Hey everyone,
I was wondering, with my MPD26, I could trigger samples from an external hardware sampler like the S1000 (or something of the sort). I don't want a PC involved at all.

I've seen enough videos to know that the MPC is compatible with the S1000 and other hardware samplers, but I just don't have the bucks to get one right now. Can the MPD be used in the same way?

Thanks a lot,
Derrick

you can trigger samples with the MIDI controller, but you're still going to need a sequencer if you intend on doing anything other than just triggering sounds in real-time.

Your going to need to buy an extra Ac adapter though to run power through
your Mpd26.

that's incorrect:
MIDI OUT of the MPD (with ac adapter to power it) to MIDI IN of the s1000
