I need this for playing my programmed drum sounds live. Please tell me how to set this instrument up for triggering MIDI samples.

First off, I'm assuming that you are connecting an external module or sampler...on the Alesis Perc pad, you need to connect the midi plug into the midi in and out from the sampler. You then have to set the midi channel on the Alesis and also for which pad you want your sampling to come out on by hitting it. let me know if you need more explanation. Thanks

First you will need a MIDI cable to connect this to your PC/sampler. Then you will need to configure this as a MIDI device on said device. This very much depends on which DAW/sampler you are using to trigger the samples. There is likely several steps, all of which would be different for any other DAW/sampler, to setup your MIDI devices and then additional steps to add samples and assign them to the trigger pads. This is not the place to get support for an individualized setup. Support forums and/or user manuals for your DAW/sampler will give you a lot more information.

What DAW or dj software does he use? That midi controller is pretty much overall. It really depends the use.

Yes - absolutely. I'm recording all my midi parts in Logic using this - tracks like a dream. It just shows up as a midi device like any other and you can enable and play. Alternatively, load their triple play controller as a vst / au / whatever and get your fine-tuned setup loaded in your DAW, then call up your soft synths via that in Ableton.

You can get a generic "thump" plugging straight in, but it's not very good. You'll need a controller to get any decent sounds. I picked up a used Yamaha DTXpress for $125. Well worth it. The variety of sounds is incredible, and you can add more triggers for other drum sounds. I wound up exchanging my KP65 for the silent pedal KU100. Very happy with it, but I'm a bass player, so I never knew a real bass drum pedal.

Henry - The Trigger IO is just that - a trigger - you need a sound program - like EZ drummer loaded into a computer. You use the Alesis to trigger the sounds in the computer - you use the head phone jack from the computer as the input to your PA.. That's how it works - We are using that set up at our church and it works great - You have to remember - this is not like a Rolland drum module - there are no "on board" sounds..

Its a midi controller not a keyboard. The sounds you make depend on the DAW and synthesizers that you choose to use. Its a tool for music production not a standalone instrument. You can run it in ableton very easy and it comes with a download of ableton and a few synthesizers definitely worth the money if your looking to start learning music production.

Hi , as a midi controller it doesn't make sounds on its own, all you have is rubber pads, just in case it helps if you're searching other midi controllers, cuz it's the same concept. ( unless it specifically mentions otherwise): synth & midi.

HelloSorry late response, it won't give the same sound. It's a real nice drum. Hope it helps

It's pretty abrupt. You can adjust your play style to give it a better feel, but it's a pretty harsh curve. The only uses for this controller that I've found works best is composition and triggering loops. It works well for drum machines, but anything like velocity sensitive synths, keyboards, and orchestras are tricky to pull of perfectly with this.

Like P. Hernandez said it is a great addition of sounds and samples to use. If he already has the Arturia keyboard, he can use it as a MIDI controller in the Maschine program and use it to play the programs instruments and sounds. Also, in my opinion pads on the Maschine MK2 controller are especially great for playing drums and much better than a keyboard for doing so. You can pretty much compose the entire song through the Maschine program and then export everything to Logic software for finalizing the song.

Yes, you can use this to trigger anything that receives a USB Midi signal. Literally anything that is a Midi Mappable trigger or on/off setup. So if you wanted to you could set each switch to a different 808 Drum, 1 for Kick, 2nd for clap, and 3rd for hi-hat... If you so desire.

It's a midi controller so it does nothing by itself. It doesn't generate its own sounds. It sends signals to some other input like music software on a computer. If you want something portable that has its own built-in sounds you would want something like this: Casio SA-76 44 Key Mini Keyboard, Orange

The MS-20 mini can ONLY respond to MIDI note on/off. No velocity, etc. Their is NO midi out, only midi in.

Hey, I have these drums, I'm not sure about additional triggers, you have two audio outs, one for headset and one for output good for recording on the computer through the mic input and an audio in. You also get a MIDI output, and if you have a MIDI to USB cable then you can connect the drumset to your computer and use it as a MIDI controller for your virtual kit, you just have to change some settings on the drums, I never used it this way, but the user's manual has a section dedicated to this function.

I looked up how to set one up on YouTube, and it worked just fine. I have no experience with setting up drum sets, so if I can do it, anyone can.:-)

They are just midi triggers... You could probably have 6 of them hooked up at once. They do nothing until you assign the functions through your DAW

No. This is a MIDI controller only. It is not capable of generating sound on its own.
