Korg Padkontrol

Post by Samuel_L_Damnson » Tue Sep 02, 2014 9:33 am

Anyone used one? just managed to pick one up for 50 quid including postage (BARGAIN!!!). Im just wondering if this will be as good as a trigger finger or similar midi drum pads.

I had one years ago and it remains one of my biggest production regrets when I sold it :(

I was a big fan. The XY pad was great for recording automation, the pads are responsive, and it looks cool in the dark with the flashing colours :)

Downsides were that it didn't have sliders and rotaries like the Trigger Finger model at the time did.

Do a search for padkontrol and my name in the production forum and you'll hear me raving about it for years. It's the best, and one of the most affordable. Haha, one of production's little secrets.

I absolutely love mine! Messing with the drum roll on other sounds besides drums with record enabled is toooo much fun : ) not to mention how affordable they are. WIN WIN

Getting the hang of doing drum rolls and flams on the XY is pure joy. I love my PadKontrol.

It looks fancy I want a go. I'm not sure it can be that much better than the padkontrol cos the pads are perfect.
