Mandala Drum Forums

Okay silly question time, we know the midi channel, note and controller information is stored into the drum and the synapse units so is it feasible to control hardware without a computer? If so how does one set this up?
My idea is to have a couple of mandalas and a synapse with pedals all driving a MPC2500 that I would configure for this application and no computer in sight, I already do this with my v1 mandala and drumkat3.8, but was wondering if I could use the newer pads and synapse to my advantage in the same manner.

I'm also very interested in this. As much as I like the Mandala's and Synapse I'm not sure I'm going to keep them only because I just don't want to use a laptop in a live environment. I have NI battery 3 and if I could find a hardware equivalent that would allow me to use my Mandala set up I'd dance. I too use a Drumkat.

The iConnectMIDI can "bridge" USB MIDI gear to 5 pin DIN MIDI gear without a computer in between. iConnectivity doesn't make that model anymore but it looks like their new iConnectMIDI4 does the same thing.

Here is a thread about the first model with a Mandala:
