Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The nanoKEY is an ultra-compact keyboard controller, featuring a great-feeling 25-key velocity-sensitive keyboard that's ideal for song production. Each key on this USB-MIDI controller can also be set to send MIDI control data, further expanding its power.

Huge functionality in a small package. Click to enlarge.

The Korg nanoSERIES
The Korg nanoSERIES provide a keyboard controller, a pad controller, and a studio controller with dedicated transport controls. Each of these USB-powered, slim-line controllers is designed to make the most of your valuable studio space, and is small enough to take with you on any musical journey. Place one of our keyboard controllers in front of your laptop, rest a pad controller on your music workstation, park a studio controller on your recording console--or anywhere else you need versatile control over your DAW, virtual instrument, effect or DJ software. Although small in size, all three nanoSERIES controllers go huge when it comes to functionality, yet their intuitive layouts provide extremely easy operation for any user.

nanoKEY--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 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.

Product Description

The Korg nanoKey 25 Key Keyboard is a unique, easily transportable MIDI Controller Keyboard that is little in size, but huge with functionality and features! 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. As an added value, the nanoKEY also includes a download code for the full version of Korg’s M1Le, 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. Also included is a free downloadable Editor/Librarian to help you create setups to suit your specific control needs.

Korg nanoKey May 18, 2009

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 February 15, 2009

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 August 3, 2009

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.
