USING THE MPD24 WITH FXPANSION GURU
Guru is a flexible drum pattern and loop manipulation software which partners
very well with the MPD24. The ability to map pads to trigger individual drum hits
and patterns on different voice engines, as well as to trigger complete scenes
makes for unlimited potential in live performance. In addition, the ability to
control 8 different parameters on the individual pads and 6 controls within the
MIX FX section allows for great real-time control and manipulation.

We have included two basic presets that will work well with Guru.
#3 – GuruPads – Guru Pads, for triggering individual sounds on the first 4 voice engines.
#4 – GuruPtns – Guru Patterns, for triggering the first 8 patterns in all 8 voice engines.
Of course you can control some pads, patterns and scenes all within one preset but we’ll let you
come up with your own preferred settings.
