  • Here's some messing around with a Korg nanopad and the brilliant (free) DVS saxophone vst. The sketchy jazz loop uses Stormdrum, Pianoteq, Lounge lizard and Hypersonic 2's acoustic bass XXL. I hope this helps you to find creative use for your nanopad! :)

    Ok, mind blown! Bravo. I can see how to 'attack' playing sax and now flute, clarinet, etc. with this controller.

      Thanks! Let's see... It's been over ten years but I think there's a control software you can download from korg's site. I used that to map the pads to the right scale. After that I just used it like any midi controller to play a synth inside a DAW. Does this help?

    As someone who can't play guitar or piano (but looking to buy this as both my first midi and introduction into making beats with hardware) I'm finding this very interesting and wondering how the mapping of keys and the strings of a guitar correlate? He's holding and seemingly playing it like a guitar so I want to think there's a hidden cheat code somewhere

    • @pestianK
      @pestianK  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Hi! the midi controller I'm using there comes with a software that allows you to map the controller pads to any notes you choose. But it's nothing like playing a guitar really, as you don't need to strum or pick, you just press a pad and a note plays.

    • @pestianK
      @pestianK  Před 4 lety

      I think the pads send out midi notes by default. But the nano series comes with the korg KONTROL editor, that allows you to re-write the scene set completely. You can have the pads send either CC# or notes. :)

      sorry for a late reply here. Sure you can! If you're using ableton live there's a stock midi effect called "Scale." Other option is to edit the pads' midi output in the korg nanokontrol editing software.

    • @pestianK
      @pestianK  Před 3 lety +1

      If you're into beatmaking, then propably Ableton Live or FL Studio would suit your needs best. There's a Lite version of Live, which is pretty affordable and will be more than enough to get you started.

    Hello, I asked a question about your old video with a saxophone, nano pad 2.
    follow this link ( czcams.com/video/_zHXlqQgXss/video.html )
    but there is no answer there, only because of your video I bought exactly the same nano pad 2.
    maybe on this page you will see my question faster?
    it is very difficult to understand
    its settings, please tell me what you used? phone number? or a computer?, and which program is the sequencer? besides that- a dvs saxophone. it's easy to find him- but he doesn't work anywhere.
    what program? which sequencer?
    I will be very grateful for the answer.

    I really love this kind of technology, its fascinating! But theres also a downside to it for me as well.... Its crazy cool, but for me the charm of the instrument goes away if its digitalized. Seeing someone actually playing a heavy saxophone in the traditional way is something I like to WATCH more, and I think that is also a big part of a performance!
