Yup you answered your own question their Starkeeper Totally assignable, and two banks. Plus from what I've read it maps the pads to standard (keyboard drum mapping) 32 pads would't be limiting either (I know I don't use the entire 61+ percussive instruments on each kit with my synths).. The pads would be great for your actual acoustic kit, bongos, and a few other instruments.

Dnj,

Yes the Fantom has touch sensitive pads on the panel. Every Fantom owner I've talked to "loves" those pads, and use them exclusively to record their drum tracks. I'd midi up one of my drum machines, but they both only have "midi-in".

Like I said for $99.00 what a deal. I'm going to check with a few local stores to see if they carry it, and if not probaby order one by nights end.
