Korg Pa4x , Korg nanoPAD2 & Korg Kontrol Editor Overview

Exploring the nanoPAD2, Korg Kontrol Editor and the Pa4x. The nanoPAD2 can now be connected directly to the Pa4x without using an adapter.

[@matiasviera8356]

can you make a video maping ez drummer on reaper with nanopad2?

[@TMCHL]

Has anybody tried this with Yamaha Arranger Keyboards yet? We may use XY pad as a ribbon (pitchbender) controller...(PSR Series)

[@CokrekMusic]

support korg pa600

[@domkumar8599]

Hay Sir, can I trigger 4 pads of KORG PA4x from Nanopads ?

[@mehdiqurbanli]

Huge thanks !!!

[@groki30]

Thanks for this!!! Great

[@justind5209]

Hi, I would like to know if I can assign to nano pad2 the power button of a korg pa 700 because that power button no longer works and I can not turn on the korg ? Thanks.

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

I don't think so.

[@eftim1932]

Can you assign the PADS section from the Korg to the Nano?

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Which midi parameter is used to trigger the PADs remotely?

[@its_domi_b]

Can we change sounds on pa4x with this?

[@DeepakKumarSatellites]

Hi I have Korg pa4x ver. 3.1 and Nano2 pads I want to trigger Variations and fills from Nano2 to Pa4x but it is not recognizing Nano2 please help

Does the Korg editor work with any midi controller with a usb

[@geeyoudee]

Thanks for a great video. You've mentioned that FCB1010 is a good one for all Korg arrangers. Is there any similar foot controller available from Korg? The detailed FCB1010 tutorial talks about a third party software editor for programming it & it's a bit complicated. Plus it says that we need to physically exchange a chip on its mother board to do a firmware update as it doesn't have a usb port for doing the update through a computer. Both these points puts a doubt about the success of the device. Please suggest. I basically need a foot controller to manage few parameters from foot. Thanks.

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Hi Gaurav. You're right about the FCB1010 firmware thing, but it's really easy to replace. I'm the worst handy man there is and even I could open this thing. It'll take a couple of minutes really. As far as working with the 3rd party software? It's ridiculously easy as well. You just put in the numbers per Korg's manual and send the info over the midi cable....done! I've used it with the Pa4x and it works so well. I haven't tried other foot controllers (excluding Korg's EC5) so I don't have any hands on personal experience, however, I've read good comments about Nektar's Pacer foot controller. I saw it at the NAMM last year, and their marketing guy said it could do anything midi pretty much. That would be a good option as well.

[@geeyoudee]

@@KorgKeyboardTutorial thank you.

[@geeyoudee]

@@KorgKeyboardTutorial one quick question. The 3rd party software has similar parameters to choose/assign or is it different from Korg Editor. And I hope FCB1010 will work with Pa1000 as well. Thanks.

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Korg only has a songbook editor. I'm talking about the editor for the FCB1010 midi foot controller. It should work with the Pa1000. Here's the link to the tutorial for the editor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g36tgmB3fbeGg9U

Hi sir, would you please make us a video how to set up AKAI LPD8 controller with PA4x. Thank you so much

[@user-sz9uw7zu6q]

Thanks!!!

[@yon91185]

Thank you this tutorial is very helpful..but I have some problems regarding this topic.. can you tell me what version your KONTROL Editor is? mine is 1.5.0.0 and I've found that some menus are different from your video..I don't have Program Control option in the list and I cant find it anywhere in the apps..next question, can you connect nanopad with other korg arranger keyboards?I tried using pa700 and 600, both don't work..oh, my nanopad is nanopad 1, not 2

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Hi Yonathan..yes this is only applicable to the nanopad2. The best midi controller that works with all Korg keyboards is the FCB1010 . You can do a whole lot more. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYqxf3dro7KKnsU

[@jrf1962]

Could you assign the KAOS functions? And how? Thanks

[@alessandrodeangelismusic]

Sorry.... but.... why do u have to do this when you have the button for these functions on the pa4x panel????

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

What if : 1) The buttons are broken 2) The arranger is covered by the top keyboard 3) A person needs larger buttons to operate 4) You don't have both hands on one keyboard and this gives you two ways of triggering stuff

[@vindsoft]

Would you mind telling me how did you grip the nanopad on top of your Keyboard? I am looking for a solution to securely place my nanopad and akai sampler pad on top of the keyboard to easily access. Does using a sticky Velcro damage the paint on top of the synthesizer?

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

You know I've never tried a sticky Velcro or anything like that. I don't know if it'll cause damage but generally I stay away from doing things like that. I've been using the nanoPad2 in this exact configuration and it stays in place pretty good. I think it's because I don't mess around with the faders and they kind of keep it there. What keyboard stand are you using?

[@laurentverifect408]

Good job ! Do you think it is possible to assign chords of the left part of a Pa3x to the pads of the nonopad2 with the global channel or the Chords1 or Chords 2 channel ?

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Thanks Laurent. That could possibly be the case but I’ve never tried it. The nanoPad CAN trigger notes, and with these keyboards you can also trigger chords in fingered mode. It sounds possible but again I haven’t done it myself

[@nikolaynikolov6944]

for transposer what are the reference numbers?

[@andsontecla3149]

Hello first congratulations on the video, and I would like to know if it is possible for this nano pad 2 to work pa600 thanks.

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Thanks a lot. Support for the nanoPAD2 was only added through the latest update. I'm not sure if this update was also made available for the Pa600.

[@danielurbanija4499]

Yes with a midi interface like www.thomann.de/fr/mode_machines_cerebel_usb.htm

[@hugomayoastudillo4110]

can be connected nano pad korg to a kor pa 600

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Good question! I'm not sure about the Pa600.

[@dyamandanyramirez9580]

Hello, how is it useful for korg pa2x pro ?

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Can it even be connected to the Pa2x?

[@Huhtamanki]

Is it possible to assign sounds to the pads?

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

Yes, because pads are just like Style tracks.

[@Huhtamanki]

Any chance we can get a video on how to do this?

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[@Huhtamanki]

@@KorgKeyboardTutorial im trying to assign sounds to the pads. E.g. pad 1 piano pad2 sax pad3 clarinet etc

[@Panos.78]

This nano pad can be used with a pa300??

[@KorgKeyboardTutorial]

What type of connectors are there on the Pa300?
