I frequently work with multiballs on the lemur, and they're nothing more than just fancy xy pads, I have never had a problem with them ( other than the fact that they're incredibly difficult to program)
agreed. seems kinda useless to have 4 xypads if you cant get them to work.
man, and i was so stoked -.-

lol, sooo true!
oh, and I agree - the signature code is too limited...

Friend_Kami, they'll work. At any rate it might be easier to build a custom app to merge all 4 nanopads together into one signals anyway, that would help I reckon.

well it seems like these new nano controllers are pretty mod friendly, so im guessing some software and custom enclosures and hookups and whatnots will come. ;)

I just came all over my desk after seeing that nanoPad. Finally an uber simple controller (withXY!) that doesn't cost a fucking fortune.

I stumbled upon the product listings on the Korg UK website through Google (I think), bizarrely I still can't figure out how to navigate to the page through their website: http://www.korg.co.uk/products/software ... c_nano.asp

Its got a few extra details including some limited specifications. Slightly interesting is that you get a copy of M1LE with the nanoKey, ezDrummer Light with the nanoPad and a discount coupon for Live LE with the nanoKontrol (not much use for us though).

Some more info, i cant believe they managed to get the keys to be velocity sensitive - ha!

also the pad one sounds cool, you can assign chords..

(theres a little vid at the bottom of the page.
