Interesting addition of these 16 lit pads to the user interface. Sixteen pads sixteen voices.
For the moment i will presume velocity sensitive and perhaps aftertouch sensitive pads. And multi-color backlit too.
ADDED TWO DAYS LATER: There is no velocity, no aftertouch on the pads, and they are not meant to be drummed.
Seems to my imagination that this is headed into a different performance space from the Quantum – rather than being just a rackmount / desktop Quantum.
