Akai LPD8 with Logic Pro

Or, to be more specific, a test involving an Akai Professional LPD8 Laptop Pad Controller with Logic Pro 8's UltraBeat drum sequencer. If you want an mp3 for whatever reason, again, just ask.

How did you trigger the kick and high hat loops with the pad???

[Goomba4001]

@jatinpuri The Ultrabeat instrument has triggered loops. SFLogicNinja has a good tutorial on it- it's where I learned how to do it.  XD

@srmrmatt When editing MIDI, change "Piano Roll" at the bottom of the screen to "Score"- you should be a lot more comfortable with that. You don't necessarily have to use loops- you can just make one very, very long MIDI region that you can place all of your notes in, if it is easier.

@Goomba4001 Hehe...fair enough brother. Let me just throw this at you: do you know any good ways to go from understanding the "sheet music" model of music making to getting into and being able to play what's in your head using loops? Sorry to be such a goon here, totally being lazy and not RTFM'ing, I know...just hoping you might have some pointer somewhere to save me a little hunting.
