@@florenciaignaciaolivaresbe111 when you double click a kit from the browser it will load to the pads. (4:03) You can also drag any samples that were loaded manually to a pad as well. I'm not sure what you mean play by themselves. triggering a key or drum pad should play the sound. make sure your a midi signal is coming thru when you press a key.

That was a REALLY GOOD tutorial, what DAW do you typically work with? I just purchased the MK3, and I'm trying to learn how to properly use it to make beats. I'm coming from a DJing background, and the way I would make Remixes or Redrums would basically line one up alongside the other and record them live. But now I'm wanting to make actual beats and would like to learn how to properly use this controller.

61 yrs as a drummer, synthesizer,piano,theremin, 4 midi keyboards and I play everything at once accept the piano.. my 5 Grandchildren got me into beats. It’s never too late. Thanks for the tutorials .

Do your claps and kick drums separately , drums are heavy and throws the cpu off because they are located on the pads . Notice how when you go up and down octaves on the keys the pads stay the same and if you play a melody on the pads it sometimes play 2 or more pads even if the chords are off . It does that on the software when you use stand alone you can figure drum your heart out because it’s made for it lol
