Hope everyone is well..
I recently picked up a Roland R8 drum machine and I’m trying to map its sounds to the pads on my MPC Live running OS 3.0. I’m having a hard time figuring out the proper setup.
My goal is to map 16 individual R8 pad sounds to the MPC pads, and then save that configuration as a project or template so I can easily recall it on any MIDI drum track in the future.
Can anyone walk me through the steps to set this up? I’d really appreciate some guidance.
