Looking into something to add to my setup
Looking into something to add to my setup Posted on: 20.10.2011 by Kesha Pietrak I really want to add something like an akia lpk25, korg nanokey 2 or korg nanopad 2...which one do you guys believe would be best with the vci 100 se? Id probably map some instant effects, loop controls, cue points, etc. I looked into the akai lpd8, but it only has 8 pads and I have no use for the knobs So opinions on the lpk25 vs. nonkey2 vs. nanopad2? | |

| Suzanna Paddock 21.10.2011 | KMI Softstep is a killer pedal for pads. I'd check it out. |
