Hi I just got a padKontrol today and am experiencing some frustrating issues. I'm running a Windows 7 64-bit system. I installed everything correctly and even updated the drivers to the 1.13_r6_PC USB MIDI Drivers. The padKontrol is powered, the pads respond, and even displays the light show.
The issue is when using Reason 6, the device does not show up at all. Reason cannot find the USB/MIDI drivers for the device, not even manually. I've re-installed a few times now and still nothing!!! I don't understand what the problem is. Can someone please help me???
Thanks.

Hey I had a similar problem, but I managed to get it work.
I have windows 7 and bought a padkontrol,
then spent about 3 hours trying to download the 'right' driver - the website is very ambigious.
I solved it by doing this,
uninstall all your Korg USB to MIDI drivers that you may have installed already.
then uninstall any other midi drivers you don't need - apperently windows 7 can only take 10 slots or something, and some drivers copy themselves - so if you have any of those virtual midi drivers or drivers for a device you no longer have then go and uninstall them.
May require a system restart.
Then reinstall the latest driver, from the korg website (think its v1.13)
and hopefully should work.
