Serious music production in a seriously small space. |
The nanoKEY is part of KORG's nanoSERIES
USB-powered slimline 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.
Despite its small size, the
nanoKEY controller goes big when it comes to functionality. Its
intuitive layout provides 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.
A flexible MIDI keyboard controller that's smaller than a laptop keyboard
When KORG set out to build a slimline MIDI controller keyboard, they
utilized their years of experience in manufacturing innovative MIDI
keyboards to create a comfortable-feeling, velocity-sensitive keyboard
based off a laptop keyboard. The resulting 25-note keyboard on the
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 among 3
velocity curves or fixed velocity, and set MIDI CC values. It 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.
Even if the KORG nanoKEY controller is your first
foray into MIDI control, be 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 M1 LE that faithfully
re-creates 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. You also get a free
downloadable Editor/Librarian to help you create setups to suit your
specific control needs in all 3 models.
