Controlling lights/backing tracks with midi drum pad
Any one else do it?
Looking for recommendations on a really good/reliable sample pad to use.
Requirements:
- MIDI I/O over USB (MacBook Pro compatible)
- small (not looking for an Octopad)
- 2 pad minimum
- sub $300
- no crosstalk issues (I don't want a vibration from my floor tom to trigger the pad that is programmed to jump to the next track in my playlist)
So far, it looks like the Alesis Sample Pad 4 is my best option. Anybody use one of these for externally controlling something via MIDI I/O? Any issues with it?
