KORG Controller, Nanopad2 -White (NANOPAD2WH)

Good

It's ok. I had to take it apart and 'mod' it in order to get anywhere near the sensitivity out of the drum pads that I needed, otherwise the velocity curve was pretty much non-existent.This was not helped at all by the fact that the tiny screws used to fasten the casing to the main board inside were insanely tight, forcing me to go and buy a specific screwdriver for the job so that I didn't wring the screws and render the device unusable.I layered 2 strips of masking tape over each row of pads (there is a youtube guide to show you how) and then when I reassembled the device, I then had the full dynamic range, or at very least a much better dynamic range from the pads.If it had have functioned this way out of the box I would have given it 4 stars, but 2 get deducted for being such a hassle to make it work as it should have out of the box.

Great introductory piece of kit for budding beat makers, comes with some starter software that's a bit of a pain to install but the device itself is almost plug + play. A slight delay with certain programs on pressing the keys, but with others it's great, you soon get used to the delay however so this is best used as either a practice tool or suffer through the mild frustration. However for the price it'd be hard to find something as well built.

I have hesitated too long to get this and I truly wish I had bought this earlier. Don't listen to the peeps who dismiss it for a toy, this is a great creative tool packed with options that are native to all the software I've tried it with so far.

Good product, although the pads are little to hard.It's difficult to play at the beginning but You can get use to it.I think it's little overpriced - the previous version is now 25? But this is were the price should be - 30. 50 for 16 pads...Added software isn't to good (ezdrummer gives You kick, snare and ride sounds only..., but discount for ableton is nice)Anyway good product, very compact, gives me more and more joy when I'm playing it (more and more I'm learning how to play that what I'm hearing in my head and I'm using Studio Drummer).Thx guys.

after spending hours and hours to unsuccessfully register a software from the free bundle (which , by the way , most of them are only for Mac ) , i just threw it in the dustbin. Not for beginners
