The padKONTROL joins Korg’s expanding line-up of MIDI studio
controllers. Adding another dimension beyond traditional keyboard
control, the padKONTROL is the most expressive and versatile pad
controller ever!
In addition to accessing drum sounds and samples, the padKONTROL can
also control soft synths and effects, trigger loops and video clips, and
even act as transport controls for DAW software programs. Combining an
assignable X-Y touchpad that also provides for natural-sounding flams
and rolls, sixteen great-feeling illuminated trigger pads, assignable
knobs and a footpedal input, the padKONTROL provides unsurpassed
evocative control.
Beat It!
The padKONTROL is ideal for creating natural, organic sounding
drumbeats. Each of the sixteen pads can be individually assigned a note
number and MIDI channel so you can control a single drumkit or map it to
control different devices in your setup at the same time. Eight
different dynamic curves are available for each pad, or you can set each
pad to its own fixed level. This allows you to set up certain
instruments to feel as you like, and others to always play the perfect
velocity, no matter how you strike the pad. You can also set up multiple
pads to play the same drum but at different fixed velocities, giving
you varied but predictable performance every time.
No matter how you set them up, you’ll appreciate the great feel of the
pads. They respond well no matter where you strike them, not just in the
center like many other systems. So you can freely play the pads with
both hands, hit the edges or the center and get responsive, musical
results – every time!
The X-Y pad adds real-time control of both flam and roll timing and
dynamics. Moving from left to right increases the speed of the roll, or
the distance between the “flammed” notes. Moving up increase the volume
of the roll, or the second note in the flam. This is a highly expressive
and intuitive way to produce these natural drum techniques. With an
optional footswitch, you can even add real “kick” drum parts, or close a
open hi-hat.
