Connected padKONTROL to laptop, to Cantabile. Installed drivers from the internet. When selecting the MIDI device, had to select the MIDI2PadControl, rather than just padControl. Also noticed that some pads are triggering items with other MIDI channels. Need to figure out how to do a factory reset.

Hold down the [SCENE] key and press the [FIXED
VELOCITY/PRELOAD] key.

The [FIXED VELOCITY/PRELOAD] key will light, and
the [SETTING/ENTER] key will blink. The display will
indicate the preloaded scene number.

Use the encoder to select “ALL”.

Press the [SETTING/ENTER] key.
The display will blink “Lod” and loading will begin. After
a time, the blinking will stop. Loading has been
completed.

KORG padKONTROL Manual

After loading the factory presets, I like Scene 6 (Hold SCENE, press pad 6) which KORG calls “07 GM Standard Kit 1” This puts the Kick drum in the lower-left corner, crash at pad 1, toms at 6, 7, 8, high-hat at 15-16.
