USB, Midi and Electronic Music sequencing, sampling and editing. Im pretty fimiliar with this lesson because this is what I started out doing and currently doing with beat making.

Sending information from from the device to the computer and seeing it on the screen as a midi signal, and being about to change it how i please is exciting. I learned how to send to, from, and bypassing with the thru-port. Also syncing the timecode and skipping to different points in the song using SPP. If given the choice i would much rather use a synthesizer, but samples are fun to use also.
