Are the pads velocity and/or pressure sensitive? If so, how well do they respond, like for use as a finger-tappable drum instrument controller?

They are not velocity sensitive. These have a slight almost "click" to them and are great for clip launching but not for finger drumming

Yep. They're a bit small and certainly take some getting used to but they're accurate and work very well once you get them setup properly within the game. I use them for roll and use the xml route to set bindings which is a bit more complex than the in-game interface but it's more fully featured. 1 to 10, I'd give them a 6 or 7. There is much much better, but not for around a hundred bucks. Saitek's pedals are good too but they don't integrate with CH software which is one huge bonus for the whole CH line of gear.Good luck and see you in the verse.

Hi William. You use it to make music and control Ableton. You can use the pads to trigger samples, affect volume, change effects, pan, etc. The included software (when purchased new) gives you access to tons of sounds, samples, and music creation tools. It's a powerful little instrument.

Well, I'm not exactly sure what you mean because if you were to attach this to a plastic cymbal on an electric drum kit all you will hear is your drum stick hitting the plastic. You won't hear the generated cymbal sound. This pick up is good but, and I don't know if it's just mine, I had to kind of take it apart and stick it to my nylon string guitar with duct tape so that it could achieve the right amount of sensitivity. I had to tape it down hard too. I'm sure there are others out there that are better.

You should be able to use any standard bass drum pedal you like. The kick pad feels pretty good to play on but you're not going to experience the kind of rebound you would with a tensioned drumhead. Felt beaters are OK but I prefer to use a smooth plastic beater. I'd also recommend an adhesive bass drum patch.

It returns to 0 when I take my finger off. It's a great midi controller and with the software alone it was worth the price . But pitch and mod control takes getting use to because there is no feel to it hope this helps.

Yes it is quite sensitive and you can play with your fingers. I just bought one 2-3 months back and since then have played it only once. I am planning to sell mine for $95 + shipping.would you be interested ?

Overall I really like the keyboard and works seamlessly with ableton. The pads are stiff. But everything else is good.

Did you physically damage the drum pad or did it just stop working? If it just stopped working the piezo trigger switch inside may have just come loose from the pad. It is held in place by a piece of tape. Open it up and retape. Now if the pad itself is damaged I would start by contacting Medeli: http://www.medeli.com.hk/?page=contactus

I use it all the time, works great for me. Make sure all the connections are secured. ie: the pads, if pads are loose, you will get a jolt. Found out the hard way. Try that.

yes, because EZ Drummer 2 is a VST. And, with the PadKontrol being a General MIDI enabled device, should be no sweat.

All inputs are dual trigger accept for the ride which is actually triple trigger for ride, bell, and edge (crashing). You can also make the dual triggers into 2 single trigger pads as well. It's quite a deal for the money. The only downside is that Alesis drum modules tend to ghost trigger if you set the threshold too low. I recommend a setting of 5 of greater to eliminate this problem.

Yes they have progressive weighting. Which means harder to push on the low notes just like a real one. Some say slightly less then some other digitals but a very nice feel in my opinion.

It doesn't ship with with PTE, it ships with Ableton Live Lite. I tried Live once and it so confused me I never went back. EZ Drummer is its own product and yes, the Axiom has full control of it. With 16 excellent velocity-sensitive pads you can go crazy on it!

Not weighted. Touch sensitive but I don't recommend this keyboard. It only works with 1 of three midi cables I own. You're better off spending an extra $50 or so for an M-Audio. Only way I would recommend this is if it's always going to be used to produce in a home studio.

I got 2 pads for that price when I ordered them. They are just as good as the Tapout and Hybusa ones for a fraction of the price. I use them twice a week, during my workouts, and they are still firm. They DO have a strong "new vinyl" for several months, but you wont notice it as much as my ultra pregnant wife... I didnt.
