@Quads1992 No, you cannot.

Has anyone found a way to turn all Midi notes off, to off. I am trying to trigger long samples and have them play the whole sample, but the midi notes on/off, is just cutting out the sample to just a hit. I've searched the web, to find a solution to this, but have found nothing. I'm begining to think the control pad doesn't allow a feature like this. Am I correct?

[CreativeMusicians]

@dj6ixdnb There is no such feature in the control pad, but I would rather approach this problem from a different perspective. An y sampler should have attack, hold and decay time adjustments. Manipulating the hold time can change the length of the note if sample by itself is not decaying.

[jclewitt]

what pedals can you use with it?

[CreativeMusicians]

@jclewitt Simple on/off switches like "sustain" or "damper" pedals for keyboards

He sounds like Borat on some points

hahahah

@CreativeMusicians Thanks for the advice. I have found a software sampler which is capable of playing a long sample. 

[CreativeMusicians]

@onnolab Yes, that's correct.

[onnolab]

do the 2 trigger inputs, kick and hihat inputs have different midi notes to the 8 pads? so that every patch has 4+8 = 12 samples that can be assigned?

thanks, man, i'm getting one to use with ableton drum rack :)
