I recently bought the korg padkontrol online from ebay, it arrived today, I'm almost 100% sure it is broken. It wasn't in its original packaging but it did come with a usb cable and the starter CD, unfortunately apples newest line of macbook pros don't come with disc drives. I downloaded all essential software from the korg website - now, why I think it is broken...
The pads respond in Logic perfectly fine BUT that's about it, the x/y pad doesn't do a thing, the flam and roll don't do ANYTHING to the sound. I would be incredibly grateful if somebody could suggest some tests I could carry out so I could find out whether or not the thing is really broken or whether I'm just being obtuse.
Here is a list of my concerns
1) the x/y pad is completely unresponsive
2) the setting knob is completely unresponsive
3) every time I hit the setting/enter key the pedal key also lights up (in the youtube demos and tutorials this didn't happen)
So to reiterate, could somebody please tell me what tests I can carry out to determine whether or not any or all of these concerns are signs of a broken padkontrol or signs of me being an idiot.
Many, many, many thanks
