This makes the unit around twice as deep, but shaves a couple of inches off the width, leaving a footprint like an elongated iPad Air. We provide “KORG KONTROL Editor” software that lets you freely customize the settings of the nanoKEY Studio.

With the nanoKEY Studio that supports wireless connection via Bluetooth MIDI, your iPhone can instantly transform into a music production tool. Well, to be correct, you can hook up to a Mac or PC and set different channels for the eight scenes, but that isn't ideal. Tempo tap function allows you set the tempo by pressing the button multiple times for optimal accuracy. You have the all controllers you need to operate your DAW: sliders that feature generous spacing and stroke, plus a convenient jog wheel. The Korg NanoKey Studio is a compact 25-key MIDI keyboard that comes equipped with 25 velocity-sensitive backlit keys as well as eight performance pads, eight control knobs, and a touchpad alongside a wealth of professional functions and controls.I've just made a small DJ controller with knobs, buttons, (cross)faders and incremental jog wheels a Bluetooth device and it's able to send more than 600 MIDI messages per second over Bluetooth without a problem so I wonder why KORG would artificially lower the knob resolution. The Studio provides a keyboard, knobs, trigger pads, and touch pad which lets someone instantly convert someoner inspiration into sound.

However, some Korg apps support the devices directly, allowing direct control over the Bluetooth connection, and offering more integrated functionality. Even when you assign stuff to the pads their core functions remain when holding down shift and tapping the pads. With its modern design, the nanoKEY Studio is ideal for use with new devices such as your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. The other main physical differences are the jog wheel and a Scene button, which toggles the whole surface through five separate controller assignment pages when used in stand-alone MIDI mode.It supports a fair number of scales and can either visualize the keys that belong to the scale or reduce the white keys to the notes in the selected key and scale.

Even if you’re not the most skilled player, the 25 velocity-sensitive keys allows you to step-record easily.

If your goods develop a fault within the warranty period, we'll quickly repair or replace the item for you. There is also a touchpad that has been inherited from the Kaossillator range of instruments and provides you with one-finger control over your software synthesiser and modulation sources; the touchpad can also be used to control the arpeggiator rhythm patterns so you can generate musical phrases by merely touching the pad. When I’m sitting somewhere with the iPad standing and the nanoKeys in front of it sometimes people ask what is this funny music laptop and indeed it is. The nanoKEY Studio provides a keyboard, knobs, trigger pads, and touch pad that lets you instantly convert your inspiration into sound. The biggest let down in this amazing package is that Korg has not made an iOS app to help edit all of the midi control options.
