replacing your computer and FL. Out of experience doing the same thing I adviced you to start at the very bottom and work yourself up with the manual as your obvious reference during this.
By the way, I´ve changed my mind on this. Far to much whining and not enough flaming. I´m stripping you for the true story:

First answer:
MPZ60 wrote:Go To Program...Filter and you have 2 available filters you can chain . For the muddy sound you would drop the Frequency on a Low Pass and raise up the resonance until it sounds right. You can set a filter up on a pad and then use the slider function to filter the sound in real time. ( Use OS 2 if you have not downloaded it yet)
Second answer:

djragz wrote:Much Appreciated! Sorry if my questions seemed to basic, but I must have overlooked the manual and Im glad I came to this site.
Comment: As you can see none of the above answers is more detailed or thorough (apart from the resonance bit which is highly subjective) than the detalied descriptions of the different filters and the results they make described in page 72 of the manual.
Ragz makes a first statement about his manual reading:
djragz wrote:Right, I understand that you said to read it cover to cover........and I did and I had a question
Ragz makes a second statement about his studies of the manual
and having read up on tried out the filters. (For comparison and reference, check his first post)
djragz wrote:Im on a MPC forum askin a MPC question AFTER READING THE MANUAL!!!!!! Let me break it down. I read on filtering, I tried the filter effect and it didnt come out to the sound I like, so I wanted to see if there was another way..............
After which he asks:
djragz wrote:Why is that so wrong?
Well, from an outsiders point of view I can´t see how the above answers should make anything more clear than reading the section in the manual on filtering and take a few minutes to try different things out.
This makes me think of severeal possible scenarios:
A. You didn´t read the manual. Your first post might suggest that cause you didn´t seem sure there are filters at all on the MPC 1000.
B. You don´t know how a filter works, thus not getting the wanted result thus making you doubt of the filters actually filtered the sounds and might be there only for show off.
C. You actually can´t read and have some sort of text to speech function you apply on your computer. And that´s no shame, just be open about it.
D. You´re just as much of a whiner as me, but you´re ashamed to admit it so you make up as you go along. Once again that´s no shame in being a whining hag, just don´t start pull rabbits out of your hat to try to cover it.
Which of the above that´s closest to reality only you know, all I know is that you´re partly full of bullsh*t and your whining is kinda kindergarten.
Now your claims ain´t empty whining anymore, I´ve been rude to you, and by this point you surely deserve it as much as I deserve whatever comes my way.

But if you use the instrument a bit and then go back and read it again, a lot more of it makes sense. Repeat that process and you eventually totally get it.
