The PAD-One can individually assign pads on the fly, and shows you each pads MIDI value on the 7 seg indicator. Compact, solid and reliable, the PAD One is the ideal addition to your DJ arsenal. The pads not only send out velocity sensitive notes but they also send out a single after touch CC with further pressure on the pad. Why should you care? It gives triggering effects and notes more character with analogue expression right on your button. Imagine:
turning on an effect with the button and then modulating the value with after touch.
triggering a cue point and then bending the key parameter for a pitch bend.
And it has an XY Pad too which is really responsive and customizable. It has a nice firm feel, as opposed to some X/Y pads which truly feel very flimsy.
There is a roll feature for the buttons that allows for fast triggering of notes in automatic succession. The tempo of the roll is controlled by the TAP button and the rate is controlled by the X/Y pad. One possible use case is:
triggering cue points in rapid succession in a true roll style drum build.
This is a very nifty device. Compact and robust, expect to see these quite a lot this summer, used by DJ’s and producers alike.
