-> Most of the korg is undoubtedly the roll control from the XY pad for some days that I use, I use it on any (ass, samples, snare ...) and it allows for variation glitchienne fast, without needing to fiddle with in the sequencer ...

PADKONTROL the ¨ ¨ with its mouth Apple / Ipod, do good to the gray plastic button that sits in my room ... phew, a bit of design, not degeulasse c ... we recognize the knob of electribe ...

Well then aftertoucvh in percu, yes it can be hell (at least I do not care ... it's my choice, I go out ok ...)
Quote:

-No aftertouch on the mpd, or on the pk for that matter, at least not as understood here.
after the video of the demo that was further notified if ... but hey I'm happy with my purchase I will not take me ... why ...

Returning to fader 2, good and well not infinite, but ok assignment "reversed" it's good: instead of "" right click + assign + turns + entry "It's getting" press the assign knob turns PADKONTROL + button in Reason or Live "
So it's not degeu aps

Something that can make IEA IEA IEA is the velocity is not the 0-127 is the 16-127, Personal 0 to 16, unattainable one touch gives 16 directly, I ' I thought to drop a pen on the pad to see, but it was time to eat ... AC yet, but I'm a bit frustrated by the narrow margin 0 (16) -127, which is mostly ca me a tad gene, a priori. The game was very quiet, it's really sensitive to drummer or padeur confirmed a minimum
The big doight with my djembe drums or office is not very classy ...
Fortunately, and I'll finish it:

features are accessible without the fuss and B are presets for months ergonomic mpd APPARENTLY comes quickly but ca ... at the beginning
I have a little afraid of the config korgienne electribe, but in the end, the screen of mpd, we regret it ... mpd with the fader in all directions may be a must for the egg pad, who want to live tuner and detune them sounds etc. ... but after crossing .... I prefer the XY pad, which is a fun little extra that makes live more than anything else, but it's nice when mem,

Here is the PADKONTROL is beautiful is good, Morche ca ... Nine 190 euros a year with guaranteed free software manufacturers EZ Drummer, which is not very good ... but fambloyant

I use it for three months.

Nothing to say about the pads, walk a terrific and strong.
The xy pad is a terrible thing, but not obvious to assign anything other than roll / flam (live ca hard to distinguish x from y).
Apart from that, that's more.

I have not bought for the knobs, but just to hit the MPC, so the rest (the knob and pad xy) is all good and well-ca is complete, no need for more open game on a kit battery, except for the chick.

The hit "pad" that tackle different instruments that have been used to playing the keyboard, but the hapanage of this type of controller.

Finally There's fraud on the soft drum comes with: Can not install it, and I'm apparently not alone. Battery and Reason will do.

I do it again this choice without problem, korg me since I sound ... not too expensive, great quality.

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.

- How long have you use it?
2 months

- What is so special that you like most and least?

Goodies: The sensitivity of the pads (compared to the MPD24) that can be faster if you want to play a tune quickly or if you want to keep support, practicality, design, finish, ease of use (for basic functions)

Cons: the digital display while the bottom there is frankly not need a lcd screen

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

MPD24 only the trigger finger I do not even try, there is no photo. In fact I insisted on the MPD24 for the pad that gives more feeling but having the two side by side, after a trial period, I realized that to use that I made ie battery fast drum and bass or melody, the PADKONTROL suited me better because I have a midi controller with faders and knobs of. If this is your case then I also recommend the PADKONTROL, if you want a more versatile tool, select the MPD24.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
The value for money is more than corect, frankly 186 euros is really cheap, for the MPD24 is also impressive, six fader, knob 8 and 16 pad for 200 euros there is no photo, this kind of controller is really cheap compared to the mpc, if you have a PC and a soft, that you start, please, do not spend foolishly in an mpc 1000 euros.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

My choice was well thought out, and I would do PADKONTROL choice since I had another midi controller.

- How long have you use it?

Since yesterday! And I was waiting impatiently!

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Plus:
Easy to install, easy to grip (APRS not even two hours, I understood all the dj ability to assign and rglages) machine trs intuitive, the design is rather lgant (ca not stain on my desk!), pads (touch, VLOC lighting and size), the XY pad (as nickel for drums [flam & ROLL] that for the sound), under optimal compatibility LIVE6

Minimum:
I have not found except that at all sites for sale, they promise a bunddle with samples and prog, but none of the delivery. I'm not the only one in the case. But hey, I bought the machine and not for the accompanying cd!

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

No, but I m'tais much information between Korg and M-Audio and Korg Triggerfinger seemed more complete and more rpondait my expectations

- How do you report qualitprix?

To 185 (of SONOVENT) I find this rather good machine. 185 only! It's nothing for all the services it makes me! I wonder how I was doing even before you have it!

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Without hsiter, go for it guys!

- How long have you use it?
For a year ending for all!
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The maniabilitbr + /> + being able to make very easy beats
+ The pav touch
+ Above software edition, which assigns each pad

He is not automatically recognized as Reason and Live, shame!
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
No, the choice t wise. And competition is not standard for this type of controller. I had the hardware Korg dj, and holds the road really.


- How do you report qualitprix?
The report price is the quality of the market I think COMPTITE
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Definitely.

- How long have you use it?

For four months now.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

The simplicity of use, the manual is almost useless as it is transparent

APRS Whereas it is good that it is a machine that serves the dclencher VENTS.
While the first use is for the rhythm.
All intrt is purely visual repre we better than a keyboard.

But for me the major intrt the controller from him CRER new features. For example: I turn on a rhythm and color effects in SERIES or die (both effects). But also to start / stop audio with MIDI sequences in energy xt 1 pluginVST.

Finally with a few conversions to note controller can modify paramtres a given position in a VST, which INTERESTED zapper when you want a value of another parameter.

In short, the more digging is INTERESTED and the possibilities are standards for live and improvisation.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I knew the Akai MPC 2000 and I wanted something like the sequencer.

- How do you report qualitprix?

Trs good since I and 120 on ebay

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

Without hsit to live as the composition is too vraimment practice.
I put ten because Korg has given the codes SYSEX for the opportunity to CRER modes that as dveloppeur that I welcome.

Use for 3 months, the pads are great, I have found altogether better than the MPD, and make you want to use them. The knobs are plastic, but offer good grip. The object is lightweight and portable, while remaining strong enough.
Note the ultra easy change of scene, the assignment of knobs on the fly, full of little things well thought out, cleaning up the MIDI assignment to clean up on his PC.

We toured the positive ....

pads:
After 2 weeks, the pad 13 starts a "stick", send a MIDI and do not send the stop when we stop supporting it. 1 week later, the pad 9 is the same.
Last session, the pad 9 has started sending signals alone, while I settled something with the mouse.
Returns SAV two later (and as many months without the controller) I have finally a new unit whose function pads.

The knobs
Fun, when recording with a gradual rise, we see that they do not send 127 positions, but rather 15-20. In short, unusable.

The X / Y pad
Imprecise, too small, it is convenient but it could offer the service.

PC drivers
When the branch, the PADKONTROL not using the right drivers, but those of Microsoft, with which it is incompatible (mood noon syncro problems throughout the DAW, interference with other controllers). We must, each time you plug it into a different port, restart the small software Korg.
In addition, the a priori PADKONTROL inompatible with some controllers on the same hub (note the bitstream 3x with whom I have galleries)

Conclusion
I do not redeem. In fact I even tried to change it when I have it back as collateral for all the problems of pads. In short, this product has good pads, when they work, and the rest is in the worst controllers.

Edit
Back without warranty repair. One point less for the SAV.
Second back with a new unit that works this time. Finally pads whose work and whose remains are still unsuitable.

I have this pad for a week. I had one just before nanoPAD of the same brand. (Not good at all)
Frankly, this pad has been designed by a drummer, it's on. The pad is excellent. With a little practice, you play the "ghost notes", as on real drums.
Enough to have EZdrummer ... Editing of scenes is very well done. Intuitive. I have four extensions EZ battery and therefore a scene for each battery in 5 minutes ... the pads are assigned to each element. The 16 pads for drum from hell that's fine ... it denies. We spent the night there.
But especially these pads ... is happiness. I had a pad Roland SPD20 that met 10 times less well to strike ... with chopsticks! The playing with a finger.
I did some tests with frutty and ca not seem bad either. The XY pad is nice to use. One can for example affect the disto X and Y to the resonance and one begins to David Guetta. But am new at this.
Good for a drummer is TOP. Reliability level obviously I have no recoil. I hope it takes a minimum time becaufe level value for money in my opinion without conccurents.

For how long have you been using it?

About three years now and not a single fault with it.

What thing do you like most/least about it?

Ok its like this once you buy the Korg Pad Kontrol you will never feel like using any OTHER Midi Studio Controller...Period, this machine will never fail you or let you down, the only thing I dislike about it is the roll function does not work to well with any sequencer eg, Fl Studio and Ableton live.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

No I Had been using my typing keyboard to make beats before that and it was a big step up to say the least!

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Ok you could go and get a Akai Mpd Or A M Audio Trigger Finger but waste your money on those things when you could buy this for alot less...

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?...

Yes most definitely without a single doubt this is the best midi drum pad ever on first sight you will feel the pads and the will feel hard and rubbery but once you load some sounds then you will apreciate the softness of them.
