Out of stock | | | | | | Korg nanoSERIES The Korg nanoSERIES are USB-powered, slim-line controllers are designed to make the most of your valuable studio space, and are small enough to take with you on any musical journey. Place one in front of your laptop, rest one on your workstation, park one on a recording console - or anywhere else you need versatile control over your DAW, virtual instrument, effect or DJ software. Small in size, all three controllers go HUGE when it comes to functionality, yet their intuitive layouts provide extremely easy operation for any user. Korg nanoKey The Korg nanoKey is a slim-line USB controller featureing a great-feeling, velocity sensitive 25-note keyboard which will transmit your playing dynamics to your software accurately and expressively. 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 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. Even if the Korg nanoSERIES controllers are your first foray into MIDI control, you can r | | | | | |

Korg nanoKey May 19, 2009
By Michael D. Haight
"Drifely"
Like probably most computer composers, I've lived with the tradeoffs of trying to have a computer keyboard and a midi keyboard handy when basically they are designed to be in the exact same position relative to my hands. While I won't be writing masterpieces with this little guy, the size puts it right where I want it for putting in a few notes or chords while keeping my desktop organized for regular non-musical work. Just having it there is like finally getting to scratch an itch I've had for years. The build quality is very good--for what it is...a tiny handy two octave musical data entry tool. Also, it looks very cool.

mini Feb 16, 2009
By Sensei Great little keyboard. Excellent for traveling! However, when I received it, one of the keys didn't work, so I had to get a replacement. The keys do feel a bit on the cheaper side of things, a little bit wobbly, plastic, springy-feel. But it works fine. The velocity is fine too. Works much better than using your keyboard pad if you're a Logic user (which doesn't have velocity sensitivity).

Portable + Flimsy = Bad Aug 03, 2009
By Anthony Lin I'll keep this short and sweet. I find myself doing a lot of laptop production on the go (can't really concentrate at home), and really *needed* a portable keyboard to see the keys and play chords on. I thought the Korg would be perfect. Owned it for about a month, used it maybe 4 or 5 times, and one day I opened up my bag to see a couple keys off and the paper-clip/model airplane latch to have fallen off the keyboard. I don't ever recall dropping my laptop bag -- I had a cheap mouse and pair of sunglasses in the bag that looked completely unscathed. Tried putting the keyboard back together, but no luck.
Korg -- if you advertise a unit as portable (which this small keyboard surely is), please make it hold up to at least a minimal amount of abuse. I'm not asking for it to be bulletproof, and I'm sure if I had a hard case the unit would still be fine.
Would've given this 2 stars for at least a bit of utility, but thinking of my wasted $50 isn't making me feel any better. I'll be picking up the new Akai portable keyboard, scheduled to be released 3Q 2009.

Dont waste your time Apr 27, 2010
By N. Campbell If this thing was 10 dollars I would say yeah go for it, maybe it would be nice for your laptop when you are on a road trip or something(Assuming you don't have a mac and aren't using logic or garage band which have keyboard pianos built in). Unfortunately it isn't 10 dollars, it's 60 dollars. The thing seriously feels like a toy, and not a well made toy. It feels like the kind of toy you buy at the dollar store. It's plastic keys make snapping sounds when you press them down which make you think it is going to break at any moment. Not only that but sometimes the keys just don't work. Are they seriously asking for 60 dollars when it clearly costs under a dollar to make? Korg you have gone downhill since the 80s. Get your act together. I owned a Korg M3 for a while which is the top of the line music workstation. It didn't impress me either. A week after I bought it a few of the drum pads stopped working and I returned it. Bottom line is don't bother with this Nano, it isn't worth your time.

Key fell off! Dec 03, 2009
By Regnard Raquedan I bought the Korg nanoKey with much excitement from the very good reviews. But my experience with the product is similar to the person who wrote the bad review.
Right out of the box, one of the keys was not working. A few days after, I discovered it was unhinged and it eventually fell off.
The rest of the keys are OK, plus the key sensitivity is good as advertised. However, the keys are just NOT sturdy and secure that minimal transit can cause them to fall off. :(
