Music production tools like Renoise have a tremendous amount of power. But what if you could program grooves with the kind of touch-a-pad workflow offered by something like the MPC? In the latest example of users doing wild things with the powerful API in tri-platform tracker Renoise, mxb attempts to make a sort of Renoise MPC. It’s all made possible with the Korg padKONTROL drum controller. And he’s looking for testers – yes, while there may be a handful of people with this rig, you can bet many of them read CDM. mxb writes:
This tool is for the (unfortunately discontinued) Korg padKontrol, and presents an ‘MPC/Groovebox’ style interface to Renoise.
The tool is still in development and I am trying to get more testers to assist the debugging process. Finding users with Renoise and padKontrol’s is difficult.
A couple of videos show what this all looks like:

Is PadKontrol really discontinued? It still shows up at Korg.com as a current product.
they no longer manufacture them, from what i understand. i still use mine very frequently with some nativekontrol apps, so i made sure to get some spares. ebay or used gear is the only way now.
That really sucks. I have a Maschine, but still use my PadKontrol _WAY_ more. :/

Just what the doctor ordered! PadKontrol was designed to be “hackable” right from the beginning, thanks to an extensive sysex implementation. I use my controller whenever I fire up my computer or synth workstation…
