From Our Research Team:

An Ultra-slim USB Pad Controller!

The Korg nanoPAD takes Korg's acclaimed padKONTROL and puts it into an even smaller format! Offering 12 great-feeling, highly-responsive pads, the nanoPAD boasts a suite of impressive features packed into its ultra-slim body. A Chord Trigger function lets you use a single pad to enter chords so you can work even faster. Plus, the pads can also transmit control change messages — great for triggering clips during live performances. An onboard X-Y pad offers "Roll" and "Flam" modes for the most in realistic grooving, and Korg KONTROL Editor software lets you customize your Korg nanoPAD!

A part of Korg's latest nano series, the nanoPAD is insanely slim, yet packed Korg-style with pro-level features. On top of its excellent-feeling 12 pads, the nanoPAD features a handy Chord Trigger function so you can enter chords onto a single pad. Plus, pads are capable of triggering control change messages — great for soloing or muting mixer tracks, turning objects on and off, or triggering clips during your live performances. What's more, the nanoPAD boasts an onboard X-Y pad with "Roll" and "Flam" modes that lets you really get inside your sound and lay down ultra-realistic drum grooves. You can also use the X-Y pad to send MIDI Control Change messages, to take charge of any software parameter that demands full-range MIDI control such as pitch, cutoff, volume, and beyond.

Yes, small in size — but Korg's ardent commitment to superb design guaranteed that the nanoPAD would be huge in its features. Despite being an ultra-convenient USB MIDI pad controller as it is, you can even download Korg Kontrol Editor software for free and customize the nanoPAD to match your individual needs. That way, you can store four scenes within the nanoPAD to suit your needs, giving you access to 48 notes/chords, 60 MIDI controllers, or any combination of the two types of data at any given time. Plus, you can select one of three velocity curves or a fixed velocity to tailor the nanoPAD to your touch. And, to get you grooving straight out of the box, Korg added a full copy of acclaimed Toontrack EZDrummer Lite software.

Korg nanoPAD 12-pad USB MIDI Controller Features at a Glance:
  • 12-pad controller with velocity sensitive keys
  • USB powered
  • X-Y pad with Roll and Flam modes
  • Control Change (CC) functionality
  • 4 scenes customizable with free Korg KONTROL Editor software
  • Includes a full copy of Toontrack EZDrummer Lite software

The Korg nanoPAD puts powerful pad control wherever you need it!

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
The Korg nano series of controllers offer a scalable and versatile soultion for studios and the traveling musician. Lightweight and lean, these controllers take up very little real estate on your desktop or at a live show, maximizing the little space you may need to work with.
