Korg nanoPAD2 - Slim-Line USB MIDI Controller (Black)
The nanoPAD2 from Korg is an ultra-compact and low-profile pad controller, perfect for entering drum data and one that fits perfectly in front of a laptop or desktop computer keyboard. Using a single USB cable, the 16-pad controller offers impressive control while conserving valuable set-up space.
The pads are velocity sensitive. The X-Y pad can be used to control multiple synthesizer parameters while a "Touch Scale" function allows for playing phrases on the touchpad. The controller is USB bus powered and with the appropriate connector kit (not included) the unit is compatible with Apple's iPad.
Downloadable software allows for custom configuring the pad responses, and licenses are provided for 3 virtual instruments to facilitate immediate music creation.

Comments about Korg nanoPAD2 - Slim-Line USB MIDI Controller (Black):
I'm using this controller in tandem with the NanoKontrol (which has faders), to MIDI map all functions for Ableton Live.
It offers plenty of programmable pads and 4 different scenes.
The only drawback is its durability on the road (touring) over time...

Comments about Korg nanoPAD2 - Slim-Line USB MIDI Controller (Black):
I bought the nanoPad for use with my Nord Electro keyboard, since the product can emit Program Change messages. It turns out to be non-functional in this context. Both the keyboard and the pads apparently function in the role of USB slave and therefore won't talk to each other, the nanoPad will only work when plugged into a computer. This is ridiculous, in my opinion. It looks like a great product, too bad it didn't work at all for me.
