Korg nanoKEY2

The nanoKEY2 features an advanced and up-to-date design. By combining the great-feeling touch that Korg has developed for its professional MIDI keyboards with the low-profile thinness of recent computer keyboard innovations, the nanoKEY2 provides a superior keyboard response for its class and size. It's designed with ample key width and plenty of space between the keys, reducing the chances of hitting a wrong note. The touch and velocity response have been carefully tuned, ensuring that your expressive performance will be conveyed accurately to your software.

The octave shift buttons, borrowed from Korg's MIDI controllers, allow the overall pitch to be shifted four levels, either up or down, in octave increments. When used in conjunction with the key transpose feature, the nanoKEY2 can access the entire range of notes in the MIDI spectrum. For enhanced performances, the nanoKEY2 also provides pitch bend buttons, a modulation button, and a sustain button, which is indispensable for piano or electric piano performance. For each of these buttons, the on/off switching speed can be specified over four levels, ensuring smooth changes that are appropriate for your performance.

Just connect a single USB cable from your computer to the nanoKEY2, and you've got a quick and portable music production system. Power and USB-MIDI data travel down the same wire for a clean, efficient workspace. The nanoKEY2 works with the Korg Kontrol Editor software, which allows you to make detailed customized settings. Choose from a total of four velocity settings: three velocity curves or fixed velocity; specify the control change messages transmitted by the modulation button and the sustain button.
