The padKONTROL from Korg is a USB/MIDI pad controller offering sixteen trigger pads along with an X-Y touch pad (based on Korg's KAOSS Pad technology) that can be used to dynamically control natural-sounding flams and rolls when creating drum parts.
The unit's velocity-sensitive trigger pads are extremely responsive to the user's touch and can be used for a variety of control purposes, from performing natural-sounding and real-feeling drum parts, triggering audio loops or video clips, serving as function or transport controls, to sending MIDI control change messages.
