I am running a Boss Dr. Rhythm DR-770 through MIDI inputs on my computer into Acid 4.0. The problem is I want to be able to play the drum sounds into Acid through MIDI yet when I was pressing the buttons on the drumkit all I got were the sounds of some VSTi softsynth that was there. How do I configure it so that I can record the drum sounds in Acid through the MIDI (either by pressing the buttons on the drum kit or by using the piano roll editor)?

Are you trying to record the actual samples off of the DR-770 itself? Try using digital audio instead of MIDI. Remember that MIDI is just a set of instructions and not the actual audio itself.

Well I thought there was a way to control the drum kit through the piano roll editor. I was testing to see if that could work because I am planning on getting an external synth that needs a MIDI controller.
