The nanoPAD2’s global parameters

The nanoPAD2’s global parameters

These are global parameters that allow you to adjust the settings for the entire nanoPAD2.

The settings here apply to all four scenes.

Common

Global MIDI Channel [1...16]

Set this to match the MIDI channel of the application that you’re controlling.

Velocity Curve [Light/Normal/Heavy/Const]

This specifies how the volume will change according to how hard you strike the trig-

ger pads. You can choose one of three velocity curves, or a fixed velocity value.

Normal

Heavy

Light

127

1

Const

Light

Even soft strikes can produce loud 

notes.

Normal

Normal velocity curve.

Heavy

Strong strikes are needed to 

produce loud notes.

Const

A fixed velocity is always produced.

Soft

Strong

Const Velocity Value [1...127]

This specifies the velocity value that will be transmitted when you’ve selected Const

as the velocity curve.

BPM [20.0…300.0]

This specifies the tempo (speed) of the Gate Arpeggiator.

When global data is received in the KORG KONTROL Editor, the BPM

specified by the nanoPAD2’s global data will be received. This is not the

BPM that was set by the Tap Tempo function.

MIDI Clock [Auto/Internal/External]

This specifies how the nanoPAD2’s Gate Arpeggiator will synchronize with your ap-

plication.

Auto

If MIDI clock is being received from your application, the nano-

PAD2 will automatically work with the “External” setting. If no

MIDI clock is being received, it will work with the “Internal” set-

ting.

Internal

The Gate Arpeggiator will function according to the nanoPAD2’s

internal clock (the BPM parameter, or specified by Tap Tempo).

Choose this setting if you’re using the nanoPAD2 by itself, and

not synchronizing it with your application.

External

The nanoPAD2’s Gate Arpeggiator will function in synchroniza-

tion with MIDI clock data received from your application.
