Got a broken Korg NanoPAD? Try this mod! Posted on: 31.05.2011 by Arcelia Siebeneck Everyone knows how rubbish the NanoPAD's quality is, but if your pads have stopped working and the x/y pad is okay, try this:
The funny thing is, I cracked the nanoPAD in half. Something about my fascination for breaking electronics once they're dead.. And guess what? The X/Y still works! So i basically snapped off the pads and it's a small square X/Y Pad now.. Whatchu know about that?
could be quite a cheap way to build a decent x/y pad into a custom midi controller. i'm just surprised that the pcb still works after being broken in half! | |

| Chasidy Heckenbach 31.05.2011 | looks like it was someone on that ableton community
who broke it in half. pretty cool it still worked would love to add a real xy pad by the side of my lpd8 if i found someone selling a nanopad where just the xy pad still worked or something... be better than my usb touchpad + glovepie script. |
| Lewis Stumpf 31.05.2011 | Wait. You just broke it in half, and it still works?! That's really interesting. Could you perhaps take a picture of the PCB and post it? I'd like to see if there's a reason why it can do that. |
