Korg nanoPad mod question

[KLOSELINE]

well you can hook up as many nanopads as you want, they get shown in the software as nanopad1 nanopad2 etc. i was thinking about modding my nanopad and maybe adding some lights. however i havent opened my nanopad yet. ensure that you might need a powered usb hub (even though the nanopad use pretty much no power. i can try to run my nanokontrol and nanopad on a non powered usb hub if you want, however i only have two of them).
there will be an article coming out soon with an extensive mod of the nanopad and bomes midicontroller, whih will let you use the xy touchpad to control more than just two knobs per scene. i really hope people will like this mod.

instantly broke mine when i got it .. 2 days and mini usb got pushed in by falling while usbplug attached shipping a black one for replacment though ... warranty and support response is great for such a cheap product ....i think they made the actual product to increase sales of padkontrol cuz now i want that


anyway if yall want pics of a nanopad broken down to zero ... i can .. also looks like it operates even with the case off.... new case time , and you may have to solder the hinges more they are ver flimsy

[trebleman]

I wonder if i can use these pads and this xy pad on a Diy midi controller....

[betatron]

surely, i dont see why not

[timinya]

i got an idea for you...

you build a little boz or case for both your nano controllers to sit in, then you connect the 2 usbs to a usb hub THEN hide the usb hub underneath the controllers in the box. What you have left is the master usb from the hub poking out a little hole in the back.

I was thinking the same thing because i would like to have 2 Nano Kontrols layed out nicely for the new 4 fx units in the new Traktor Pro without messy cablers everywhere

The pads by them selves dont look too bad ... and i like the xy

Well I can say that you don't need a powered hub for at least three of the nanos... I currently have two nanopads and a nanokontrol and am able to use all three off a non-powered hub with no problems at all.

I'm definitely interested in modding my nanos with some LEDs. Was really disappointed when they didn't have them already like my padkontrol has. I bought a black one and ended up trading it to a friend for a white one because I could see the damn thing in dimly lit circumstances.

I would use the black light with black light ink I suggested earlier, but it works for me because I'm already implementing this solution with other buttons in my kit.

I want to replace the buttons on one (or three) of these and put it in a custom case so it doesn't look like a chunk of plastic crap on stage. Could the buttons be swapped for arcade buttons?

Hey Guys, not sure if you could add arcade buttons... although i would like to know if its possible.

I have stripped down the nano to the absolute bare min that it needs to function.

The pads perform much better without the crappy rubber they were supplied with and they have a clear plastic layer over the top for easy cleaning.

All in all looks very modable

Thank you, your pictures are very helpful, as im also going to build a new case for my nanopad. Do you think its possible to get a longer cable for the XY-Pad?
