Hi ppl,

sorry if this is irrelevant to this section but didn't know where to post it.

Anyway, I got a simple question: is it possible to control the s3000 or any other of the Akai samplers with an MPD24? cause I was thinking like, that if it's possible then you could get a strange MPC-like workstation out of this combo.

Yes, you can.

No you can't, because you're still missing a sequencer.

How about a grabbing a simple sequencer and hook it up right in the middle?

Or even more better: how about grabbing an ASR X and throw it in the middle (not sure though if that thing could work together with the MPD24 for controlling it and the s3000 for triggering sounds)?

Anyway, I was thinking about staying on the hardware side to keep that grimmy sound. Still, I think that this combo is a cheap way to get our hands on some phat sounds. Anyone else tried some other combos?
