Oasys and NanoPad

Hi,

The pads on my O88 take quite a battering? Can you connect the O to the NanoPad to give them a rest ? Has anyone done it ? How did you set it up ? Can you get the NanoPad to trigger the existing pad chords as well as doing your own ?

Thanks,
Patrick

Hi again,

I take it the link up can be made but I wouldn't want to buy the NanoPad only to discard it later coz it wasn't compatible ?

Any takers ?

Patrick

I think it only works on the Kronos. They made it available through an update because the K doesn't have pads. I'm guessing they never produced such an update for the Oasys which has its own pads and ceased being manufactured long before the nanos became popular.

EDIT: I'll amend that because the nanos are class compliant. Can you hook up other regular class compliant USB midi keyboards to the O? Then it might work. The nanos just send notes and the pads on your O respond to low note numbers. In that case you could conceivable program it to send those notes - it just goes automatically on the K. But that is assuming the O supports class compliant USB midi devices.

Many thanks. Another alternative is--(gulp)-- fix the sensors under the troublesome pads by lifting the lid. I'll search around on YouTube. Don't fancy this at all--------Maybe let sleeping pads lie ? Shame but there it is. Thank you for your thoughts.
