Troubleshooting Korg padKONTROL.

The padKONTROL supports multiple scenes – to play nice with Melodics, you need to be on the Scene 1.

#1 is the one.

Melodics supports the default Scene 1. This should be the default layer for most users, but if Melodics isn’t playing ball, first try manually switching to it:

Press SCENE + Pad 01 (top left)

If that doesn’t work…

Try “old faithful” – unplugging it and reconnecting it to get it back to the default state.

Still no good?

The other thing you can try is a factory reset.

Hold down the SCENE key and press the FIXED VELOCITY/PRELOAD key. The key will light, and the SETTING/ENTER key will blink.
Use the ENCODER to select “ALL”, and then press the SETTING/ENTER key. The display indicates “Lod” and loading begins – when completed, the display will stop blinking.

And you should be ready to go!

If you’re still having issues, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via the Support page.
