The Ultimate Compact Drum Controller

The Korg nanoPad 2 USB MIDI controller takes the Korg nano-series to the next level. Sporting a new and improved design, the 16 percussion pads are more responsive and expressive than ever before. Four user-programmable Scenes give you access to 64 pad assignments for a ton of control in a small package. New to the nanoPad series is the Touch Scale function, which gives you the power to play notes and scales from the X-Y pad! You can also assign chords to any of the pads for ultimate control over any software instrument, not just drums! And for recording and live performance alike, the new Gate-arp function lets you play tempo-sync'd phrases and rhythms just by holding a pad or touching the X-Y pad. All of these features would be impressive on a controller of any size - the added portability and durability of the Korg nanoPad 2 makes it the ideal controller for today's mobile musician.

Very good pad controller for drums

I bought this to expand the limited 8 pads on my Nektar keyboard midi controller for better control of the Kong Drum Designer in Reason and for other drum programs, etc. in a home studio environment.

With its small footprint, easily fits on my small desktop and is light enough to travel with.

The pads are responsive, consistent and accurate. The installation software integrated with Reason and the Korg Control Editor is there for deep programming if needed.

Having already purchased the Korg nanoKey2 from Sweetwater last week, these will fulfill my midi control needs for quite some time.

Comes bundled with free software programs/plug-ins which I will most likely not explore.

Great Drum Pads for production!

YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT THIS WITH A STICK!!! Great Handling for the price get drums laid out quick! Works just as good as the over priced stuff like mpc has!! I have had some over priced stuff over the years had to sell due to money issues and decided to give up the music production game!!! BUT I ran across this nano pad 2 and angels began to sing!!!! I just had to have it! I have fallen in love with it. I don't want it out of my sight!

Tough and Reliable

Pretty much speechless.. Best velocity sensitive buttons that are a tad smaller than the norm but this thing is transportable and durable. Expression pad with a touch scale plus arpeggiator on hold is great! Everything at your fingertips.. Speechless because I'm busy playing
