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

I use Garage band... I just thought this did more that just act as a controller. . . not impressed with it.

[selkirkmusic]

@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.
