okay well it comes with software to make it a snap to use wiht like ableton and reason and a bunch of otehr programs and shit but it says nothing about floops. this was pretty much only hard because the manual sucks and because i had to like trouble shoot and shit, but in order to use it correctly you have to like edit each button on the pad with the knobs on the pad. like they were set to go all over the place, so i had to set the first one as C3 to trigger C5 in floops, dont ask me why i have no clue, and then D3 then E3 and so on with sharps if you want, and you have to save that, and then its a whole nother story if you fucking want to use it with fpc, youll have to not only edit your pads but also each pad in fpc so that it triggers the right pad in the software, then youll have to save those presets and upload those presets everytime you open an FPC, which is shitty.... NOW, after i finally get everything figured out and fuck up a whole bunch of times, it's good, i have two presets loaded into the hardware that can like allow me to change from a mode where im triggering different sounds in a layer, then i can switch into a mode thats good for playing basslines, untill i get a keyboard that is. once you get all the shit figured out its nice, but i had such a headache and i got super pissed, at one point i was just thinking man fuck this im selling this thing, but once u figure it out its tight
