    Introduction Introduction This nanoPAD2 parameter guide explains the parameters that you can edit on the nanoPAD2 as well as providing basic instructions for usage. Read this guide when you want to adjust or refine the settings. Preparations You’ll use the KORG KONTROL Editor software to edit the nanoPAD2’s parameters.

    Gate arpeggiator Gate arpeggiator When the Touch Scale mode is “off” The gate arpeggiator will apply to the trigger pads only while you’re touching the X-Y pad. Velocity Gate speed X-axis: Gate speed This specifies the interval at which the notes are spaced. Notes will be sounded at intervals of 1/2 (half-note) on the left edge of the pad, and at intervals of 1/48 (32nd note triplet) on the right edge.

    Gate arpeggiator When the Touch Scale mode is “on” The gate arpeggiator will apply only to the touch scale function. The gate arpeggiator does not apply to the trigger pads. Gate arpeggiator is enabled Gate time Note number Gate arpeggiator does not apply X-axis: Note number Note messages are transmitted according to the scale, key, note range, and octave shift settings that you’ve specified.

    The nanoPAD2’s global parameters Touch Scale Y-axis Polarity [Normal/Reverse] This specifies the polarity of the Y-axis values of the X-Y pad. If the Touch Scale mode is “on,” moving your finger in the X-axis direction of the X-Y Normal Operation will be normal. The lower edge produces low values, pad will transmit note messages, and moving it in the Y-axis direction will transmit and the upper edge produces high values.

    The nanoPAD2’s global parameters An example of major pentatonic scale setting User Scale Although the nanoPAD2’s Touch Scale feature provides 15 different built-in scales, you can also edit and use your own original user scale. Parameter Length [1…12] Length You can specify up to 12 notes in an octave. This setting specifies how many notes Note Offset 1 there will be in an octave.
  • Page 12: Restoring The Factory Settings

    Restoring the factory settings If you turn on the power while holding down the KEY/RANGE button, SCALE/TAP button, and SCENE button, the scene LEDs will begin blinking, and the nanoPAD2’s settings will return to their factory-set state. When the process is completed, the blinking will stop.
