Korg microKEY-37 37-key Keyboard Controller Reviews
Korg's microKEY2 MIDI controller keyboard embodies elegant simplicity, putting basic functionality over frills to provide you with an excellently playable set of keys wherever you need them. This microKEY2 features 37 keys, putting three octaves in easy reach, while remaining slim enough to fit in tight desktop setups. Dedicated pitch and mod wheels are also handy. Our customers and the keyboardists here at Sweetwater both appreciate the added portability of the second-generation microKEY line, which can now be powered right from your iPad or iPhone, and the addition of a damper pedal input is a nice touch. Top it off with a nice software package including titles from Korg, UVI, AAS, Propellerhead, and Ableton, and you can't go wrong with a microKEY2.
Malfunction with Windows OS
I wanted this keyboard for the compact design, but it doesn't work with windows…I hope they update the driver
does the job for me
I got this to have a keyboard at my computer to figure out chords and to have something while taking my piano lessons. My Windows PC did not recognize it until I got a program that has midi (I found Synthesia and am using the free version). My Mac saw it right away in Garage Band. Works great on both machines. I take piano lessons online that I can't take at my piano, so it's great to have this little keyboard at the computer to follow along. The keys are very small but adequate. For figuring out chords, the 37 keys is plenty even for spread out voicings.
NO NOT BUY THIS KEYBOARD
Do not buy this keyboard if you are using windows. It just simply does not work even after hours of troubleshooting. It even caused my computer to slightly act up in strange ways after plugging it in. Seems to work for some, but I know I'm not the only one experiencing these issues. Do not waste your money.
Keys are not great
Some internet reviews suggest that the keybed on the microKEY feels better than others in the same price range. I didn't think so.
Perfect for my needs!
I love this keyboard SO MUCH. I have been using a two-octave one for several years (to quickly input my music into Sibelius). It has been a pain, constantly pressing the "up" and "down" and trying to remember where I was octave-wise. I had been planning to find a three-octave and bought this one on a whim while buying my amp package. So glad I did. It is elegant-looking, the action is a bit higher (and better) than on my little two-octave and the three-octave range is perfect for what I do with it and the space I have too.
For anyone wondering, I plugged it into my "Windows 10" HP desktop, put up Sibelius, it found the keyboard instantaneously and the keyboard works perfectly with it.
Works fine for me!
I have been using it for about 5 years now and it works fine on Windows 7 and 10. I don't know what the other reviewer was encountering but I've not had any trouble with it being discovered by the OS. Does exactly what I need it to do.
