NAMM 2011 - a secret new kaossilator?
Posted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 2:03 pm
I hoped for a new kind of kaossilator for Namm 2011.
But I didn't found an info on it - at first!
But read these specs from Korg:
nanoPAD2 Slim-Line USB Pad Controller
• Low-profile pad controller – excellent for playing or entering drum data
• Sixteen solid, responsive, and velocity-sensitive trigger pads
• Control multiple MIDI parameters via the X-Y Touchpad
... bla, bla ...
But now:
"Create musical phrases using the X-Y touchpad, Touch Scale, and Gate Arp features
The X-Y pad can be used to control multiple synthesizer parameters. In addition, the new "Touch Scale” function lets you intuitively play phrases on the X-Y touchpad, just as on the Kaossilator. You can choose from sixteen different scales, and specify the root key and note range to ensure that your performance stays within your song. The "Gate Arp” function, borrowed from the Kaossilator Pro, transmits note data based on tempo; Tap tempo and tempo sync are supported. Combined with the Touch Scale, the Gate Arp allows you to play tempo-synchronized phrases and rhythms simply by stroking the X-Y pad or playing the pads."
WOW - This sounds really interesting I think!!!
This is what I hoped to get with KPro for 400$, but didn't - And now get it with a low budget midi-pad
