Anyone familiar with how to set-up an ALESIS Control Pad. I am trying to use the "brain" from a Simmons Sd9k via MIDI and can't seem to program all the pads and outputs properly(the manual isn't helping me out much) ....not really wanting to spend more money but as a last resort I could use a laptop via USB/MIDI--if so, what software program would you recommend? I am really wanting to incorporate this with my acoustic kit and any help is greatly appriciated. Thank you in advance.
