@Geoffberner With the disclaimer that I don't know you or your sitch, I think musicians are back where I was in my 20's, which is like a generation ago - we promoted ourselves by walking into bars with our demo tape, by pestering everyone we knew, knocking on the doors of schools & institutions, playing for pennies... some of the people I played with made it pro, most of us didn't. The brief window where musicians could use social media/web for this has closed & probably isn't coming back.

@strayhorse I got myself an Akai MPK Mini, specifically because its 8 pads were said to be good I'd love a kit, too, seems like fun, but I also have the noise issue - I think modern digi kits are pretty silent but the kick will always involve stomping & it would drive my downstairs neighbors insane But yeah, MIDI gets complicated very quickly - for now I've resigned to mostly just use default setrings. Relatively speaking MTP is one of the easier ones for MIDI mapping though
