This MIDI Controller's Smaller Than Your Laptop Keyboard!

The Korg nanoKEY is an incredible-feeling, velocity-sensitive USB MIDI controller keyboard that's smaller than a laptop keyboard! When you want intensive control over your virtual instruments — and control you can take anywhere — look to the Korg nanoKEY. This 25-note keyboard boasts an Octave Shift function so you have access to every note plus must-have expression tools are onboard for taking charge of pitch and modulation. You can even customize the nanoKEY to match your control needs, adjusting velocity curves, MIDI control change values, and setting min/max control change messages. Leave it to Korg to redefine our expectations with the nanoKEY!





Korg's nanoKEY is an extremely slim-line USB MIDI controller keyboard. In fact, this little guy is so small it makes your laptop keyboard look big. Yet, Korg managed to pack in all their know-how to deliver the kind of high-quality, great-feeling device we've come to expect. Enjoy full control over your DAW functions and virtual instrument plug-ins with the nanoKEY's 25-note keyboard. You can shift octaves, change pitch and modulation independently, even throw the nanoKEY in to CC (Control Change) MODE to switch the keys to MIDI-assignable parameter controls. Now you don't have to let anything get between you and your music — in the car, on the plane; all you need is your laptop, the nanoKEY, and a set of headphones and you're right back in the studio.

Yes, small in size — but Korg's ardent commitment to superb design guaranteed that the nanoKEY would be huge in its features. Despite being an ultra-convenient MIDI controller as it is, you can even download Korg Kontrol Editor software for free and customize the nanoKEY to match your individual needs. Select between three different velocity curves or fixed velocity - or set MIDI Control Change values and edit the minimum and maximum values of control change messages transmitted by the modulation buttons. What's more, the nanoKEY comes with a full copy of Korg's M1Le software which faithfully recreates the sounds of the legendary Korg M1 workstation. In sum? Korg's nanoKEY is a bite-sized beast.

Just to let you know, it works with the core midi of the iPad if you use the camera connection kit. Really useful!

I am a huge fan of Korg's Nanokeys. As a composer who often travels, this is a wonderful and portable way to enter notes. It is tiny and light, and has a slick lights mechanism to let you know which ... read more [+]octave you're in. Thank you, Korg. close [-]

nano KEY rocks!

Blown Away! Yeah it is that good! Korg really out did themselves on the nano products. Many times I've read things by other manufactures claiming to change the world of music. The specs say one thing ... read more [+]and very often what you get is a piece of junk not even close to the specs. You won't find this with Korg's nano products. When they say velocity, THEY MEAN VELOCITY! The nanoKEY has real velocity sensing, AMAZING. KORG has always provided things ahead of thier time. But with the nano KEY they are light years ahead. I like it so much I bought two,and they both work at the same time. This allows me to have a true four octave keyboard. I can play chords with the left hand while playing a lead line in the same octave, or two,three,four,five,ect. higher/lower. A true four octave keyboard. These nano's rock. close [-]

An extremely portable midi controller keyboard at a great price

Music Background: Student
The first thing that I could not get over is its small size. I knew it was small but I was not expecting its actual size. It is something you have to see for yourself. It has a good feel to it as you ... read more [+]play it. The keyboard has many features in a small size. It is perfect for traveling on the road with your laptop. You can download from the Korg website a copy of the M1Le Software and register it with the serial number included in the box. I comes with a usb cable and a discount for Ableton Live. It is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a portable keyboard. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
The Korg nano series of controllers offer a scalable and versatile soultion for studios and the traveling musician. Lightweight and lean, these controllers take up very little real estate on your desktop or at a live show, maximizing the little space you may need to work with.
