Controller question?

Has anybody hooked a Pacemaker up to a controller? Is it possible? I remember a while ago somebody saying they use theirs as a hard drive.
It'd be nice to be able to hook it up for when I'm playing out live. It's always nice to have a couple of turntables to mess about with instead of looking like I'm texting & I'd like to utilise all the cases I have on my pacemaker.

just use a mixer, 2x chinch to 3.5 cable one connected with line out and channel a on the mixer and the other one with headphone output and channel b. is working for me very well :)

u have to move crossfaders for volume left and headphone right, of course.

cheers

I didn't think to put the headphone jack as the second output. Great idea.

Also with regards to using the different buttons on the PMD as a MIDI controller or some description, no deal. However, it is easy to use it as a hard drive to store your tunes. Simply make a folder on the Pacemaker and drag your music there. You can not play the music from the PMD without the PME software otherwise.

I dont think he wanted to use his pmd AS a midi controller but as additional storage under the control OF a midi controller. I assume that was what the Panasonic compatibility was about but never of anyone who made use of it
