Overview
Max/pk is a collection of patches for Max/MSP that streamlines input and output to Korg's padKONTROL MIDI controller. It provides an object-oriented approach to managing the padKONTROL's 'Native Mode', which allows the user to not only retrieve information about every single pad hit, but also to control the LEDs in each pad as well as the main LCD display.

Notes
I worked on this collection of patches shortly after learning Max/MSP, so I wouldn't be surprised if it had some glaring newbie errors. Nevertheless, it's been well-tested in my patches. I am, admittedly, a little uncertain about its future - I may be pursuing a more home-brew solution to the padKONTROL and other MIDI control as I investigate the very excellent Juce audio & GUI framework. But I will definitely post any updates if they happen along, and if anyone else would like to contribute, let me know!
