I'm ready to get into finger drumming seriously and want to get a 4x4 pad setup, and the Maschine Mikro MK3 seems to be a favorite (and I'm aware of the NI financial drama, but my assumption is that since it's a class-compliant MIDI device, it should just keep working even if they go away).

My one problem is that it's wide and it needs to fit on my desk (or else it won't get the love it deserves). Since I probably don't care about anything left of the actual pads, could I rotate the whole device 90º to the right so that I'm basically playing from what was intended to be the right side of it? The pads seem to be squares. The layout is a square. Is there anything about the pads that wouldn't work well rotated?

Thanks all!
