Effects
The MPC software offers various effects that you can apply to the pads, keygroups, programs,
submixes, and master outputs, using insert and send/return effects. This chapter can help you get a
good overall understanding of how the effects work.
See Appendix > Effects and Parameters for a list of all available effects (with a brief description of
each) and their editable parameters.
Overview
In a program, each pad or keygroup can have up to 4 insert effects applied to it. See Insert Effects >
Pads or Insert Effects > Keygroups to learn more about this.
An entire program can also have up to 4 insert effects applied to it, as well. See Insert Effects >
Programs to learn more about this.
Additionally, pads, keygroups, programs, and submixes can each be sent to up to 4 send channels.
Their audio will be routed through effects on the send channels, and the processed audio will be
returned to their original channel. See Send/Return Effects to learn more about this.
For even further flexibility, each of the 8 submixes can have up to 4 insert effects applied to it. You can
route pads/keygroups and programs to a submix, which is then routed to a master output. See Insert
Effects > Submixes to learn more about this.
Finally, you can apply up to 4 insert effects to each master output (a stereo pair of channels: Outputs
1/2, Outputs 3/4, etc.). See Insert Effects > Masters to learn more about this.
