midi on Sp808

[therealdune]

Just got my Sp 808 and i would like to use the pads on it with midi, i.e.-on my mpc i can essentially use it as a midi controller with ableton live 9 suite. Is that possible with the 808? I can control custom drum racks that way, i would love to do this with the sp as well. Any help greatly appreciated

im a noob with the sp808 but not the 202 & 303-too bad that doesnt apply here haha
