HELP! Which device to buy?
I have been using Mainstage for liveperformances for a while but i would prefer not yo use my computer on stage.
What i need is a kind of Sample player i guess.
I need to be able to play a set of Roland PK bass pedals via midi and a midi keyboard at det same time. Bass pedals playing a sampled bass sound and keyboard playing different sampled keyboard sounds.
I have looke at a Akai MPC live 1, but not sure if if will do the job or if theres a much cheaper option.
Thanks!

Yes, an MPC will do what you need, though it is tricky as it is not specifically designed to do that, and is in a sense overkill. There might be cheaper options but I do not know what they are.

Thanks. When you say tricky, do you then mean that it will be tricky to set it up do it? Im not very technical so if it is tricky then i need to find another way to do it best M
