What up peoples? I've had my MP for a couple months now, been having lots of fun making beats..developing my craft, if you will..Now that I'm comfortable with sample-based production, I'd like to get into some composition using an assortment of soundfonts, VSTs, etc..However, I'd like to avoid any clicking, dragging, dropping, or other tedious task associated with composing beats on programs like Reason/FL Studio. I've seen an M-Audio Trigger Finger in action as a controller for Fruity Loops, my question is..Is it in any way possible to use my MPC in the same fashion? And if so, How? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Peace,
Ama

on the mpc set the correct midi channel in the main screen

in fl you need to go to the midi options screen(f10) and enable your midi device. once that is enabled, you should be able to hit a pad and see the midi light in fl light up. you can only control one vst at a time, meaning, whatever channel is highlighted is the one that the mpc is going to play.
