ZOOM R20 - how to use a MIDI keyboard and pads to create synth drum tracks featuring AKAI Mini Play VIDEO
I have received several comments and questions about using a MIDI controller to lay down drum tracks, and specifically, people wanted to know if you can use finger drumming pads with the R20. You can definitely use a MIDI keyboard to create drum tracks on the R20, but using the pads is going to be dependent up on the capabilities of your controller.
In this video I describe how to hook up a MIDI keyboard to the R20, and then how to create a drum track using the keys, the pads and effects.
This video features an AKAI MPK Mini Play 25 MIDI controller.
