ldp8 or nuthin

my nanopad has lasted 6 months now, must be lucky? lol

the pad is great for effects, like a poor mans kaoss pad, makes the beat slicer a shed load of fun, and any chained combo using the gater effect

er... xy played up a bit today, kept resetting effect parameters to zero and turning effects on on its own, no biggie if effect not assigned, but was a pain. swift knock seemed to sort it



thinking about it, could be vibration related...?

I have a nanopad and it works perfectly for what I do with it ... which is leave it in a corner collecting dust The pads kinda suck and the X-Y pad is pretty useless; for $30 more you get a Trigger Finger with more pads plus faders AND knobs. If you like the form factor of the nanopad go with the Akais; the build quality is much better and your pads won't wear out.

Or better yet, save a few more shekels and get yourself a MIDI Fighter!!

I would steer away from the nanoKey. I have one and it's pretty meh.

IMO either wait for the next batch of midiFighters, or get one of the Akai MPD controllers.

The ones with a 4x4 grid of pads and a bunch of knobs/faders on them. They're quite boss.s

How much are you paying for your Nanopads/Trigger Fingers?

The akai LPK, is not as solid as the LPD, but, its still great. Velocity weighted keys, a little plasticy, but still solid.

I have two black korg nanoKontrols with 1 month of age, they are awesome
I use one as my internal mixer and the other as FX/Looping
It's perfect!
In addition to these I use the Oxygen Keys for trigger FX and Cue Points and some mixing functions as pitch bend, bpm matching, syncing, duplicating decks...

$60 and $90 as I recall (USD). But I think the trigger finger was on sale? I don't remember, it's a few years ago but it was probably a Guitar Center floor model -- I'm lookin on google shopping now and these things are $150+. So forget my comment about them being comparable in price, lol....

solved my dodgy pad issue, was plugging it in during my laptops boot (out of laziness) as i have it set to boot straight through to TPro, plug in it after traktor load, all is good.

Ha! I wish they were 90! No worries mate, it's all gravy
