Overview

Provides a powerful array of hands-on MIDI control and includes professional drum software.

The Korg padKONTROL adds another dimension beyond traditional keyboard control for incredibly expressive and versatile pad control. In addition to accessing drum sounds and samples, the padKONTROL can also control soft synths, effects, and DAW transport controls as well as trigger loops and video clips. The MIDI controller and drum pad's assignable X-Y touchpad provides real-time, natural-sounding flams and rolls while 16 cool-to-the-touch illuminated trigger pads and assignable knobs give all the control you need.

Each of the 16 pads can be individually assigned a note number and MIDI channel, and you can choose from eight different dynamic curves as well as either MIDI or USB output for each drum pad. The display lets you know what you're doing at a glance while the illuminated pads visually groove along with your playing. You can save controller setups in one of 16 User Scenes in the padKONTROL and it includes 30 preset scenes.

The Korg padKONTROL drum pad MIDI controller also comes with free Editor/Librarian software.
