Preset EFX mapping

codee

Nick i have questions. I have an akai MPD 32 and i use the pads for loops. I split the pad bank down the middle right side 8 for right deck and vise-verse for the left. I want the loop buttons to trigger video efx at the same time. I though this would be easy with the preset bank but im having issues. I need access to at least 16 different efx at any given time.But it appears I can only map the 12. and it engages whatever 12 i see. :( I dont want this to happen! Next I want the efx that i save in the presets to save to the deck i have set them too... how do I do this? So when i hit the 8 beat loop on the left deck, for example, the strips EFX turns on and apply's to the left deck. I will have a different efx setup for the right decks 8 beat loop. I'm trying to use as many different efx as possible in my set so they dont get boring. And lastly can i set it somewhere to have ME clear the efx when i load a track in, AND i dont want the efx to save to the track anymore. Once i have the loops done, i will start mapping my efx controls. I use the time dived button to engage serato efx. I also want thos buttons to trigger a video efx. That should be easy as long as i can map those to let say efx saved on page 3. Please help :)

Regarding mapping more than 12 effects: yes, you can do this, using the labels in the Effects section on the MIDI window. There are a few threads about this on the forum. If you can't find a discussion, or figure it out, let me know (hint: B = bank, P = preset, and B2 = the next bank from the currently selected bank). Regarding saving effects to channels: no, that's not possible yet. You'll have to add some other control to map the A/B/Mid./etc area. I'm thinking of changing the order of that MIDI section so that you'd be able to trigger it with a single command - but it's somethig I haven't tried, or planned for, yet. Either that, or I might add a save/load with channel option to each preset.... Regarding ejecting effects: no, that's not possible yet either - though, you can set up an "empty" effect preset, and trigger that on the deck.
