AKAI Pad 16

Just remember to select the midi track in live that you want to be jamming on...

Its also a good mute/solo/switch pad if you jam with live on the fly.

Highly recommended as a present dood...

Could you assign the Pads to sounds (via midi) in Impulse and record the live drum programming to midi?

My girlfriend and i were just watching some live linkin park concert on tv, and she saw the plethora of MPC16's they use. It reminded her of when she first moved in and i was using an MPC about 2 years ago. I'd wake her up writing music in the middle of the night making music, but it wasn't from the sound coming from the speakers, i was using the headphones. She could hear me banging away on my MPC2000XL's pads at 4am. ha! Anyways she asked if the MPD16 would make a good gift for me, and that kind of depends on what i can do with them in Live.

i cant seem to route the triggers of impulse sounds to keys or midi... maybe theres another way to do it?
so is this possible? if so, could someone explain it?

Yea I saw that to, the DJ has like 2 MPC16's linedup for there one shots. They look pretty nice so I think im gonna get one.
