However, in answer to your question, the mpd24, which I have one, is no more than a control that sends midi information to you devices. Which means that in order for it to trigger any type of sound or event, that sound or event has to first be mapped to a particular address. Meaning, any sound you put on C3 will be triggered by the corresponding C3 key from the MPD. While you do have alot of flexibility as to which type of event many of the knobs, pads and buttons on the MPD will trigger, most of this is edited either on the mpd itself or in your software. As far as I know, there is no MPD software that will allow you to drag and drop events to correspond with certain keys of the mpd. Not yet anyway. We'll hope for the future.
