Win a Black KORG nanoPAD USB Drum Controller
For the chance to win an KORG nanoPAD Drum Controller (pictured above) you need to do is comment, letting us know why you’d like to win the nanoPAD. Make sure to include your correct email address with your comment so that we can contact you. This giveaway is open worldwide, but make sure to get your comment in before midnight this Saturday, Pacific Eastern Standard Time.
The Korg nanoPAD is a unique, exceptionally responsive pad that has inherited the terrific sensitivity and feel of the Korg padKONTROL, one of the most highly sought-after pad controllers on the market, in a smaller format! The Korg nanoPad offers 12 excellent feeling and highly responsive pads in a new, smaller footprint. In addition, a new Chord Trigger function lets you enter chords onto a single pad, helping you to make the most of the work surface as you create. The pads are also able to transmit control change messages, making this a great interface for soloing or muting mixer tracks, turning objects on and off, or triggering clips during your live performances. nanoPAD’s X-Y pad offers Roll and Flam modes, to help you lay down ultra-realistic drum grooves. The X-Y pad will also send MIDI CC (Control Change), making it a go-to interface for any parameter within your software that requires full range MIDI control such as pitch, cutoff, volume and beyond. With the KORG KONTROL Editor (downloadable free of charge from the Korg website) you can customize four scenes that address the pads and X-Y pad can be stored within nanoPAD to suit your control needs. That means you actually have access to 48 notes/chords, 60 MIDI controllers, or any combination of the two types of data at any given time. Also, select one of three velocity curves or a fixed velocity to tailor the nanoPAD to your touch. The nanoPAD also comes complete with a download code for Toontrack’s EZDrummer Lite, offering super-realistic, highly responsive drums in a convenient plug in, plus you can upgrade to the full version of EZDrummer for a special price, and a free downloadable Editor/Librarian to help you create setups to suit your specific control needs.

That looks like an awesome product
I really wish I could get something like this. I’m a mid level guitarist but I haven’t gotten to experiment with anything cool like this. I’ve never even gotten to use a wah pedal.
Instead of telling you why I should win the nanopad, I ask you why not?
Sweet, I wantz it. O.O
I probably don’t deserve something so awesome, but I would really love to have it! =)
umm, do i even need a reason???
who’s got two thumbs and really needs a pad like this?
THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is pretty cool, It’d rock to win! Literally! haha.
Cause this would hopefully change my current nickname from Mushroom to
fun-guy.
I’d love to win this, it’s a bit like a mini Tenori-on.
Do want!
I’ve been needing a good pad controller to use with my band. I need to launch more samples!
I want it because I want to make much better beats than Timbaland.
sick!
I’d love to have it because as a one man project it would hepl A LOT!
I’d like to have this because my passion and love is music.
I wants it!
To make some good beats. I’m struggling to make beats in software, when I’m more used to hardware.
Because i only have the white one ^^
Free gear? and it’s Korg! I’m in ^_^
This would be perfect for my jam setup since I have to use headphones as to not annoy the neighbors. I would love one!
I would make awesome music with it :)
I’m a teacher. I teach Concert Band, Marching Band, Jazz Band, and Choir. I could use something like this. Visit our website: http://www.lahainalunamusic.org. You can also search “lahainaluna Band” on youtube for vids.
This would make a stellar addition to the Studio!
It’s so I can record for concerts for a teen support program.
this would be crucial as an addition to our virtually non existent rhythm section… we need ya nanoPAD!!!
Would be very grateful
Because it’s both nano and a pad. Plus it’d be fun to work with on drum patterns.
It would be a great addition to my slowly growing gear…..I would so love to have this nano pad
I’d like to win this giveaway because it’s probably the only way I could own the Korg nanoPad.
Because I’d take it for long windy walks? And cuddle it as I slept. It would give my twitchy fingers something to twitch upon. Drumming on my desk achieves little.
Seriously.
I’d love to win this. I’m just setting up a small home studio and could really use some pad but don’t have much space available so this would be perfect.
Me please. :)
Because I’m the funky drummer!!
Let’s groove tonight …
Sweet Meats and Percussive Treats! MMMMMMmmmm!
Why? because it’d be the scope on my “gun”
I would like the nanoPAD drum controller because… Its awesome, its korg, its black, I can program awesome drums on it!, I would use it, I can’t afford it, etc etc :D <3
well… i don’t know… haha… it’s just… I like it :)
I am an aspiring young electronic musician. I am taking the independent route, which means i have to pay and purchase and feel the weight of going it alone in the music business. I even have a website which i am using to connect with fans and share my music with the world. I also release free music as well, giving something back to the people of make me somewhat popular. But why i really need this is that it would allow me to get away from the stresses of my home life and go out into the woods near by with my laptop, and truly tap into some ethereal musical inspiration, and all thanks to you guys, i will even make you guys a song for your website, using the Nano!
This looks pretty cool, I’ve never really got a chance to play with any drum controllers.
Because i like this product superbly invented by KORG.. and i like KORG products very much.. they all are just WOW..!! i have an AX-3000G, KORG m50, but don’t have this.. if i dont get it from here then i will buy it..
