nanoPAD2 Slim-Line USB MIDI Pads - Black

Very useful for drums and bass

La serie Nano della Korg è quanto di meglio si possa trovare, andando in ordine, per prezzo, efficacia, compattezza e versatilità. Per la versatilità, chiaramente, dovete essere anche voi un po' smanettoni... è un controller midi, non una lampada di Aladino ;-) Il Nano Pad 2 viene riconosciuto tranquillamente sia in ambito Windows che in quello Apple e, probabilmente, con un'interfaccia OTG, anche da tablet e cellulari (anche se ancora non ho provato). Nel mio caso lo uso con software per DJ, programmi di editing audio e video. Su alcuni (soprattutto quelli audio) la funzione Midi Learn aiuta a configurare i singoli pad con le funzioni che più interessano e che non sono quelle standard, per altri programmi, tipo Adobe Premiere e simili, lo uso per gestire delle macro che velocizzano il lavoro, tramite appositi software che si possono trovare googlando per convertire i comandi midi in comandi tastiera. La costruzione è pur vero che risulta un po' plasticosa (non dimenticate quel che costa, però), ma fa molto bene il suo dovere. Il cavetto, nel mio caso, risulta un po' corto ma qui su Amazon c'è l'imbarazzo della scelta e non è un problema prenderne uno che fa al caso vostro. Un buon acquisto a prescindere

Super produit et très bon rapport qualité prix. Je le branche directement sur mon iPad avec garage band et ça fonctionne nickel.

This pad controller is extremely compact, low profile and packed with very interesting and useful features. I also like the feel of both the sixteen pads and X-Y pad very much. The pads are great for drumming with good sensitivity. The downloadable editor software is pretty easy to use( as far as the basics go) but the documentation is a bit confusing, so a lot of discovery through experimentation is needed, but that is normal in the world of digital audio. The scale on the sixteen pads can be set to anything you like, with each pad individually adjustable for any note or cc value. But there are also some preset scales that you can choose from including major, minor, etc. The default scale setup is whole tones from left to right in each row with the top and bottom rows separated by a semitone, giving it a transposing arrangement by a shift of the hand(as long as you don't shift off the edge!). You can also select any midi channel for each pad, as well as choosing between momentary or toggle modes. The X-Y pad has several tricks of its own and gives some fun effects when combined with the arpeggiator. You can also assign the X and Y control to any cc value. Given that having sixteen pads and an X-Y pad is a useful tool to have in your midi arsenal and this is a well made instrument for a low price, it is a must have! You may wonder if you should spend more and get a sampling pad controller. Instead of spending a lot more, you could use this with sampling software, some of which you can get for free. After all, what makes a pad controller a sampling controller is the software. One excellent free sampling program is TX16wx. It is used as a plugin to your DAW and is superb! Another no cost option is the use the free DAW, LMMS which has a built in sampler(the sound file processor) and is an excellent DAW. LMMS does not do audio file recording so you can just add the free AUDACITY program which is also excellent.

Very good usb controler, good quality/price and works perfectly. Easy to use and very compact. You can download a Bundle of software in the Korg website.
