(More customer reviews)Twelve drum pads. XY control surface. Flam. Roll. Small enough to hide in your messenger bag.
I plugged the nanoPAD into my mac, and GarageBand saw it immediately. After a few minutes, I left my MacBook on the desk, put the nanoPAD in my lap, leaned back, and started tapping out beats. When I finally put the nano down, well over an hour had passed.
The pad feel is great - not too firm but not too rubbery. The pads themselves are fairly small, but that makes it easier to work with more than two drums at a time. I'd almost like to see a drum controller with pads just large than the tips of my fingers.
After years of paying sky-high prices for audio gear that always seemed to have something missing, I'm blown away by Korg's nano series. Each controller does its job well and at a price that shouldn't break anyone's bank. Korg blew everyone away with the Electribe series a decade ago, and they are doing it again with the nano controllers.
These nanos are toys - not because they are cheap (though they are inexpensive) but because they are so much fun.
