Is the Korg nanoPad really that bad?
Is the Korg nanoPad really that bad? Posted on: 04.01.2012 by Molly Moszer I was believeing about buying a korg nonoPad (the original, not the nanoPad2) because it's pretty cheap and I'd love to have some more pads but I was wondering if it's worth the buy, I mean I understand it is cheap for a reason but a lot of reviews I've read say that it doesn't even last two weeks which seems ridiculous to me. Is it really that bad, or is that just a few isolated circumstances. I'd love to buy one but not if it's going to last me two weeks. Are there any other alternatives I should look into that are just as cheap? | |

I'll see if I can find a picture found it.. It was shown at bpm 2011 |
| Kandra Fagler 05.01.2012 | the first gen nanopads were bad the second gen (nanoPad2) are even WORSE i had both , broken first gen, sold off second gen as the pads are unplayable |
| Trista Karle 05.01.2012 | What's the akai cheap one I read in other forms the build quality is more sturdy Sent from my jailbroken iPhone |
| Trista Karle 05.01.2012 | That's was one day mapping so hour or so of use and by end of that day it wasn't feeling right. Sent from my jailbroken iPhone |
| Molly Moszer 04.01.2012 | Oh damn, alright, I'll take a look at the lpd8, does anyone know of any other good, somewhat inexpensive pad tools? |
| Trista Karle 04.01.2012 | 2 days for mine then pads would trigger wrong or not at all |
| Nedra Fresneda 04.01.2012 | I don't know about weeks, but most of the people i know had theirs die in less than 6 monts, I sold mine before it did. Play it safe, go for the lpd8. |
