Below I'm pasting in the six modules of the MPX-1 and their parameters. You have to find a software solution that (1) offers the same processing and (2) offers the same routing as the MPX-1. I don't have an MPX-1 and I don't have time to read the rest of its manual to learn how its routing schematics are implemented. But if I did I would either look into Max/MSP to take on the project of recreating those audio processing modules or I'd look into Bidule and the project of assembling AU or VST plug-ins that equal the MPX-1 and do the wiring up in Bidule. Hardware devices like the MPX-1 (or my FireworX) are typically extremely good at what they are supposed to be good at. So you can dedicate time to study them in detail and be sure to learn a lot. The same can not be said about software, because software tend to take on a much more versatile role (which is the kind version - the not so kind version is to say that software doesn't give a clue about where to start and will typically keep you occupied for way too much time without resulting in anything particularly useful at all) Per --> Pitch Detune (M) Detune (S) Detune (D) Shift (M) Shift (S) Shift (D) Volume (M) Volume (S) Volume (D) Test Tone --> Chorus Chorus Flanger (M) Flanger (S) Phaser Rotary Cab Aerosol Orbits Centrifuge1 Centrifuge2 Comb 1 Comb 2 --> EQ 1-Band (M) 2-Band (M) 3-Band (M) 4-Band (M) 1-Band (S) 2-Band (S) 1-Band (D) 2-Band (D) Sweep Filter Wah Fc Splitter Crossover 2-Tone (M) 2-Tone (S) 2-Tone (D) 3-Tone (M) 3-Tone (S) 3-Tone (D) --> Delay Delay (M) Delay (S) Delay (D) Echo (M) Echo (S) Echo (D) Looper Ducker --> Mod Panner Auto Pan Tremolo (M) Tremolo (S) Overdrive Volume (M) Volume (S) Volume (D) --> Reverb Chamber Hall Plate Gate Ambience
