My fingers are pleased!
Quality:
The padKontrol sits nicely on my computer desk. The hard plastic shell seems very sturdy and solid. The pads has a smooth rubbery feel -- my fingers are pleased!
Features:
I bought the padKontrol for the 16 pads, flam and roll features. I haven't had any issues using any of them. The only thing I would add is the power supply. Don't make it optional. Have it in the box then it's optional for anyone to use it.
Ease of Use:
I have yet to use other features besides flam and roll. So far, it's pretty straight-forward. I was having issues with the editor not recognizing the padKontrol. But I'm only going to use the padKontrol via AC adapter (separate purchase) and use it to control my Roland sound module which has been working like a champ.
Sound:
It's a controller. It has no sound. Unless you're thinking about the actual thump sound it makes when you bang on the pads.
Action:
The 16 pads are amazing! I hooked it up to my Roland SonicCell started tracking drum parts within minutes! The pads are not stiff at all. Simply amazing!
Value:
I'm glad I've decided to buy the padKontrol. I truly enjoy doing drum parts and even synth parts using just the padKontrol.

Just What I Needed.
Quality:
Lightweight body, sturdy professional-feeling pads (also touch sensitive), and a basic screen that does the trick. I don't like the fact that it's plastic, but it's still well-built for it's purpose.
Features:
The touch sensitive drum pads in combination to the numerous features on the X-Y pad bring even the most monotonous MIDI sounds to life. And for the record: with the right software, this controller CAN play samples...I have many custom-made drum kits that I use in conjunction with this.
Ease of Use:
If you've never messed with a MIDI controller, it could be puzzling at first to get the configuration right for whatever it is you're trying to do (your setup will vary from software to software. keyboards are pretty straight-forward). For the most part, it's very easy to use...and 'no', the instruction booklet won't show you much more than how to setup your physical equipment. I recommend running an internet search when troubleshooting.
Sound:
It's a MIDI controller, it has no sound. :) (nah, it definitely variates your MIDI options as to what tone you're looking for.)
Action:
Plug it in, download the CD contents, open the library editor software, and you're on your way.
Value:
Yes, very much. I got my pK as a hand-me-down for $100. I definitely should've payed more.
Do you own this product?:
Yup.
