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.
