Korg - nanoPAD2 - Slimline USB MIDI 16-Pad Controller - Black

Product Information

Imagine taking full control of your software – transport, a full track’s worth of faders, pans and mutes - or how about precise dedicated control over the many parameters of software synths, samplers or virtual drum machines. If you are using a nanoSERIES2 controller for an extended period of time, or are using more than one nanoSERIES2 controller, please use a powered USB hub to be sure there is enough electricity. If you purchase our extended warranty for this product, we'll extend the money-back guarantee period to 180 days and the warranty period to 10 years.

To add to the nanoKONTROL’s flexibility, an attack and decay time can be specified for the eighteen switches. The sensitivity is also ok, not perfect, but it works great to use with your fingers wihtout aplying too much force. However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. I bought the more expensive padkontrol from Korg before and did not like it because it was cumbersome and did not map to good drum settings out-of-the-box, I actually like these more even though it's a cheaper product.

Korg does not guarantee this compatibility, and problems may occur as Apple updates their OS and/or new models are launched. The nanoSERIES2 ships with software licenses and discount coupons so you can start making music right away. In CC (Control Change) MODE, the keys become MIDI controllers, allowing you to control any MIDI assignable parameters within your software.

As an added value, the nanoKEY includes a download code for the full version of Korg’s M1Le, which faithfully recreates the legendary Korg M1 workstation.

The pads are also able to transmit control change messages, making this a great interface for soloing or muting mixer tracks, turning objects on and off, or triggering clips during your live performances.

You may not duplicate, alter, modify, rent, lease, resell, assign, loan, sub-license, distribute the whole or part of the Licensed Program, or make derivative works based on what is contained in the Licensed Program.Combining the various modes allows you to experiment with your sounds, perfect for live performances. Pitch and modulation buttons are also provided, giving your performances the kind of expression that you would expect from any controller regardless of its size. However it is highly unlikely that it will be a problem in the bigger scheme of things unless you really want to mimic George Kollias using just your fingers and this controller. The "Gate Arp” function, borrowed from the kaossilator Pro, transmits note data based on tempo; Tap tempo and tempo sync are supported. I wouldn't recommend this, since the buttons aren't back-lit and more importantly - also being the deal-breaker, the buttons are really insensitive and you have to press really hard.
