All user reviews of 3/5 for the Korg PadKONTROL

MIDI controller and USB
Connections MIDI IN and OUT, USB, expression pedal
16 velocity-sensitive pads and the velocity of light
two buttons and two knobs assignable to any MIDI parameter


I use it for two years, I tried afterwards to m-audio trigger finger. I tried the same type with the pads 25 of the axiom.

It is very easy to use, the pads have a good light sensitivity, when they do not remain switched on ... The sensitive pad x / y is a good contribution from other control surfaces.

What bothers me most is that all pads are switched to the right after you press it, sometimes for ten seconds, despite the dismantling and cleaning, it restricts a lot the game ..

I do not have that choice would do on occasion, may be new.
The trigger finger (as well as the pads of the axiom) looks much more robust but less fun side pads bright and has no pad x / y. It is no longer I think.

NB: only used USB "MIDI Learn" so no opinion on the advanced MIDI programming (seen from afar, it looks to be fairly complete at this level, more configurable than the trigger finger for example).

It's been one month that I use.
I have trouble finding CHARACTERISTICS I like.
on the other hand I do not like:
- Display 3 characters!
- Pads: too small and not so prcis Sentits that ca (even 127).
- The two knobs that are super cheap, they could have put "endless" this award lbr /> - the XY rev limit unnecessary or even use without software edition.
Unfortunately, I did not test for other models before buying, but I should have ...
I find the plasticky finish trs questionable for the price.
I think PK is trs East "software" is not appropriate at all (IMHO) to control a sampler or squenceur hardware without going through the pc.
I would do probably do not have that choice, I would prfrerais mpd 24 for one that I use: c - ie mainly hardware.
