Subject description: controller to trigger loops or audio samples for live performance
Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

Hello! I'm new here. I have a thorough understanding of old analog synth technology, and IT in general, but my understanding of MIDI, controllers, and currently available software for this is way out of date.

I am a guitar player in a church praise band, and would like to set up a laptop or tablet with software that would allow us to use some sort of controller to trigger midi or pre-recorded audio tracks as we're playing. I have Guitar Tracks Pro on my home PC, and an old BOSS DR-5 Rhythm machine made for guitar players. I can connect the BOSS to my PC and set up GTP to use the midi out of the BOSS to play a synth track, but I'd like to use the BOSS to start/stop various tracks that I have previously set up. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this.

Is there a relatively inexpensive solution for either a Windows PC or Android laptop that would allow connecting some type of pad controller, such as a Akai Element, to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!
Scott Bell
