padKONTROL Owner’s Manual
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the padKONTROL MIDI studio controller. To take advantage of everything the padKONTROL has to offer, and to enjoy your padKONTROL to the fullest, please read this manual carefully and use your new padKONTROL only as directed. Please keep this manual for future reference.
Main features
The padKONTROL is a versatile and convenient pad-based MIDI controller that is ideally suited for creating rhythm tracks. It provides sixteen illuminated, velocity sensitive and great-feeling trigger pads, as well as an X-Y pad, an assignable pedal jack, and two assignable knobs for dynamic realtime control. With this flexible array of control elements, the padKONTROL is an e xcellent choice f or freely controlling not only software synthesizers b ut also external MIDI sound modules or any other music device.
■ 16 trigger pads
When note messages are assigned to these trigger pads, they can transmit either a “fix ed” v elocity, or the velocity message can vary in proportion to how each pad is struck, allowing drum patterns to be played in realtime using expressive dynamics. Alternatively, control change messages may be assigned to the pads for use as transport controls - or any other type of control switch.
■ Pedal jack
A foot pedal connected to the padKONTR OL can be assigned to send either a note message or a control change message - just like the trigger pads. By assigning a note that plays a bass drum sound, drum patterns can be played in a natural-feeling way, just as if a real kick drum was being used.
■ X-Y pad
A variety of control change messages may be assigned to this pad, for example Pitch Bend to the X-axis and Reverb Depth to the Y-axis. The unique Roll and Flam functions can instantly adjust the speed and velocity of a roll, or the flam velocity and spacing. This provides even more potential for highly natural and dynamic control.
■ Two assignable knobs
A variety of control change messages (Pan, Delay Time, etc.) can be assigned to these knobs.
■ Sixteen user memories
Once assignments have been made for the trigger pads and other controllers, these settings can be sa v ed in one of the padKONTROL’s sixteen internal user memories as a “scene.” The trigger pads can be used to instantly switch between the sixteen saved scenes. The padKONTROL provides preloaded scenes that are set up ideally for popular drum sound software programs and modules.
■ USB-MIDI interface functionality
The padKONTROL can function as a USB-MIDI interface. An external MIDI sound module that does not have a USB connector can be connected to your computer via the padKONTROL’s USB connector to send and receive MIDI data directly.
■ Bus power is supported
The padKONTROL’s USB connector allows it to be powered directly from a compatible USB bus. When the pad­KONTROL is connected to a computer via USB, there’s no need to supply power via the AC adapter.
■ Editor/Librarian software is included
The included Editor/Librarian software lets you use your computer to edit and manage scene data. This software is seamlessly linked with the padKONTR OL, making it easy f or y ou to create y our o wn original scenes, and to set up the padKONTROL ideally for your needs.

Never turn off the power while settings are being saved (written). Doing so may damage the internal data.
If you’re using a USB connection, the data from the computer is transmitted from the padKONTROL’s MIDI OUT connector. MIDI messages generated by operating the padKONTROL’s trigger pads and X-Y pad will not be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector. (p.28)
MIDI connections
1 Connect the plug of the optional AC adapter to the
padKONTROL’s power connector, and plug the adapter into an AC outlet.
2 Use a MIDI cable to connect the padKONTROL to your
external MIDI sound module. If you want to use an optional pedal, connect it to the pedal jack.
The padKONTROL detects the polarity of the pedal when the power is turned on. If a pedal is connected, do not hold it down while you power-on the padKONTROL.

External MIDI sound module
The padKONTROL can function as a USB-MIDI interface. You can connect a MIDI sound module or other device to the MIDI OUT connector, and control the MIDI sound module from your computer.
When the padKONTROL is powered-on, it will automatically detect the polarity of the pedal. If a pedal is connected, do not hold it down while you power-on the padKONTROL.
2 To turn on the power, set the padKONTROL’s power
switch to the USB position. If you’re using a USB connection, power will be supplied from the computer to which the padKONTROL is connected. (This is called “bus power.”) The same applies if you’re using a self-powered USB hub.
If you’re using a USB connection, you don’t need to use an AC adapter. However if your computer is low-powered, or if you are using a hub that is only bus-powered (rather than self-powered), power may not be supplied to the padKONTROL. In this case, use the optional AC adapter and set the power switch to the DC position.

About the illumination mode
This mode causes the trigger pad LEDs to blink in a unique pattern. This produces a particularly striking effect when used during a live performance on a dimly lit stage; it looks cool sitting in the studio, too.
To select a pattern:
● Pattern A Power-on while holding down the [SETTING/ ENTER] and [MESSAGE/EXIT] keys. Pattern A produces an “expanding box” type of pattern each time a trigger pad is struck.
● Pattern B Power-on while holding down the [SETTING/ ENTER] and [FIXED VELOCITY/PRELOAD] keys. Pattern B produces a “domino effect” type of pattern each time a trigger pad is struck.
● Pattern C Power-on while holding the [SETTING/ENTER] and [PROG CHANGE/WRITE/ALL PAD] keys. If the padKONTROL has not been touched for few minutes, the trigger pads will start to blink in a variety of generated patterns. Once you touch the padKONTROL, they will stop.
● Mode Off Power-on while holding down the [SETTING/ ENTER] key and [SCENE] key.
The illumination mode setting is retained even when the power is off, providing you power-on in the usual way. You do not need to reset this parameter each time you turn on the padKONTROL.

Quick start
Try out the padKONTROL!
■ Turn the power on
Connect the padKONTROL to your computer and turn the power on. (p.12 “Making connections and turning on the power”) When the power turns on, the padKONTROL will be in Play mode, and scene 1 will be loaded. The display will indicate “ ”. In Play mode, the [SETTING/ENTER] key is dark.
■ Recalling a scene
The padKONTROL lets you assign the parameters you want to the trigger pads, the X-Y pads, and the two assignable knobs so that you can control your external MIDI sound module or a software synthesizer on your computer in whatever way is most appropriate for your needs. A set of these assignments is called a “scene.” The padKONTROL’s internal user memory contains sixteen scenes, and you can instantly recall any of these scenes using the sixteen trigger pads.
❍ As an example, here’s how to recall scene
number 5.
1 Hold down the [SCENE] key.
The [SCENE] key and the trigger pad corresponding to the currently selected scene number will light.
■
Using the Roll functionand Flam functions
The Roll function makes it easy to simulate a roll (rapidly repeated strikes on the same drum). The Flam function simulates a flam (double-strike on the same drum). By moving your finger on the X-Y pad you can realistically and dynamically control the roll or flam in realtime. The X-axis controls the speed of the roll (or the flam interval), and the Y-axis controls the roll expression (or the volume of the second strike of the flam). The example below describes using the roll function, but you can try out the flam function in the same way.
1 Press the [ROLL] key.
The Roll function will turn on, and the [ROLL] key will light.
2 Place your finger on the X-Y pad, and press a trigger
pad to which a snare drum or similar sound is assigned. A roll will play as long as you continue holding down the trigger pad. The roll will stop when you release the pad.
2 Continuing to hold down the [SCENE] key, press trigger
pad [05], which has an indication of “05” printed at the upper left of the trigger pad. The scene will change, and trigger pad [05] will light. The display will indicate “ ”.
As long as you continue holding down the [SCENE] key, you’ll be able to use the trigger pads to switch scenes.
3 Release the [SCENE] key to return to Play mode.
Scenes can also be recalled in Setting mode.
Making controller assignments
If you want a controller (e.g., trigger pad or pedal) to control a different parameter, you can change the assignment and setting for that controller.
❍ As an example, let’s assign trigger pad [3] so
that it transmits a MIDI Note-on message for note number C5 when pressed.
1 Press the [SETTING/ENTER].
You will enter Setting mode, and the [SETTING/ENTER] key will light.
2 Press trigger pad [3].
Trigger pad [3] will be selected and will light.
3 Press the [NOTE/CC#/LEFT] key.
Now you can specify a note message or control change. The [NOTE/CC#/LEFT] key will light. In the display, the note number or control change number will blink.

■ Trigger pads
Each time you press a trigger pad, the assigned note data or control change will be transmitted. Trigger pads to which a control change is assigned will remain lit in Play mode so that they can be easily identified. When you press a trigger pad to which a note message is assigned, the note message will be transmitted at the assigned velocity value. (p.20) When you press a trigger pad to which a control change is assigned, the control change will be transmitted with the assigned On value when pressed, and transmitted again with the assigned Release value when released. (p.21)
Display indication
When you press a trigger pad to which a note message is assigned, the display will indicate the velocity value. After a time, the display will revert to the scene number. When you press a trigger pad to which a control change is assigned, the display will indicate the control change value. After a time, the display will revert to the scene number.
Display indication
If a note message is assigned to the pedal, the display will indicate the velocity value. After a time, the display will revert to the scene number. If a control change is assigned, the display will indicate the control change value. After a time, the display will revert to the scene number.
■ X-Y pad
When you operate the X-Y pad, the assigned MIDI messages will be transmitted. (p.24) The upper edge and right edge of the X-Y pad produce higher values, and the lower edge and left edge produce lower values. You can reverse these directions if desired. When you take your finger off of the X-Y pad, it will return to the specified point (Release Point). (p.25)
< Example > While striking a trigger pad to which a snare drum sound is assigned, you can operate the X-Y pad to change the pitch, or some other aspect of the sound.
■ Assignable Knobs 1/2
When you turn assignable knobs 1/2, the assigned MIDI messages will be transmitted. (p.25)
< Example > While striking a trigger pad to which a tom sound is assigned, you can assign one of the knobs to Pan, and turn it to move the tom sound between left and right, or control it in other ways.
Transmitting a Program Change

padKONTROL Owner’s Manual
2 When you release the [PROG CHANGE/WRITE/ALL
PAD] key, a program change message will be transmit­ted with the program number that was shown in the display. Then the display will return to indicating the scene number.
This program change message is transmitted on the MIDI channel of each trigger pad and pedal whose MIDI Transmit Channel is set to other than Disable.
Transmitting MIDI messages
Various useful types of MIDI message are preassigned to trigger pads [1]–[3]. In addition, you can use the included Editor/Librarian software to create User Messages and assign them to trigger pads [4]–[8]. In Play mode, hold down the [MESSAGE/EXIT] key and press a trigger pad [1]–[8] to transmit the assigned MIDI message.
[1] PANIC
This transmits All Note Off [Bn, 7B, 00], All Sound Off [Bn, 78, 00], and Reset All Controllers [Bn, 79, 00] messages on all MIDI channels. Execute this if the connected software becomes unstable, or if you experience “stuck notes” on your MIDI sound module.
1 Hold down the [MESSAGE/EXIT] key and press trigger
pad [1]. All Note Off, All Sound Off, and Reset All Controllers messages will be transmitted on all MIDI channels. The display will show a graphic indication of the transmis­sion.
This message is transmitted to both port A and port B, regardless of the port you specified (p.21-26 “USB-MIDI Port”).
[3] GM ON
This transmits a GM System On [F0, 7E, 7F, 09, 01, F7] message.
1 Hold down the [MESSAGE/EXIT] key and press trigger
pad [3]. A GM System On message will be transmitted. The display will show a graphic indication of the transmis­sion.
This message is transmitted to the port you specify (p.21–26 “USB-MIDI Port”).
[4]–[8] USER1–5
This will transmit the MIDI message you created using the included Editor/Librarian software.
1 Hold down the [MESSAGE/EXIT] key and press trigger
pad [4]–[8]. The MIDI message you assigned will be transmitted. The display will show a graphic indication of the transmission. User message numbers 1–5 correspond to trigger pads [4]–[8].
These messages will be transmitted to the port you specify in the Editor/Librarian software. For details, refer to the owner’s manual for the Editor/Librarian software.
Using a fixed velocity
By turning fixed velocity on, every trigger pad (and the pedal) will send the same velocity message, regardless of the force with which you actually strike the trigger pad. If you want to change the fixed velocity, use Setting mode to specify the desired Fixed Velocity value. (p.27 “Fixed Velocity setting”)
1 Press the [FIXED VELOCITY/PRELOAD] key.
Note messages will now be transmitted with a fixed velocity, and the [FIXED VELOCITY/PRELOAD] key will light.
2 To defeat this setting, press the [FIXED VELOCITY/
PRELOAD] key to make it go dark.
In Play mode when the [FIXED VELOCITY/PRELOAD] key is off, a separate velocity value is sent from each of the trigger pads and the pedal.
[2] NOTE OFF
This transmits an All Note Off [Bn, 7B, 00] message on all MIDI channels.
1 Hold down the [MESSAGE/EXIT] key and press trigger
pad [2]. All Note Off messages will be transmitted on all MIDI channels. The display will show a graphic indication of the transmission.
This message is transmitted to both port A and port B, regardless of the port you specified (p.21-26 “USB-MIDI Port”).

The Flam function
A “flam” is a playing technique in which a single drum hit is played as a double-strike, with a very slight difference in timing between the left and right sticks. You can turn the padKONTROL’s Flam function on to simulate this playing technique. By moving your finger along the X-axis of the X-Y pad you can control the interval from the first strike until the second flam note occurs. By moving your finger along the Y-axis you can control the velocity (volume) of the second strike.
1 Press the [FLAM] key.
The Flam function will be enabled, and the [FLAM] key will light.
2 While pressing the X-Y pad, press a trigger pad to which
a snare drum or similar sound is assigned.
You can’t play a flam unless you’re already pressing the X-Y pad before you press the trigger pad.

3 To turn off the Roll function, press the [ROLL] key once
again to make it go dark.
The Hold function
The Hold function maintains the point (the value of the MIDI message) at which you released the X-Y pad, so that the value will be held even after you’ve taken your finger off of the pad. This function will apply to any operations you perform on the X-Y pad, including the Flam function and Roll function. For example if you are performing a roll with a Roll function and Hold function turned on, the roll will continue after you take your finger off of the X-Y pad, as long as you continue holding down the trigger pad. When the Hold function is on, the point (the value of the MIDI message) at which you took your finger off of the X-Y pad will be held. If the Hold function is off, and the Flam and Roll functions are both off, the value of the MIDI message when you take your finger off the X-Y pad will be the Release value you’ve specified. (p.25 “Release Value”)
1 Press the [HOLD] key.
The Hold function will turn on, and the [HOLD] key will light.
Alternatively, you can turn on the [HOLD] key before pressing the X-Y pad.

About Korg Native mode
In addition to the general-purpose controller functionality already explained, the padKONTROL also has something called “Native mode.” In Native mode the padKONTROL can be used as a controller for software that supports native mode.
In Native mode, the settings made in Setting mode will be ignored. If you want to keep your settings, you must save them before you enter Native mode.
Native mode does not use the concept of Play or Setting modes. Native mode also supports transmission/reception via the MIDI
connectors. The USB port settings will be different in Native mode.
Operations in Native mode
1 To enter Native mode, make the appropriate settings in
your connected software that supports Native mode.
2 Operate the various controllers in the same way as in
normal mode. The function of each key and the assignment of the controllers will be according to the settings of your computer software. In Native mode, the USB ports transmit the following messages. Por t A: Special messages related to each key and
controller
Por t B: Note messages and Pitch Bend messages
28
3 To exit Native mode, make the appropriate settings in
your connected software that supports Native mode, or hold down the padKONTROL’s [SCENE] key and [MESSAGE/EXIT] key, and press the [SETTING/ ENTER] key. The padKONTROL will return to Play mode.
Normally you should exit Native mode by using the menu of your connected software. If you are unable to e xit Native mode from the menu of your software because a cable has been disconnected or for some other reason, use the keys of the padKONTROL to exit Native mode.
For details about how to enter and exit Native mode, about the messages that appear in the main display when in Native mode, and about the operations in Native mode, please refer to the owner’s manual for your software that supports Native mode.
Troubleshooting
■ Power does not turn on
• Is the power switch set to the correct position? (p.12)
• Could the padKONTROL be connected to your computer via a hub?
■ Software does not respond
• Is the USB cable connected correctly?
• Has the padKONTROL been recognized by the connected computer?
If you’re using Windows XP, go to Control Panel “Sound and Audio Devices Properties” and check the Hardware settings. If you’re using Mac OS X, go to Macintosh HD ➔ Application folder ➔ Utility folder ➔ ”Audio MIDI Settings,” and in the “MIDI Devices” tab page, check whether the padKONTROL has been recognized.
Depending on the hardware setup of your computer, it may not be possible for the padKONTROL to be recognized via a USB connection.
• Check the padKONTROL assignments and the USB­MIDI Port assignments.
• It may be that the connected device or software does not support the function you’re attempting to use. Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected device or software, and make sure that the function is supported.
■ Trigger pad velocity is not detected
• Check the velocity setting. (p.20)
■ Sound does not stop
• If a note number is assigned to a trigger pad and the trigger pad is set to Toggle operation, it may be that the corresponding Note-off message was not transmitted. If this occurs, use the Message function to execute [2] ALL NOTE OFF (p.17) or [1] PANIC (p.17).
