Product Description

Meet the most compact family of USB-MIDI controllers ever! Introducing the new Korg nanoSERIES USB powered slim-line controllers - so small you can put them on your workstation, in front of your laptop, on a recording console or anywhere else you need versatile control over your DAW, virtual instrument/effect or DJ software.

Korg nanoKEY - A Flexible MIDI Keyboard Controller That's Smaller Than a Laptop Keyboard

When Korg set out to build a slim-line MIDI controller keyboard, they utilized their years of experience in manufacturing innovative MIDI keyboards to create a great-feeling, velocity sensitive keyboard based off a laptop keyboard. The resulting 25-note keyboard on the Korg nanoKEY will transmit your playing dynamics to your software accurately and expressively. In CC (Control Change) MODE, the keys become MIDI controllers, allowing you to control any MIDI assignable parameters within your software.

The Octave Shift function offers immediate access to the entire MIDI note range. Pitch and modulation buttons are also provided, giving your performances the kind of expression that you would expect from any controller regardless of its size.

With the "KORG KONTROL Editor" (downloadable free of charge from korg.com), you can customize the nanoKEY to match your control needs. It lets you select between three velocity curves or fixed velocity, set MIDI CC values, and even allows you to edit the assignments for the minimum and maximum values of the control change messages transmitted by the modulation buttons or in CC MODE.

Korg nanoSERIES

Despite their small size, all three controllers go HUGE when it comes to functionality, yet their intuitive layouts provide extremely easy operation for any user. The nanoKEY features a great-feeling 25-key velocity-sensitive keyboard that's ideal for song production. The keys can also be set to send MIDI control data, further expanding its power. The nanoPAD features 12 highly responsive trigger pads, also capable of sending both notes and MIDI control data, plus an X-Y pad with roll and flam functions giving you a unique interface for realistic drum programming. The nanoKONTROL offers nine faders, nine knobs and 18 switches plus a full transport section for expansive control; plus it features a note input mode to help you lay down your next big groove!

What's a Controller Without Software?
Even if the Korg nanoSERIES controllers are your first foray into MIDI control, you can rest assured that you'll be able to get connected to software quickly. As an added value, the nanoKEY includes a download code for the full version of Korg's M1Le, which faithfully recreates the legendary Korg M1 workstation. Plus, an upgrade path will let you graduate to the Legacy DIGITAL EDITION software suite, which has an even more expansive version of the M1, the renowned WaveStation and 19 great MDEX effects. The nanoPAD comes complete with a download code for Toontrack's EZDrummer Lite, offering super-realistic, highly responsive drums in a convenient plug in, plus you can upgrade to the full version of EZDrummer for a special price. The nanoKONTROL includes a discount coupon for Ableton Live LE software. What's more; a free downloadable Editor/Librarian will help you create setups to suit your specific control needs in all three models.

"Korg Nanokey. And affordable, portable midi controller."
Sound: This is a midi controller so it doesn´t have any sound by itself. Nevertheless, it comes with a coupon to license the software version of the Korg M1, which an exact version of the M1. The sounds are cool and very useful (even for a sound engine made for the late 80´s) I enjoy playing the M1 with the Nanokey and I can carry it wherever I go with my laptop! Feature: This is a very basic keyboard controller. It have two octaves, a pitch bend, a modulator, keys to move the octaves up and down and a switch to turn your keys into CC event senders. You can edit their functions with an editor. The keys are like laptop keys but velocity sensitive. Just what it is required for a very portable solution. Ease of Use: As I mentioned in the "Features" section, this device is very basic. You won´t get loss using it. Quality: It´s a Korg. With normal care it will last years. Just keep in mind that this is not a weighted piano-like keyboard...it is a portable midi controller of $49!! If you can set your mind on the purpose it is meant to be, you will find that the quality is quite enough for the purpose it has been designed. Value: I don´t think that there is another product like this one in this price range. It fits my purposes and I´m satisfied of what I get from what I paid for it Manufacturer Support: I have never contacted Korg support before. I own also an M3 and some other accesories. The Wow Factor: For me it was so cool to have the Black version. It looks great! Also the size of it called my attention. This is the most portable midi controller I found. Overall: As I said before, I own an M3 but unfortunatelly I´m not able to carry it everywhere anytime I want. With this tiny keyboard, I can go everywhere and I just need my laptop (with the M1 Le) and headphones to enjoy the music! I´m a music addict and with this device I can play the keyboard almost everywhere! If you doubt if this keyboard can be useful for something, just check the videos from Jordan Rudess rocking with it!

"Get It!!!!"
Sound: No sound, USB controller Feature: WOW! It has pitch/mod controls. no plug for sustain pedal 1/8 would bee nice. Ease of Use: Smaller than normal keys but easy to use Quality: indures a lot, the keys velocity sensitive (I actually used it in a gig) Value: Good price, would be nice to have a package deal with the other Nano Kontrols Manufacturer Support: Don't need it The Wow Factor: I have it (must be good it keeps selling out) Overall: Does exactly what I bought it for, small light and portable. I can carry it in my sling bag with my laptop (studio on the go-welcome to the 21 century), hop on my motorcyle and keep going!!!!
