Just picked one up, but not really sure what to do with it. The only DAWs I currently have are Garageband and Ableton Live Lite. A manual didn't come with the controller on how to operate it, just a few pages of how to hook it up. I honestly don't know much about production at all, but the video I'll post below is what I would like to do. Assign drums to the pad, synths to the keys, and be able to change effects once I record a loop.

Been messing around in Live Lite and learned how to map everything, working great. Shouldn't have made this thread until I spent a few hours trying to learn for myself. Ableton Live seems a little difficult for producing though, much different from the traditional workflow of how everything is arranged, but I do like how deep it is so I might watch some tutorials and go with it as my primary DAW.
