How do I use Mainstage to trigger my own samples with an Alesis Controlpad?

I got mainstage to use as the software to power my Alesis Controlpad, which is an 8-pad electronic drum pad, usb/midi.
I want to use samples created by the singer of my band, who is a professional recording engineer. We want to create industrial type sounds by recording found-percussion and adding effects, then import these samples we've created, and perform industrial drum loops live.
can't figure out how to import the audio files.

As for importing audio samples into EXS, this works well for me:
Create a new channel strip. Select EXS24 as your instrument in the I/O box.
Open EXS24 by double-clicking on it in the I/O box of the channel strip if it is not already open.
Select edit(it's in the upper right area of EXS24, beside options). This opens the EXS instrument editor page. Drag or copy your samples here. This is where you assign key, pitch, range, etc.
When you finish editing, save your instrument by selecting instrument in the toolbar>save as.
Hope this will get you started.

  • How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    Do you own a copy of Aperture, perhaps bought for another Mac?
    If you have not bought Aperture, you need to buy it from the AppStore.
    But if you own Aperture and have it bought from the AppStore on another Mac, sign into theAppStore on your new iMac with the same AppleID you used to buy Aperure on your other Mac.  Then look at the "Purchased" tab of he AppStore. It show Aperture, with the "Install" button to the right. Simply press the "Install" button and download it to your new iMac.  Or if you have bought Aperture on a CD/DVD, run the installer from the CD/DVD on your new mac and immediately run software update to upgrade the Aperture 3. version to version that will run with Mavericks.

    How do I use ICloud Photo stream on one computer with two differenet Apple Id's. My husband and I each have seperate ID's but one computer.

    You have to have an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac to create an iCloud account.  However, if you tell your friend to create a shared photo stream and turn on Public Website, he/she will then be able to send you a link that will allow you to view the photos on the internet using your web browser.  You would not be able to comment on the photos as this requires an iCloud account, but you would be able to view them.
    You can refer your friend to this link for assistance with this: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.

  • How can I use Drupal as a third party CMS with ATG E-Commerce Application?

    Hi Friends,
    We are planning to use a third party Freeware Content Management System (CMS) for web site content in ATG E-Commerce Application, instead of ATG content Administration or merchandising.
    Can anybody please let me know how can I use a third party CMS(Eg: Drupal) with ATG E-Commerce Application?
    Regards,
    Krishna.

    I did create a rule to determine if anyone coming through time eval is a new hire based on vacation elig. date in IT0041.  It compares Today to the vacation elig. date and if they match, set a time type indicator to 1.  I also added another decision to determine if they were a part time employee and pro-rate their quota entitlement based on what's in their IT0007 weekly working hours.  Instead of setting the time type indicator to 1, I recalculated based on a percentage of 40 hrs/wk and then updated the time type to that percentage.  In my quota generation rule I use that time type as a multiplication factor to recalculate their new pro-rated amount rounded up to the nearest whole number.

  • How can i use isight camera to broadcast to web with Mac OS 10.4?

    I am using an iBook G4 running OS 10.4 as a printer server.  I have to do this to be able to print on my HP DeskJet 882c printer from computers running OS 10.6 and above (although I have not been able to get it to work with 10.8).
    I can connect an iSight camera to the iBook via FireWire.  Can I set that up to broadcast a video feed to a web site so I can visually monitor the area near the laptop and printer?

    You could use compatible older versions of QuickTime professional extensions for your Mac OS X version.
    This professional quality software is very powerful, and it will certainly stream any video you need.  However, it is not simple to use, so be prepared to do some research and study to get it configured and working.
    To use your iBook with its OS X 10.4, you will need QuickTime Broadcaster 1.5.3 
    and Darwin Streaming Server (v5.5.5) (if you need streaming server functions.) 
    Although I have never used it, QuickTime Streaming Server 4.1.1 might be a useable substitute for Darwin.

  • How do I use my iPad as a second screen with my macbook pro?

    I've got splashtop streamer for my ipad. In school my computer teacher has two monitors and she is able to drag stuff from one screen to the other. If i was streaming to my ipad, how could i use it as a second screen? and how could I do this with any old monitor?
    BTW if you dont know splashtop streamer, it is a software that lets you stream content from a computer or laptop to a wireless device, such as an iPad.

    Splashtop only has the ability to mirror your Mac's single screen. It does not let your iPad work as a second screen.
    You need an app that is designed to turn your iPad into a real second monitor.
    I use Air Display to move all of my pallets to one screen when I am working with my graphics programs on my Mac. I keep my iPad connected to my iMac to keep it charged while I am using my iPad in this manner.

  • How do I use itune music for creating photo DVDs with music in adobe element 10?

    How do I use/transfer itune music for DVDs with music in adobe elements premier? 

    On each computer:
    Open iTunes. Select Preferences from the iTunes menu and click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar. At the top you will see a box showing the path to your iTunes library. Click on the Change button, navigate to the location for the library on your external drive, select it and click on the Open button. Note this permanently changes the library's location on that computer. That means you cannot access your music unless the external drive is connected.
    If you don't want a permanent change, then press the OPTION key and hold it down while you launch iTunes. iTunes will then prompt you to select the library you wish to open for that session.

  • How can I use a web app to provide me with results from a matrix?

    I have a need to set up a search type box based off a matrix. This is a matrix which shows a list of zip codes down the left column, and a list of products across the top, and the corresponding field from a zip code and a product is the freight rate.
    e.g.
              Product 1     Product 2     Product 3     Product 4
    1234     $10               $12               $14               $16
    4567     $11               $11               $13               $17
    5678     $55               $54               $27               $35    
    so the freight rate to 4567 for product 3 is $13.
    Then what i want to have is a drop down list for a customer to select the product, then a field to enter their zip code, and the search result will be the cross referenced freight rate.
    Is this possible? If so, can someone guide me as to how this would be done?

    Throw this open to the community to chip in, but off the top of my head.... thinking of something along lines of:
    Create 3 web apps,
    Product (Fields Product Name & ProductID)
    Zipcode (Fields Area Desc & Zipcode)
    Freight Rates (Fields FreightRateID (made up of ProductID_ZipCode), Freight Rate)
    Create a web app search form for Web App Freight Rates with:
    Product select, with options drawn from web app 1 using ProductID for value.
    Zipcode select, with options drawn from web app 2 using Zipcode for value.
    Hidden FreightRateID field.
    Once a visitor has selected their product and zipcode, using javascript concatenate the selected ProductID with selected Zipcode.
    This will produce a FreightRateID (e.g. PROD1_4567), which can be loaded into the hidden FreightRateID field.
    When submitted, it will perform a web app search for a Freight Rate that matches the chosen product and zipcode, ie. FreightRateID.
    To make entry of the freight rates easier, maybe add 2 datasource fields to the Freight Rate web app for Product and Zipcode.
    Then create a front end web app add/edit (via a secure zone) to allow entry to be done by:
    Select product, select zipcode then enter freight rate.  (FreightRateID can be created and populated in same way as search above)

  • How can I use the speakers from my old iMac (with miniRCA? plug) on a new iMac

    How can I use the speakers (M-Audio) from my old 24" iMac on a new 27" iMac?  There is no jack on the new iMac - is there an adapter that will use the mini-RCA (?) plug from my old speakers to connect them to a new iMac?  Thanks ...

    Thanks again!
    Hmmm ... I wonder.  The input jack for external speakers quit working on my old iMac (it made lotsa static noise for a while when I moved the plug or computer, then quit working completely; I figure something inside the computer got loose or crapped out - and I'm too cheap/lazy to take it the 20 miles to the nearest shop that might fix it).  When I plug the speakers into the headphone jack on the old iMac, I get very low volume or just one channel.
    I don't have the new iMac yet, but I was hoping to use these old speakers instead of buying new ones.  I will certainly try your solution - what do I have to lose?  If they don't work, then I get new ones - or try something else.
    Many thanks for your time!
