Hey guys,

I'm posting here to try and realise an ambition of mine; which is that I would like to complement my acoustic kit with midi sound-pads. When struck I want them to play Dubstep sounds which I have created myself.

This breaks down into two parts: making the Dubstep sounds, and programming midi pads to play them.
1) For the first I've got an apple macbook pro with Logic express pro 9, and am using internet resources to learn to create Dubstep.

2) for the second I would like to learn how I can convert the sound-pads from my Yamaha DTXplorer electric kit into triggering my own sounds. Will they still need to go through the DTXplorer interface box, or could I link them directly to my mac/to logic express? Is there any special equipment i'll need to do this?

It's the second part which I'm mainly posting here for, as it's the drumming part. Of course if anyone has tips on the first part I'd be interested in hearing them too.

Many thanks,
Adam
