    I just haven't heard good things about the Donner party. Glad to see they're still doing well after all these years.

    I like what Donner is doing and glad companies are finally releasing more simple affordable pad controllers. I'd suggest going for the Presonus Atom tho over this at a similar price point although the Donner is usually cheaper.

      Nice, thanks for the recommendation!

      Yep, I've considered getting the Atom, but for my iPad. Even though I do own a Windows 11 tablet, I'm reluctant to use Presonus Studio One. Trying to stick to an iPadOS workflow and I don't particularly like Windows.

  • @marcbrault

    Looks nice... Is there a way to colour code the pads in relation to what they trigger (for example, yellow for cymbals, green for toms, blue for snare, etc) ?

  • @dj_instruments937

    I would love to see a chord function like Akai when it comes to making chords and progressions. This should become a norm for midi controllers

  • @LaidbackSounds

    Do they do midi kebabs too ?

  • @SMBorthwick
    @SMBorthwick ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I haven't really considered MIDI controllers as I just use iPad natively or as a logic remote controller, but this could be a good starting point to explore. Cheers Patrick.

    hello - thanks Patrick for doing this video. I was inspired and got myself one. Any chance you can do a video to show how to midi map the pads on the starrypad to drum sounds? I think drums are normally CN 10 which is what the editor has it as. But how do I assign say kick drum to both pads 2 and 3, and snare on pads 6 and 7, etc? The editor is quite confusing - would be so appreciative if you could make a beginner tutorial to explain how it all connects to garageband. I haven't been able to make the transport control buttons to work (well apart from the note repeat button)

    @Elwaves2925 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's not something I'd use but it seems great, especially for that price. Why do they always seem to cheap out on cables/connectors, when it's surely one of the cheapest parts? This is why you never throw working cables away, even if the rest of the kit is gone.

  • @desoconnor7445

    Gosh…someone hit me with a wet fish..I’m astounded at the capability of the Donner Starrypad at the price point.I purchased mine for £59 from Amazon, note that’s pounds not Yankee dollars. I had it integrated with Reaper (windows)and AUM in the IOS environment with a few hours. IMHO the Donner pads perform as well as my machine Mikro II and those of a Nivation controller I have been using. The work flow is simple enough and amazingly you do as reported get the USB C converter as a very thoughtful inclusion . It’s a case of , it seemed to good to be true …but actually it is true ..this device delivers what it promises and all for the price of decent Friday night on the town. 🙏🙏🏿👍🎩✨🎵🎵🎵👏

    @bambeeification 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Can you connect the Donner Starrypad to an external synth like the Roland mc101, with the "midi out" from the Starrypad into the "midi in" port of the Roland?
    Can the two devices communicate with each other, and will the pad controller trigger sounds from the synth? Is there any particular configuration in the settings to adjust in order to make this two devices work together? Thanks.

    I want to assign sound effects for a live Dungeons and Dragons performance. It sounds like it should be fine. Any reason why this wouldn’t work, can I assign sound effects to each pad?

    Great vid as usual Patrick! I like the look of this. I noticed Donner a couple of years ago. I really liked the look of their stuff so I reached out with an E-mail to see if they might be interested in sending me something to demo. They haven’t replied yet so, I’m taking that as a no, 😂

      @@TheGaragebandGuide Yep. I like to think the manufacturers are stretching things a bit when they tell us to use only their own adapters. Basically, if it's the same voltage, it should work.

    Thank you. Thanks to the video, I began to understand a little what's what. But there are misunderstandings... I went to the Storypad Editor and found that the red SEND TO DEVICE button is not active. I can't save the changes. But I vaguely remember that at first I saved something. Was active. And also, GET FROM DEVICE does not work. Only the blue FACTORY RESET is active. I don't understand - what happened? And VSTi stopped sounding on the track. The signal goes, midi messages are recorded, but there is no sound...

    That's a nice little controller. I have been looking at something like this to use in live performance to trigger samples. It's a shame that they haven't got an iOS version of that software, though. It would have been nice to use their software on a more compact device than a laptop
