KORG padKONTROL: The Pads Are Lovely

The all-new padKONTROL joins Korgs expanding line-up of MIDI studio controllers. Adding another dimension beyond traditional keyboard control, the padKONTROL is the most expressive and versatile pad controller ever!

In addition to accessing drum sounds and samples, the padKONTROL can also control soft synths and effects, trigger loops and video clips, and even act as transport controls for DAW software programs.

I enjoy using the padKontrol with Propellerhead’s Reason and with various VST plugins.  It’s amazing how good the sound is.  Feels like a drum machine, with nice pad sensitivity.

Each of the sixteen pads can be individually assigned a note number and MIDI channel so you can control a single drumkit or map it to control different devices in your setup at the same time

Combining an assignable X-Y touchpad that also provides for natural-sounding flams and rolls, sixteen great-feeling illuminated trigger pads, assignable knobs and a footpedal input, the padKONTROL provides unsurpassed evocative control. Includes, USB cable Power Supply – DC9V battery (not included), AC adapter (not included), USB bus power (when using the USB connector)

Korg pads are the best!
