Korg PadKontrol trigger grid mapping.

Post by Sub7 » Tue Nov 24, 2009 4:25 am

I use an 8 track DJ template setup and I would like to map an 8x8 trigger grid to my PK pads and than be able to scoll down(like on the APC40 or Launchpad)for the next 8x8 to be triggered. Can anyone suggest any methods of doing this. Thanks

It can only be done with the APC or Launch Pad currently. Sorry. Would be nice though.

Ok so we're both right

I do wish the PadKontrol had the red box.

I have it set up using PK Squared like this:

Channel 1 / Transpose 0 = Pads 5-16 triggering 1st 3 clips on tracks 1 to 4
Channel 1 / Transpose 12 = Pads 5-16 triggering clips 4 to 6 on tracks 1 to 4
etc...

Channel 2 does the same but for tracks 5 to 8, channel 3 for 9 to 12 and so on. Its great fun setting clips to be velocity sensitive, sticking 16ths quantise on and bashing out new songs from clips :D

PK Squared sets up the buttons above the xy pad to control the cursor and trigger clips which is v useful live, also the 7 buttons next to the pads are mappable (i have them set to stop clips on various channels). Once you get used to the key combo to switch octave and channel its a breeze to get around massive sets + generally use live as one big complex as hell drum machine..

Also, as PK squared transposes by octaves the first clip of the previous octave always appears on pad 1-4 when transposing which is ideal for me :)
