Don't Just Program Beats - KONTROL Them!

These days, every company and their dog seems to be putting out some kind of pad controller. Why? Because programming beats with a pad is the only way to do it. Just the same, not all pad controllers are equal. For instance, the Korg padKONTROL pretty much smokes the rest of them. You see, while every pad controller lets you tap out beats, that's where they all pretty much stop. The padKONTROL puts real control at your fingertips. Not only does it give you 16 totally touch-sensitive pads that light up in sweet patterns, but it also hooks you up with full transport controls. Even cool still, there's a KAOSS Pad-style X/Y pad onboard, which lets you do flams and rolls right. If you want your beats to have sould, the padKONTROL is the only controller to use.

Korg padKONTROL USB MIDI Pad Controller Features at a Glance:
  • Color: Black
  • X/Y touch pad (based on Korg's KAOSS Pad technology) can be used to dynamically control natural-sounding flams and rolls when creating drum parts
  • Any 2 independent MIDI control messages can be assigned to the X/Y pad for expressive real-time performances
  • 2 knobs can be assigned to a variety of control change messages such as pan or decay time for additional control
  • Assignable pedal jack allows an optional pedal or footswitch to serve as a trigger (for kick drum or other sounds) or as a control source
  • Controller assignments can be stored as one of 16 user scenes for instant recall
  • 30 preloaded scenes offer full compatibility with popular music and drum software titles
  • USB computer connection with USB-to-MIDI interface for external sound modules
  • USB bus-powered
  • Included Editor/Librarian software for easily editing and managing scene data
