As promised, we will be releasing videos that better explains some of the unique features the KETRON products currently have.

More details will be available on the webinars soon to be organized in collaboration with IMMUSIC.

Stay tuned to this thread and enjoy video #1:- LAUNCHPAD EXPLAINED

Thanks,

What Bruno means, is this feature needs to have some drum pads..

To make it really perfect..
16 drum pads
and 16 tracks
and 16 scenes
and you can use the drum pads to either select tracks
or to select scenes
Or all those other great things drum pads can be used for.


But all in all, i hope this video helps to convince people of the usefullness of the launchpad. For me this is a game changer in the keyboard world.

I never realised you can switch style variations in the launchpad witouth switching scenes.

Hi AJ,

Does Ketron SD9 / SD90 support external USB MIDI control surface like the Korg NanoPad2 to configure the 16 pads as triggers?

Thanks,
Paul

The nanoPad2 is hardly useful with the Pa4x. It's a wonderful little controller that I use a lot for everything else but not so much with the Pa4x.

Here's why. You can only assign a single PC message to one pad. An example would be functions such as Intro, Var1, Ending 2....etc. Not exactly useful, because you already have dedicated buttons directly on the panel for these Style Elements. You can't use it to select sounds and styles, because with the nanoPad2 you can't assign a string of PC/LSB/MSB to the same pad...meaning you would have to press at least 3 different pads in succession in order to get something selected!

The Genius award goes to whomever thought that was a good idea!
