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

2Nice little accessory, but FRAGILE!  Aug 25, 2010
I got one of these things when it was new, and loved it. It was usable, rather inexpensive, and tiny. However, it recently broke. I had it in a cabinet, and I slid a magazine on top of it. One of the pages caught a couple of keys and tore them off! Wow, this thing is FRAGILE. It is OK if you take care of it, but useless when you have to throw it away.

Akai came out with the LPK25, which is the same concept, but looks more like a real keyboard. It is about the same width and depth as the Nanokey, but is over twice as thick which may or may not be a factor for you. The LPK25 adds an arpeggiator, but drops the pitch-bend buttons. The Nanokey also comes with a license for the basic M1 software synth (also usable as a VST) that the Akai does not come with, and the Akai is about $20 more.

3Nice, Usefull, But.......  Aug 10, 2010
I bought the NanoKey to use with Reason 4. Having moved away from hardware and being a computer musician, I needed something rather small that can sit on my desk out of the way when not in use. Let me say that the little board works just fine. Maybe I'm being picky, but the one thing I can't get past is how much it feels like a laptop keyboard. Thats sort of exactly what I was trying to get away from. Now let me say, this IS NOT a replacement for bigger, more complex midi boards. That being said, it just sort of feels like a toy. I think I'll be getting an Emu Xboard for my desktop, and keep the NanoKey for my netbook. All in all it's a great piece, it just feels weird.

1Not impressed  Jul 14, 2010
The keys were much like a laptop keyboard, which had little depth and made a loud click when you used them -- which irked me.

5GREAT!!!  Jul 10, 2010
Although the laptop-style keys are a far cry from a real piano, this lightweight, modular keyboard lives up to all it's promises. With a little practice, any issues I had with velocity sensitivity or missed notes disappeared. If you are looking for an ultra-portable, easy to use MIDI keyboard that costs about half what I would've payed for something this useful, look no further.
