Some questions about the AKAI MPD18 controller

Hello.

I am the owner of a MacBook Pro with which I make my DJ sets with Live.

The MBP has 2 USB ports linked to a Evolution UC-33E and an M-Audio O2.

What I want to do is to use a sampler like the AKAI MPD18 to insert some tracks (jingles) into its memory and recall them by pushing one of its 16 buttons.

(I think that's its destiny, or am I doing wrong?)

My main problem is that I have no other USB ports available.

How can I solve this problem?

Could you please tell me:

- If it's true that I can insert jingles into the MPD18's memory and recall them with the above instructions

- If a method for linking it to my MBP exists

Thanks!!!

The MPD18 is merely a controller and has no sampling capability

USB HUB = success

mpd has no memory, all sounds come from live.

READING IS FUNDAMENTAL
