Kronos/Oasys and NanoPad

Hi,

Although I started this post over on the Oasys forum (sadly no replies yet) , I'll raise it here coz it's likely to be relevant to the K as well.

The pads on my O are used quite a lot [for rich chords mainly under pinning lead synths and changing key signatures] and 2 of them are more or less worn out (only sounding when pressed hard--not good !).

Can I set up the NanoPad to take over not only those 2 but all the 8 pads as well ? Has anyone done this perhaps ? How is the set-up done ?

Many thanks,
Patrick

If I'm understanding your question correctly, I think the nanopad automatically sets the first 8 pads on itself to the 8 chords you can use from the touchscreen. It also comes with software. Check the Korg site because they may have recently came out with a new version of the nanopad. I was just browsing those MIDI controllers the other day.

This works on the Kronos but I'm not sure about Oasys. Can someone confirm?

not so sure about that, did not see a " Nanopad 3 " or similar basic pad controller in the press release

Automatically Maps on the KronosX. Don't know about the OASYS.

I think you dont need Nanopad at OASYS because there are 8 buttons...

But Nanopad makes Kronos to OASYS :-) I could not play without it and you can place where you want it!
