The nanoSERIES from Korg " Serious Music Production in a Seriously Small Space...
nanoKEY - A Flexible MIDI Keyboard Controller That's Smaller Than a Laptop Keyboard
The Korg nanoKEY is an incredible-feeling, velocity-sensitive USB MIDI
controller keyboard that's smaller than a laptop keyboard! When you
want intensive control over your virtual instruments - and control you
can take anywhere - look to the Korg nanoKEY. This 25-note keyboard
boasts an Octave Shift function so you have access to every note plus
must-have expression tools are onboard for taking charge of pitch and
modulation. You can even customize the nanoKEY to match your control
needs, adjusting velocity curves, MIDI control change values, and
setting min/max control change messages. Leave it to Korg to redefine
our expectations with the nanoKEY!
Nano size, not nano features
Korg's nanoKEY is an extremely slim-line USB MIDI controller keyboard.
In fact, this little guy is so small it makes your laptop keyboard look
big. Yet, Korg managed to pack in all their know-how to deliver the
kind of high-quality, great-feeling device we've come to expect. Enjoy
full control over your DAW functions and virtual instrument plug-ins
with the nanoKEY's 25-note keyboard. You can shift octaves, change
pitch and modulation independently, even throw the nanoKEY in to CC
(Control Change) MODE to switch the keys to MIDI-assignable parameter
controls. Now you don't have to let anything get between you and your
music - in the car, on the plane; all you need is your laptop, the
nanoKEY, and a set of headphones and you're right back in the studio.
Korg Kontrol Editor and M1Le software
Yes, small in size - but Korg's ardent commitment to superb design
guaranteed that the nanoKEY would be huge in its features. Despite
being an ultra-convenient MIDI controller as it is, you can even
download Korg Kontrol Editor software for free and customize the
nanoKEY to match your individual needs. Select between three different
velocity curves or fixed velocity - or set MIDI Control Change values
and edit the minimum and maximum values of control change messages
transmitted by the modulation buttons. What's more, the nanoKEY comes
with a full copy of Korg's M1Le software which faithfully recreates the
sounds of the legendary Korg M1 workstation. In sum? Korg's nanoKEY is
a bite-sized beast.
