How Do I play Sound Samples On A Midi Controller

I just purchased the Korg NanoKey2. I've seen people make pretty great remixes using a Launchpad and Ableton.

Is there a way to do that kind of stuff on LMMS. How?

midi-keyboard.

For samples use AFP

Does that do it? 'dont know what a 'launchpad' is :p

Try a sampler plugin like these: http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/4-o ... ins-616807

Load one in LMMS as VST and map your sounds inside it.

I wasn't able to get them to work. Do you know any in-depth tutorials or videos?

Which samplers have you tried ? Did your samples load into them o.k. ? What format are your sound samples in .ogg, .wav etc ? What sort of sounds are they ? What happens when you tried to play them ?

Just "wasn't able to get them to work" isn't really giving us much to go on.
