Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hey, I'm seriously considering getting a 2000XL, bu I was curious if it comes with any effects like lowpass filter, hipass filter, reverb and compression. Thanks for you help!!!

It comes with a low pass filter though.

The EB16 FX board consists of 2 multi-fx and 2 reverbs.

Multi-fx:

* Distortion
* 4-band filter (more like an EQ)
* Modulation:
* Phaser
* Flanger
* Chorus
* Rotary
* Speaker
* Modulation/Auto Pan
* Pitch Shifter
* Pitch Shifter and Feedback
* Delay/Echo: Mono L, Mono L+R, X-Over L&R, Stereo

Reverb:

* Hall, Room
* Large Hall
* Small Hall
* Large Room
* Small Room
* Gate: Gated 1, Gated 2
* Reverse

You can freely assign the 2 multi-fx to any number of samples in a program.

Shortcomings:
-The reverb is only borrowed from the associated multi-effect. That is, whatever reverd setting used in M1 is the only type of reverb used in R1. -The reverb is output in whatever output assigned to the multieffect. Like if you have M1 assigned to outputs 1/2, R1 will only output on 1/2 -Output is stereo only. Turns any mono signal into a stereo output. Related to the fact the the effects can only be assigned to stereo pair (1/2, L/R, 3/4, etc.)

Benefit:
It is a true multi-effect. While low-end outboard FX boxes (Zoom 1204, Lexicon MPX100) can only use 1 or 2 effects simultaneously, with the EB16, you can use all 5 (?) effects at the same time in the multi-effects (M1 and M2)
