USB/MIDI controller combining an assignable X-Y touchpad that provides for natural sounding flams and rolls, 16 illuminated trigger pads, assignable knobs and a foot-pedal input
8 dynamic curves are available for each pad, or each pad can be set to its own fixed level
Multiple pads can be set to play the same drum but at different fixed velocities, providing varied but predictable performance every time
A MIDI message can be assigned to each pad, and set for momentary or toggle operation. In addition to sending a value as the drum pad is touched, a specific value can be sent as the pad is released, allowing the pad to be used like a button or switch for controlling any function of a virtual synthesizer or DAW
X-Y pad adds real-time control of both flam and roll timing and dynamics
The X-Y pad can also be assigned to control any 2 continuous controllers in real-time
2 assignable knobs provide continuous control of any other 2 MIDI parameters
Whenever a drum pad is struck or a controller moved, the built-in display shows what message or value is being sent, delivering accurate confirmation of what is being performed
Once all the controllers are set to the user's liking, the entire setup can be saved in any one of the 16 "User Scenes"
In addition, 30 preset scenes are included, designed to instantly match the controller to some of the most popular music software programs
Editor/Librarian software for Windows XP and Mac OS X is included
Also included is the Creative Kontrol Pack Vol. 3, an impressive collection of music software from leading creators in the field
