Hi, I have an Akai DPS16 and want to hook up external effects to it, like a compressor unit and reverb unit.

I have asked for help on this before and to no avail been able to accomplish the task. If someone would be so kind to give very detailed step by step instructions, I would be more than grateful. Just pretend I dont have a clue on whats what. Thanks again!

you have 4 effects sends on the back of your deck. You would go from your send into your effects unit and out of your effects unit to an unused input (1 thru 8).

If you do this, you will disable the internal effects buss for which effects send you use on the back. It's a trade off that I don't think you really need. If you keep up with the software updates, you will be getting new effects. The lastest being mastering.

I have had a dps16 since they first came out. Bought mine one week after release. The effects that come with it are all able to be edited to suit your needs and they are very good quality effects. I would recommend that you use them and not run external, but hey it's your gig.
