you still need one controller per pad, and what's the use?
Why trying to emulate something that isn't there. A pad from say a spd20
or trixer is to small, so no zoning possible
Take a Yamaha A3000 and assign 6 controllers up to velocity, that makes a
hell off nice sounds!! believe me, no music, but nice noise haahaaha
Joking, this really works great
