New to the MPC production world? Got a music production question that's not really specific to any particular MPC? Try your luck here and get help from our experienced members.

All right, so the other day I got an Akai MPD18, 'cause I've wanted a decent pad controller for quite some time now. I've tried using it with both Renoise and NI Battery, but neither worked quite how I wanted them to (for whatever reason, Battery wasn't recognizing Pad 1).

So, here's my question. I need a decent software sampler. Ideally, I'd like it to have a similar look & feel to the MPC; I remember someone on this board was working on something like that, but it seems the project just disappeared.

I'd like it if the sampler was lightweight too. For now, I'm running everything on a netbook, so I can't have anything super-demanding. This is also why I'd especially prefer something that was freeware.

If anyone knows any good ones, please let me know. Thanks!

I think you dont need another software. I think you need to read the manuals.
BTW there is no software samlper that offers all your wishes. Especially no free one.

Turns out Ableton Live works best. With Renoise, it sort-of works (I can map everything to a pad) but I don't like/know how to change having to hold the pads down to fully play a sample. (I should probably read the manual on that one.)
