Anyone using the Korg PadKontrol with Mulch? I've moved away from the idea of a Launchpad due to its dedication to Ableton. The Korg comes in cheaper and looks more flexible. My mouse is hovering over the "Buy Now" button - any comments before the deed is done?
I like the limited edition black version - I've been a Korg Head since the MS20, so Korgs should be black in my book :)
I know it is a slightly different thing, but I have been using the nanoPad and the nanoKontrol quite successfully. The software that comes with the hardware allows for loads of tweaking of midi output so your hardware does what you want in audiomulch.
So, I imagine if the padKontrol offers this kind of flexibility (which I imagine it does), it's probably worth it.
HOWEVER, the korg nano series is a great option - you can get loads of functionality for a greatly reduced price. I've had great fun with the two I have, which together cost about half the price of the padKontrol. And they're great on the road. Nice and light.
