Korg musical item with features
pretty awesome little controller. the gating feature is also cool.
the rubber is pretty responsive.

overall, it lends itself to be used easily for its purpose.
My New Pads
Short and "Sweet"! Received order in 2 days. I am using this with the Korg KronosX88.. Sit's on top matches black on Kronos. Maybe Korg should have this built in. Pads work great for playing chords. Tracking Pad make's a new way to change Vector X/Y, which control's, Arps, Filter and then push a save button to "lock in" what new sound you've created Reminds me of the Controller Pads contained in IPad Synth Apps. Very usable and need to learn how to set and use cc numbers and key octaves.
Used the $10.00 Korg Rebate till Jue 30th. Have to register the item with Korg first (take's too long which is why I am taking off 1/2 of a point" I think it's easier to get a Driver's License or Passport), but when you have time, I would do it. Best thank's to my Rep, Ryan W! The best Rep you could ever ask for! Cheer's, my friend!

OK for the price.
I like the pad itself, seems well built, the pads have good sensitivity and all. What I don't like is the VERY vague instructions that come with it. And, the Korg Kontrol editor that you use with it is very hard to understand as well. I still haven't figured out how to customize each individual pad to my liking and thus, I've been stuck using the default pad layout. I'm using this with EZDrummer. Still, it's worth the money I think.

EZDrummer
I needed a controller for my EZDrummer software and this tool looked like a good fit. I only needed a few downloads from the Korg website and I was up and running. I especially like the ability to reassign the midi key notes to the pads I wanted!! Only problem is that EZDrummer doesn't make it easy to find the notes you need for each drum. Seems like a great product so far!
