 Great sensitivity! July 7, 2010

I found the midi setup in ableton to be a bit of a pain when mapping to drum kits, but otherwise really enjoyed the sensitivity of the pads themselves. Along with the on the fly flam, roll, and hold per pad setup, mapping effects to the x-y pad I had a whole different sound in comparison to my midi keyboard. The light effects for each pad as well as velocity control make me feel more in touch with my sets, as well as make it a bit more fun for shows.
Not being DAW guru I still have a lot to learn about this pad, but find it worth the price and would recommend as a necessary in terms of drum pads. I believe BOSS makes a similar pad, but I've never used it so I don't have much of a comparison otherwise. I've heard back and forth reviews about KORG's nanoPad so I decided to step it up and go with their full version, hence my purchase.
Needless to say I'm pleased with my purchase and the new capabilities offered.

I haven't use the product yet but Amazon had a great price on the white color. Black was more. Shipping was fast.
A steal! April 16, 2010

I had high hopes from this controller (or should I say Kontroller) and it stands up to the task!
the individual 4x4 pad grid is not too big to move around in real time performance and not too small so you know what you are doing.
a red indicator lights up under each square when you press it and I found that to give great eye response in situations where you can't hear everything.
The controllers themselves are very sturdy and durable. you get a velocity indication when you hit the pad on the 3 digital numbers on the top left corner which is also a nice touch.
XY pad is a great add-on to this pad and very much worth the extra money.
The entire controller is super customizable yet super easy to use. you can change banks with a turn of a dial and every botton can be customized.
I am very happy with it. I get great feedback from it in real time.
highly suggested!

the Korg Padkontrol is alotta bang for the buck. although its just a midi controller and doesn't work standalone, it's very versatile. it' basically configurable with any DAW that can map out MIDI controller's using a keyboard. each pad can represent a key on a keyboard. you also have two knobs along with the xy pad that are configurable. although you most likely have to map the pads out, they can all be saved using the included software. the velocity, flam, hold, drum roll are saved onto Padkontrol, so regardless for what you program the pads for, you'll always have this "rapid/auto" function. the pads themself are very nice and accurate. from the get go I had to tap on the pads a little hard, so I upped the velocity to change that. the product itself is made out of sturdy plastic and looks good. it's pretty light so bringing it around isn't a problem at all. it can run off of bus power usb, or a 9v ac adapter(not included). aside from drumming, you could program this pad for all sorts of things, probably something along the lines of video editing, or just activating effects or loops in your songs as well. it was painstaking long to program it, but once I had it was well worth it.
