Return it, get an MPD16, save 100$

Drum pads are just glorified midi keyboards so Pad 1 shoul be C1 (or C0). Just map the 16 pads in cakewalk to whatever drum machine/sampler you are using
 
so i cant just put any drum sample into a pad, i have to connect it to a drum machine/sampler??
 
You will need to hook it up to a sampler/instrument/something, it does not have any internal sounds
 
its usb, i cant just put a sound from my computer and assign it to a pad??
 
No, it is midi via USB. It is just a midi controller
 
Its just to trigger the sounds in your software and nothing more. :(
 
i figured out how to trigger and record drums and snares and hi hats seperately on fruity loops, is there i way i can do em together?
 
You dont need to make them together,in the end you need to seperate them anyway.

I'm gonna follow you around this forum Pinachi until you come and pick up the Dork! :mad:
 
What do you mean i have to seperate them anyway, i want to play the drums and snares together, it would be way to hard to play those separately and have them make the sequence i want them
 
man you shouldn't have bought something that you have no idea of how it works. That's all I wanted to say.
 
Try this

When you record the drum tracks,asign every track according to their instrument.Say you have a kick on one track ,snare on the other and the hi hat.

Now when you record it with midi(trigger finger) record all 3 tracks at the same time.When you are finnished open the kick and erace the snare and a hat from that track.Then open snare and erace the kick and hats, and the same for hi hat.

So now you have 3 tracks playing together like they should.

Thats the only way i can think of.

Or just use the software that was provided with the trigger finger :confused:

Well how am i supposed to learn how to use it then if i dont have one, tell me that, sorry Pinachi i dont really get what your saying, i know how to record the drums and snares seperately, but that impossible to match up with the snres if you do it seperately
 
u know what is mpc? it's a sampler from akai, and it've got 16 velocity sensitive pads on itfor triggering the sounds in different volume according how hard your hit the pad. some artists like dj shadow and kut chemist use it for their show. Set the sampled sound into the sampler, assign the pads, and hit them in "real time".

That was for the performance on a stage, for recording, it give you a better feeling of controlling the beats with your finger rather than using a midi keyboard which are originally designed for triggering piano notes, u play it and record the sound just like you are playing a congo or bongo stuff.

got it?
 
I knwo that, I know how to use, I just need to record drums and snares at the same time! how do I make a sequence with only one at a time!?!
