Korg PadKontrol

The Korg PadKontrol was a USB MIDI controller manufactured by Korg. The PadKontrol was released in 2005 as a competitor to the Akai MPD and the M-Audio Triggerfinger. The PadKontrol has sixteen assignable, velocity sensitive pads, with sixteen "scenes" which allow the user to toggle between various pad configurations, and an assignable X-Y pad for drum rolls, flams, or controller input inside a VSTi or a MIDI sequencer.

Use

The PadKontrol is commonly used for controlling virtual drum instruments in a MIDI sequencer (such as ezdrummer or BFD). Additionally, the PadKontrol can be used to control a software sampler Kontakt, for example) or can be used to control values within a MIDI sequencer.

Native Mode

When the PadKontrol is placed in native mode, the user has control over every button and light on the unit (including the LED display) and can use software on the computer to send MIDI data to the PadKontrol, giving programmers a means by which to write their own software for the PadKontrol.

gollark: I also don't like that Matrix is an unusably complex protocol requiring giant and resource-hungry server software even for small installs.
gollark: All the federated chat things seem to be doomed to never get any use because something something network effects and somewhat less convenient user experience.
gollark: It seems like much of biology is accursedly complicated interlocking evolved systems, but also a bunch of recent shortcuts let you leverage the mechanisms it already has to do things quite conveniently.
gollark: Maybe you need a few examples to prompt it with.
