Korg - nanoKEY Studio MIDI Controller - Black

Product Information

With a size smaller than a letter sized sheet of paper the nanoKEYS can be carried in a bag and be ready for music creation at any given time. To get the hang of all these features, I left the PDF manual open as I worked, because the nanoKey Studio is fairly deep for its innocuous footprint. I personally don't mind them, they are usable enough and when you need velocity they beat the iPad screen. It can easily connect to iPad/iPhone music apps such as KORG Gadget and Apple GarageBand, or to your Mac/Windows music production software.

On occasion I had frustrating connectivity issues: I found the Bluetooth connectivity sketchy as the batteries got low, and the units were also fussy about which USB cables I used. The Nanokey Studio comes bundled with a huge suite of plugins including Gadget 2Le, Module, Ozone Elements, AAS Ultra Analog Session, Propellerhead Reason Lite, UVI Digital Synsations and more. Positiv überrascht war ich von der mitgelieferten light-Verion von Korg Gadget (quasi ein DAW mit integrierten Synthesizern). You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. But it needs a powerbank to be portable - and how do I connect the iPad if the USB port is used for power?

For example, in iMS20 the original NanoKontrol can control the part mixer, among other things, but the Studio does nothing, not even transport. Eight highly-sensitive performance pads enable you to play drum grooves as well as piano chords and will convey all the subtle nuances of your performance. Still, gadget integration is cool albeit you can achieve that with any controller with a bit of midi learning. In general, I find that if I think of the NKS in terms of how disappointing the implementation of its extra features are, I'm pretty dissatisfied.

With a simple, refined, and stylish design, along with beautiful lighting with white LEDs, you won't get tired of using it every day.

I’ve got custom artwork on these from Half Sumo Collective… I hope you guys dig them as much as I do. As a performing artist, I think the real testament to a product’s value for me is whether it makes it into my permanent rig. IIRC, even though the range is from 0-127, the resolution is 64 meaning that it sends only odd or even values.

The other main physical differences are the jog wheel and a Scene button, which toggles the whole surface through five separate controller assignment pages when used in stand-alone MIDI mode.There’s no mention of Reason (which is strange as Reason Lite is the one bundled DAW), but it does work up to a point via the Mackie emulation.

It’s easy to connect to an iPad/iPhone music app such as Korg Gadget or Apple GarageBand, or to your Mac/Windows music production software. Compared to the Kontrol 2, the Kontrol Studio is spread into a more comfortable layout with the Mute, Solo, Rec and select buttons moved out from between the faders and up into the more traditional position above. It’s a light-weight, compact mobile MIDI controller that lets you create music more intuitively than ever.
