Funny japanese review of korg nanoPad2

about the PadKontrol i think the only mappable ones are the 16 pads and two knobs, everything else i think is hardwired to the built in function, but dont quote me on this because I dont have one, I did have a play with them though and they feel really great and the lighted up pad led is pretty cool

cheers djzilch - it was your blog post i had read about the nanopad2 actually...

i think i'll stay away from the nanopad2 then as the primary reason-ish i want it is for drum programming.

the padkontrol is nice but i wanted something smaller and/or lighter. i did consider a 2nd hand trigger finger that is a nice combination of controls in a large yet light package.

Very much agreed. . .and I thought I was excited to see gear delivered!

Hmm. . .looking at that vid they may have revamped the XY pad. . .I had such high hopes of that on the 1st gen pads. . . .

It's getting interesting for modding. . .hmmm

have you guys heard of the vestax pad one??? looks sick, has an xy pad as well

[zestoi]

the vextax pad one looks awesome - but should be for that price they've mentioned. quality might be way better than the nanopads or lpd8 but for the price i presume you could buy a couple of the others at least...

Is pad one out yet?

[DjWindzOne]

The Vestax Pad One is not out yet. . .but fairly fairly pricey for what it is.

if it's anything like the prototype I fiddled with at bpm last year, it'll be worth it, just about

I wasn't. . .and I was extremely happy that they made it 4 banks rather than the 2 I saw of the around in pics and vids.

edit. . ."I wasn't" meaning i wasn't @ BPM. . .didn't mean anything negative by that

[zestoi]

if the vestax pad one really is as good as i suspect it will be then i might be tempted at some point but dont have enough cash to splash out on one atm and/or am too impatient to wait

no one else here who has bought a nanopad2? if not i'm going to just go the safe route and get an lpd8 i reckon... (maybe... )
