Korg nanoPAD2 Reviews

The Nanaopad2 saved my life in fight with a Drunk Raccoon.

By Gumpner
Rated 5 out of 5

My neighbors had a huge party. There was ton's of booze in their trash and this raccoon was drinking it all. He came at me like Mom on Thanksgiving. I yelled calm down little homey but bit my girl, Looty right on jeans. Her jeans hurt really bad. He had Looty cornered up against the dumpster. I went inside and ate a Ham and Cheese Hot Pocket for POWER. Then I grabbed my Laptop and my Nanopad 2. I went outside and started dropping some fresh beats. The furry little trash panda danced his heart out for like two hours. He even apologized to my Looty and gave us each a glass of dumpster booze. He was upset because animal control took his little brother Scarple. This was an education. I thank YOU KORG for making it easy for me to please drunk trash pandas. Looty was so impressed that she let me do some elbow stuff. You guys are the best.

Ok but pretty much limited to drums

I bought this mainly for the XY pad, but was disappointed as there doesn't seem to be anyway to reset the MIDI CC controller assignment, it is 1 and 2 but I need 1 and 11. I am now using it as a drum and percussion input device which is what it's main purpose was intended for. I ended up setting up the Liine Lemur app on my iPad instead to use as a MIDI controller.

is it good for beginners

is it good for beginners
Asked by: Fluffy
For learning to play keyboard, no, it is not very good as the keys are very small and do not feel like a real keyboard. For someone getting into computer music production, yes.
