Korg nanoPAD2 Slim-Line USB Controller (Black)

The Korg nanoPAD2 is a compact, and lightweight controller and is designed to work well with any laptop or desktop computer. The nanoPAD2 packs in 16 great-feeling and dynamic-sensing pads – as well as an X-Y touchpad! It also features four banks of pad assignments, providing a total of 64 pad setups.

Dynamic Trigger Pads

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.

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 travel down the same wire for a clean, efficient workspace.

Create Musical Phrases using the X-Y Touchpad, and Touch Scale Function

The X-Y pad can be used to control multiple synthesizer parameters. The new Touch Scale function lets you intuitively play phrases on the X-Y touchpad, just as on the kaossilator. You can choose from sixteen different scales, and specify the root key and note range to ensure that your performance stays within your song.

Gate Arp Function

The Gate Arp function, borrowed from the kaossilator Pro, transmits note data based on tempo; Tap tempo and tempo sync are supported. Combined with the Touch Scale, the Gate Arp allows you to play tempo-synchronized phrases and rhythms simply by stroking the X-Y pad or playing 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 customized 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.
