Frequently Asked Questions
The pads are small, which limits complex finger drumming, but they’re surprisingly responsive for basic rhythms and sequences.
iPad compatibility is dependent on your iPad’s OS version and app support – Korg doesn’t guarantee seamless operation with all setups.
The Touch-Scale button restricts the pads to a single musical scale, which is useful for creating melodies and preventing out-of-key notes.
