Playing chords with pads.

Hey, not sure if anyone is aware of this, but I found a website that tells you where all of the chords on the pads are.

Check it out here!

Thought I'd share it.

Hi All,
Just buy a roland dr5 for $50 and call it a day. So easy to use and if you only knew how many songs were made using this method, you might question your sanity. Wondering why was I doing it the hard way for so long?
DR5 midiout to Mpc midi in = AWESOME

Cheers,
Ian

DR5 is the best small drum machine I've ever touched.

Stop getting automatically offended when you see gold letters!

The Dr5 was my very first drum machine. Then later my sequencer for an S2000. Contemplated grabbing both again many times.
