Got a broken Korg NanoPAD? Try this mod!

Everyone knows how rubbish the NanoPAD's quality is, but if your pads have stopped working and the x/y pad is okay, try this:

The funny thing is, I cracked the nanoPAD in half. Something about my fascination for breaking electronics once they're dead.. And guess what? The X/Y still works! So i basically snapped off the pads and it's a small square X/Y Pad now.. Whatchu know about that?

could be quite a cheap way to build a decent x/y pad into a custom midi controller.

i'm just surprised that the pcb still works after being broken in half!

Wait. You just broke it in half, and it still works?!

That's really interesting. Could you perhaps take a picture of the PCB and post it? I'd like to see if there's a reason why it can do that.

looks like it was someone on that ableton forum who broke it in half. pretty cool it still worked

would love to add a real xy pad by the side of my lpd8 if i found someone selling a nanopad where just the xy pad still worked or something... be better than my usb touchpad + glovepie script.

it wasn't me that did it - someone on the ableton forums (check the link I posted)...

I was hoping that someone on this forum had a broken NanoPAD and was willing to try it for themselves and report back

One guy on my local forum was giving away one, but he never replied me
