Free Korg NanoPAD presets

I know there are quite a few of you out there that own at least one of the korg Nano range of controllers.

The most popular of the Nano range has to be the NanoPAD. While the NanoPAD is a useful tool for laying down drum beats, I feel that It really shines when using it to come up with cool melodic parts.

This Preset collection contains a few useful scales and chords that I hope will help you in your productions.

In the .ZIP file you will find:

• C Major scale
• C Minor scale
• C Pentatonic Minor scale
• C Pentatonic Major scale
• C Pentatonic Blues scale
• Major Triad chords
• Minor Triad chords
• Major 7th chords
• Minor 7th chords

You've probably noticed that all the scales are in the Key of C.
If you wish to transpose the scales into a different Key then you can do how to do this here.

Korg NanoPAD Preset transposition guide

This post will show you how to transpose the scales found in my Korg NanoPAD preset collection onto a different musical Key.

You can download my Korg NanoPAD presets here for free.

In this example I'm going to show you how to transpose a C Minor scale to a D# Minor scale in the Korg Kontrol editor for the NanoPAD.

1. Open the Korg Kontrol editor.
2. Load up you desired scale (File > Load scene data file).
   
3. select the first note in the scale (C/Pad 1)
4. Click the '+' button next to to the note to raise the pitch in semitones until you rech your desired Key. (Eg. D# will be 3 semitones up from C)
   
5. Go through the remainder of the pads and raise the pitch of each pad by the same number of semitones.
6. You're Pretty much done, If you have raised each note in the scale by the exact same number of semitones then the scale itself won't have changed but the Key of the scale will.
7. To make sure that your new scale is written to your NanoPAD you have to now click write scene data. (Communication > write scene data)
8. Load up your DAW and get making music.
