Yes you can use the 808 as a controller. Make sure your midi is set to out not through. Your software will respond to all faders, the 3 knobs, all pads both d beams and transport function. You can start stop and scan back and forth through measures. I beleive it will not recognize the transport buttons themselves so you cannot map those to specific function but the transport messages will start or stop your software or hardware. Also you can switch songs in other hardware from the 808. When linked up to other Roland gear changing songs on one machine will cause the other units to follow.
