Is it sensitive enough to be played by fingers? I am just trying to get an idea how sensitive the pads are.

It is, you've got to get a solid poke in though. If you are asking whether they can just respond to touch, however, the answer is no.

Yes its pretty sensitive. It also has a button specifically for playing with just your hands.

yes you can play with fingers , I also play like you would bongos . but drum sticks are best .

Yes, it is sensitive enough to be played by fingers. But it really does play best with drumsticks. We have played it with bare hands like bongos, and it works well.

Yes it is quite sensitive and you can play with your fingers. I just bought one 2-3 months back and since then have played it only once. I am planning to sell mine for $95 + shipping.would you be interested ?

I received mine and it sounds great. These penny whistles dont take a lot of air to play so it is easy for some people to blow too hard. It is all about control. If youd like to know how mine sounds and how I play, email me at hoggunott@gmail.com.

Shouldn't be a problem. It's a fairly solid and heavy pad. I play it on a couch cushion and the bed and it is solid, no movement at all.

If you need free range of motion to play, then I recommend any large mouse pad. A soft surface that is durable and large isn't easy to find.

I use it all the time, works great for me. Make sure all the connections are secured. ie: the pads, if pads are loose, you will get a jolt. Found out the hard way. Try that.

Yeah, I would say both stiff and responsive. I actually haven't used many different drum pads, but I like these ones. It's a solid controller, overall.

The keys are very sensitive. I got this piano for a handicapped kid and the keys respond to her kicking then softly.

With touch-response, the volume will depend on how hard you hit the keys. The easiest solution is to adjust the volume, and as you practice you can better incorporate dynamics into your playing.

Hi Chris,Fingering wise, I'd say this the most uncomfortable yamaha recorder to play. You need to stretch your fifth finger on the right hand and you'll have problem if you got small hands. Having said that this recorder has the best sound between other yamaha recorders. I own and play all of them. I came across a factory shop website in us where they add a pedal to this recorder to make playing easier. I'm sure you can find em if you search.Cheers!Pejman

Hi, Ms. Monahan - the Touch Control can not be turned off but it has different settings which include soft - medium or Hard! - But it didnot affect my playing ability, It's Sounds Terrific - Up to this DAY!

I am not a huge fan of the touch pad. It is very unresponsive at times. Really bugs me. Other than that, it is an excellent laptop.

The general consensus around various forums seems to be that the the Korg's pads are much more sensitive than the Akai's. I recenty purchased the PK and have no complaints; the pad sensitivity is indeed spot on.

you can change the sound of all the pads , I use the cymbals as percussion sometimes but you can change the cymbal to a drum if you want.

Oh, no! They outlast your finger oils. We've bought several decks already, but not because they were cheap or worn out. It's because we played so much and so often that we couldn't stand our own finger oils anymore. It's so much fun.

Sorry, I'm not a gamer. The sound is excellent with all sorts of music, including very loud and very full such as a large orchestras playing very loudly with crashing percussion, so my best guess would be they would be good for gaming too. They don't have a separate bass which some other sets have, so (again I'm guessing) if you're looking for really loud thumps and things like that, a set with a separate bass may better achieve it. Hopefully a gamer will chime in.

It can be played quite easily with a keyboard and mouse. I don't own a gamepad, so I don't know if using that makes it any better or worse, but a keyboard and mouse works just fine:)

You just touch the pad - it is sensitive enough not to need any pressure. It will respond even if you lightly brush it with your bare skin. However, it only responds to skin contact (i.e. won't work if you try to touch it with gloves on).
