      Korg nanoKEY MIDI Keyboard Controller - Black (580359)
Availability:  


Serious music production in a seriously small space—now in a cool black design.

The nanoKEY MIDI controller is part of Korg's nanoSERIES USB-powered slimline controllers that are 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 it's small size, the nanoKEY MIDI 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 slim-line MIDI controller keyboard, they used 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 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, 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 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. You also get a free downloadable Editor/Librarian to help you create setups to suit your specific control needs.

  • Keys

    As reviewed by Matt Andre on 5/30/2011

    The keys are not too great. They are hard to play on and they do the annoying thing where they respond .5 seconds later after you hit them. There's not really a pitch bend or the other bender, just buttons. But for the price its...okay for the what you get. Overall, the keys are accurate when it comes to how hard you hit them (softness and loudness). Just a whole different feel and late response. I can never get used to it.

  • Cheap and Portable

    As reviewed by Jason Pluemke on 6/30/2010

    I bought the nanokey to go with FL Studio and use all the sounds on-stage instead of having to get another keyboard that would do all the sounds I wanted. Its extremely portable and was pretty easy to set up. The keys are a little weird (and they are actually sensitive to how hard you press them) and it takes some time to get use to playing it, but its a good deal.

  • Cheap and easy, just like---

    As reviewed by Redtail on 10/28/2009

    Budget-oriented miniature keyboard that offers plug-and-play functionality to computers already configured to operate USB-MIDI systems, sharp looks, and it does exactly what it says on the box. Not a lot of frills, but for this price, who's complaining? USB offers slightly higher latency than a suitable MIDI input, but with a properly configured ASIO audio driver and a decent DAW suite, it's enough.
