Lay Down Those Beats with the PadKONTROL
Korg has expanded its popular KONTROL series of MIDI studio controllers with the introduction of the new padKONTROL. Sleek and portable, it offers 16 velocity-sensitive trigger pads and a wide range of control possibilities for expressive MIDI performance. The padKONTROL's trigger pads are extremely responsive to the user's touch and can be used for a variety of control purposes, from performing natural-sounding and real-feeling drum parts, triggering audio loops or video clips, serving as function or transport controls, to sending MIDI control change messages. For additional onstage impact, the trigger pads illuminate in unique patterns as they are played, adding an entirely new visual aspect to performances.

Korg padKONTROL Features:

X-Y touch pad (based on Korg's KAOSS Pad technology) can be used to dynamically control natural-sounding flams and rolls when creating drum parts
Any two independent MIDI control messages can be assigned to the X-Y pad for expressive real-time performances
Two knobs can be assigned to a variety of control change messages such as pan or decay time for additional control
Assignable pedal jack allows an optional pedal or footswitch to serve as a trigger (for kick drum or other sounds) or as a control source
Controller assignments can be stored as one of 16 user scenes for instant recall
30 preloaded scenes offer full compatibility with popular music and drum software titles
Includes EZ Drummer Lite plug-in instrument
USB computer connection with USB-to-MIDI interface for external sound modules
USB bus-powered
Included Editor/Librarian software for easily editing and managing scene data
