hey….download fruity loops 7 or which ever one then go to fruity loops then go to midi settings then hit enable on evry audio device then go to plugin presets then go to generartors then go to FPC then right click empty then select it to the channel then drag your drums to the pads.

LANRE. It is just a controller. U will need a mixer of some sort that is connected to your computer to sample from a piece of hardware. Think of it this way. An MPC is a sampler with pads. These are just the pads and the computer is the actual sampler.

hey KSTYLES,
First, to get your application to recognize the midi inputs; right click and assign to controller….move the knob, slider, etc…done deal. that pattern sequence thing your speaking of is easily accomplished. I haven’t acquired the MPD24 yet, but i do have the MPD16. Regardless using Reason or FL you will play out each section, the MPD wont play it, its MIDI its only sending information, not notes, the sequencer your using is doing that for you. start recording, bang out your pattern, go to a new track (or instrument) while the other tracks are playing bang out another and so on. Individually go in and tweak the patterns for timing. I work my pads like a MPC utilizing DR REX, sampler editors, and the MPD utility.

hope that helps.
