The Nanopad2, a compact and lightweight Nanoseries2 controller, is designed to work seamlessly with any laptop or desktop computer. Packed with 16 great-feeling and dynamic-sensing pads, as well as an X-Y touch pad, the Nanopad2 offers a versatile and efficient music production system.

One of the key features of the Nanopad2 is its four banks of pad assignments, providing a total of 64 pad assignments. The sixteen velocity-sensitive pads deliver excellent response to your fingertips, ensuring that your drum parts will be full of life and realistically conveyed to your sequencer or DAW software.

The X-Y pad can be used to control multiple synthesizer parameters, and the new "touch scale" function allows you to intuitively play phrases on the X-Y touch pad, just like on the Kaossilator. You can choose from sixteen different scales and specify the root key and note range to keep your performance within the confines of your song.

Another noteworthy feature is the "gate ARP" function, borrowed from the Kaossilator Pro, which transmits note data based on tempo. Tap tempo and tempo sync are supported, allowing you to play tempo-synchronized phrases and rhythms simply by stroking the X-Y pad or playing the pads.

The Nanopad2 is compatible with the "Korg Control Editor" software, which is available for free on the Korg website. This software enables you to make detailed customized settings, including choosing from three velocity curves or fixed velocity, specifying note numbers, creating user scales for the touch scale function, assigning chords, assigning control change messages, and saving your settings.

Connecting the Nanopad2 to your computer via a single USB cable provides a clean and efficient workspace, as power and USB-MIDI data are transmitted through the same wire. This makes the Nanopad2 a quick and portable music production system that is ideal for playing or entering drum data.

In summary, the Korg Nanopad2 is a low-profile pad controller that offers excellent responsiveness and versatility. With its sixteen solid and velocity-sensitive trigger pads, as well as the ability to control multiple MIDI parameters via the X-Y Touchpad, the Nanopad2 is a powerful and user-friendly tool for music production.
