Was doing the same kinda thing with my laptop but trying to simplify.I turned and old iPhone into an iPod, with the SampL app, a MIDI to lightning converter (made by Korg) and use a Morningstar 6 MIDI controller to trigger samples. It’s stereo, so one could make MP3 tracks and play the click on one side and the sample on another.
I just use it to trigger samples, and I run it through my AXE FX III as well.
Looked at this n Amazon - pretty much what I'm looking for. Might give it shot given the return policy.Akai mp8?
But you need the Machine 3+ for working without PC or Mac (Standalone)
The old iPhone 8 is very small, and the Korg adapter as well. I have it mounted in my rack, so it takes up very little room, and just plug in the cable to my rack and it’s ready to go. Very small and simple.Was doing the same kinda thing with my laptop but trying to simplify.
