Yea it seems like a Windows program is what people need.
It seems farmpad has already satisfied most mac users.
you could maybe make a GUI for farmpad, since its text based editing may put most people off..

i would love a windows farmpad (i dont have a mac)
-
A Windows farmpad would be excellent, however, the GUI for the mac version stands to be most excellent. Would a JAVA version be possible? Something like a multi-platformer like Rapid Evolution? It tends to get a little cumbersome and boring for people who do not 'think' the way most programmers think when using farmpad, so it is much easier for them to click a mouse rather than remember a specific syntax and writing that code into a text file for what they want to control.

Btw, something kind of along the lines of the padKONTROL Editor Librarian software that comes bundled with the padKONTROL hardware would probably be best for your farmpad gui for mac

Anybody on here ever attempt to swap out the smd led's on this badboy? I opened mine up, ordered the parts, desoldered one of the lights, and I actually got one of the pads to trigger with a blue led instead of red, but I did a shite soldering job and it stopped working. Also managed to mess up the entire bottom row of lights by continuing to try to get them to work. Two issues I ran into were, I think I bought too large size of the smd led's (had no idea what kind the padkontrol used so I just guessed by googling up smd led images and trying to measure) and also, if you head up the smd led's too much the little cheapo "pads" that are under each connection just come right off the board.
I would actually pay someone for this mod as aesthetics mean a lot to me and my studio, lol
Just wondering if anyone ever attempted this mod? I know it's purely cosmetic but you can't deny it would look damn good!
Any input would be helpful. Also let me know if I should have started a new thread as I am new to this forum

Padkontrol Native Mode for Windows....finally!
Hi all,
After much Googling I came across this....

Tested working on XP with no problems so far using Loopbe virtual midi...

That's a pretty awesome link. I have a PadKontrol coming in the mail and I plan on using the midi-fighter tsi. I was rather bummed to find that the korg's lights can't be toggled on and off via midi command messages. Seems like this maybe be a viable work around.
-
I purchased the padKontrol with TP 2 years ago with the same ideas...very disappointed when I realised I couldn't map and utilise all of the controls or map lights etc...
It's taken a lot of searching to find this...i've explored all of the other options...Max patches...nativekontrol...Bomes Midi translation...each is a in their own right...but still not quite what i wanted.
This still has a few problems...it only looks for messages on one channel,,,and some buttons transmit on different ones..maybe the author could be persuaded to write some new code if there is enough nterest...
