help Korg nanoPAD2 FAQ
How many pads does the Korg nanoPAD2 actually have?
The nanoPAD2 has 16 velocity-sensitive trigger pads, not six. Four selectable scenes provide 64 pad assignments without adding more physical pads.
What can the nanoPAD2 X-Y touchpad control?
The touchpad can transmit MIDI control data for two parameters at once, such as pitch and modulation or two software-effect controls. Its Gate Arp function can also turn pad input into tempo-based note patterns.
Does the Korg nanoPAD2 make sound by itself?
No, it is a USB MIDI controller without internal sounds, speakers, or an audio output. It must trigger instruments or samples in software such as Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, or a compatible mobile app.
Can pad notes and MIDI messages be reassigned?
Yes, Korg's free KONTROL Editor can change note numbers, control messages, and scene assignments. This is useful when matching the 16 pads to a drum rack whose default note layout differs from Korg's factory mapping.
