The all-new nanoPAD 2 Slim-Line USB Pad Controller from Korg is a convenient, super portable, light weight controller for one stage, in the studio or on the go.
Like all nanoSERIES2 controllers, the nanoPAD2 had to be compact, lightweight and sized to work well with any laptop or desktop computer. In addition, the nanoPAD2 also had to pack in 16 great-feeling and dynamic-sensing pads - as well as leaving room for the X-Y touchpad!
The Korg nanoPAD2 does all this and more. In fact, there are four banks of pad assignments, providing a total of 64 pad assignments.
Low-profile pad controller - excellent for playing or entering drum data
Sixteen solid, responsive, and velocity-sensitive trigger pads
Control multiple MIDI parameters via the X-Y Touchpad
Dynamic trigger pads capture all your performance nuances The sixteen velocity-sensitive pads provide excellent response to your fingertips, and also realistically convey the playing feel to your sequencer or DAW software, ensuring that your drum parts will be full of life. By switching between the four scenes, you can experience 64 different pad assignments.
Create musical phrases using the X-Y touchpad, Touch Scale, and Gate Arp features The X-Y pad controls multiple synthesizer parameters. Additionally, the new "Touch Scale" function allows for intuitive phrase playing on the X-Y touchpad, just like the Kaossilator. Choose from sixteen different scales and specify the root key and note range to ensure your performance stays within your song. The "Gate Arp" function, borrowed from the Kaossilator Pro, transmits note data based on tempo—tap tempo and tempo sync are supported. Together with the Touch Scale, the Gate Arp enables tempo-synchronized phrases and rhythms to be played effortlessly by stroking the X-Y pad or hitting the pads.
Korg Kontrol Editor software The nanoPAD2 works with the "Korg Kontrol Editor" software - available free on the Korg website. Load it into your computer, and use it to make detailed customised settings. Choose from a total of four velocity settings: three velocity curves or fixed velocity. You can also specify note numbers, create user scales for the Touch Scale function, assign chords, assign control change messages, and save your settings.
USB power for an uncluttered setup Just connect a single USB cable from your computer to the nanoPAD2, and you've got a quick and portable music production system. Power and USB-MIDI data travels down the same wire for a clean, efficient workspace.
