Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had really looked into the other reviews before buying this. I use Toontrack EZDrummer with various EZX's in Cubase and FruityLoops.
First off, the design is fantastic. The size is great not only for little studio spaces but also stages but also just makes it fun and inviting to play with. The touch pad is a great idea too and with all the midi mapping possibilities you can't really feel limited by having "only 12" pads.
The pads, as other reviews should note, are responsive all around and offer pretty good velocity detection, plus they have customizable velocity curves. The problem is that they are not made to last, not in the slightest! I ignored this when other reviews noted dead pads, and even getting dead pads after exchanging their unit for new ones. Don't make my mistake. I have two absolutely unforgivably sticky pads on mine that refuse to play two notes in a row. Dreadful. While I'm glad mine aren't dead per se, try playing for more than a minute without being able to play two kicks or high hats in a row. They may as well be.
I would recommend this to anyone willing to take a chance on it because it's a Korg. (I did... oh well.) If yours is flawless, sell it to me! This thing is really fun and the Korg Kontrol software is great too. If you have trouble with installation/detection you may need to run midifix which erases bogus midi connections from your registry. Hope this helps someone.
