I've been thinking about getting a Kaoss Pad of some kind for DJing usage.

I've also been wanting a Yamaha DX-7 or something similar. I've currently got a DX-21, but I hear the more professional models are better overall.

I think i know the vids you're talking about. i think a kaoss pad would go great with my turntable/MPC/moog/yamaha setup.

i also forgot to mention that i've been thinking about getting a microKorg.

got the akai s20, crazy how that helps with pitching samples and for drum sounds. maybe a kaoss pad will be a nice additional efx box to go with the sp

Got the padkontrol too, The thing is, you can not send midi directly to the 404 if you are using the USB cable. So I'd just have to buy an AC adapter to use it with the 404...the guys at korg are stupid (or I am really missing an explanation !)

nah man
you actually do have to buy the adaptor
won't cost much, but it is a nuisance. write down the specs from the manual, then go to a Radioo Shack and they'll sort you out

you'll forgive them though, once you start triggering the 404 via the padkontrol. the pK's pads are heavenly, and the Roll function allows some really expressive drum parts

check this forum out for all padkontrol queries:

Your missing it.. I have the PadKontrol and love it.. The SP404 can't recieve the midi from the PadKontrol cuz the PadKontrol has to work with Software thru USB... In the Manual it states this you must use Midi cables.. You can connect the PK to your PC for USB power.

apparently the DX200 is the same sound module as the DX-7, and costs way less, if you can handle it being in a desktop module rather than a keyboard.
