Hi Steve! I would just like to know if your app is stable enough to use on live gigs. I just got the padkontrol and i would like this to be my main instrument on my next one. thanks!
if i can only afford one product at the moment, which would you recommend me picking up, the microKontrol or padkontrol, i have the korg mircoKorg synth, but im looking to make "The Presets" type music, and i would like a physical beat maker. are the 16 pads on the microkontrol extremely different from the pk pads? ive been researching these 2 products heavily the last couple weeks. since you own both maybe you can help me out.
the pads on the PK are larger as you can see. They respond to velocity better, its harder to get soft hits out of the MK. But personally I like the MK. i prefer piano keys to pads anyways, I like the 16 controllers (8 knobs 8 faders) and I really like the 8 LCD strips. From what you say Id think the PK might be better, but if you don't have a MIDI keyboard you should really consider one for playing in basslines and chords.
not fully. Molar requires multitouch ability (hold one pad while pressing another) for the lowest row functions / looping row portions, in other words for full usability you need a monome or multitouch device (e.g. Lemur)
I also would be overwhelmed with joy if you put up a site to track progress on this VST. Even if it was just one number and no text or graphics (% complete, version #, ETA, you choose). That's all it would take! Looking forward to this very much.
That's awesome man. I always wondered why KORG soesn't include plugins like this with their hardware. Can you tell us when you are going to release this? Do you have a website where we can view your progress? And will this work on a Korg Kontrol49? It's basically an upgraded MicroKontrol so I figure its architecture shouldn't be all that different. I'd love to use this in combination with Ableton Live. I hope to hear more from you soon, keep up the good work!
KORG probably doesn't invest/devote the resources to make software stuff but I agree, their sales would double with cool/unique apps that at least demonstrate the hardware capabilities.
a friend of mine has a Kontrol49 and I adapted my code over at his studio, so it supports all three devices now (PadKontrol/Kontrol49/MicroKontrol).
It works with great with Live.. no website for it yet, this is probably the closest you will get to official for some time.
I'm very interested in this. Let me know when it's published.
