So ... what follows is a first impression ... He has just come out of the carton ... Finally ... a few hours ago ...
The best: the look: simple and elegant ... but especially the control pad ...
Minimum: Too early to tell you ...
I have not tried other models ... but I know that this product has very little conccurents and is the only one with that famous pad control ...
My approach was to find a MIDI controller effective and easy to use to create rhythm tracks that did not look too ... Rigid ...
On this point ... I'm already filled by a few hours to get to know the machine ... only problem I can not access the presets come with ... but I intend to fix the problem before long ... oh yes ... the PADKONTROL comes with 250 MB of samples spread over 30 presets ... (Icing on the cake) ... I could get a demo of the Korg ... and therefore know that the samples are of good quality ... is to access ...
The question (legitimate) that arises: "Is it going to take time this plastic ?"... This is the Korg ... generally, and this is also the case, Korg plastics are of good quality ... Here we have the right to a beautiful pearly white lined flank effect "brushed aluminum" ... And that's all, whether in metal or plastic, if you take care, that does not fall or you do not spill coffee on it ... I would come back in ten years to tell you ...
The value for money ... 195 euros for a MIDI controller ... this may seem a bit tight ... but now we have the control pad, a bank of samples, the ability to manipulate any instrument or twelve o'clock to control the machine via the computer ...
and chaining the device to another MIDI device ...
Attention, the power supply is not sold with ... only a USB cable (which is also used for MIDI) goes with (auto power by the computer).
In the end, I think this little machine will enable me to let me go a little more at the drums ... and it is not bad ... not to mention the "material inspiration" when you plug into a virtual instrument ...
So with the experience ... Yes, I would do this election ... without hesitation ...
