An industry giant unveils compact MIDI devices for music makers on-the-go!
The new nanoSeries devices of Korg are particularly designed to meet the needs of artists who are always on the move making music anywhere, anytime, without compromising the control department. The bundle is composed of the nanoKEY, the nanoPAD, and the nanoKONTROL; all three will grant anyone to make music, anytime, anywhere.
Expected to be tough, the nanoKEY is no ordinary keyboard it is a 25-note, velocity-sensitive model. Aside from being very handy in recording chords and melodies, the nanoKEY can also be used to send MIDI data, further expanding its power. Its Octave Shift feature gives you immediate access to the entire MIDI note range, further expanding its power. It also has pitch and modulation buttons, so each performance will have that natural controller expression, despite its size.
You might be surprised to see the nanoKEY in a very small size. In fact it is so small, you can put it virtually anywhere you want in front of your laptop, in your work station, or wherever you need a versatile control over your virtual instrument or software. But despite its size, the nanoKEY comes with several benefits when it comes to functionality, but its intuitive layout makes operation a breeze for any user.
The nanoPAD on the other hand, is composed of 12 highly-sensitive trigger pads (including an X/Y pad) making it a great tool for laptop DJs as well as for doing drum programming (its roll and flam functions provide a one-of-a-kind interface that grants realistic drum programming). It is USB powered, and is also capable of sending both notes and MIDI control data.
The nanoPAD also has a Chord Trigger function that lets you enter chords onto a single pad, which helps you to make the most of the work surface as you create. You can transmit control change messages with the pad as well, making it a great interface both for soloing or multi tracks. You can either turn the objects on or off, or trigger clips on live performances.
Last but definitely not the least, Korg completes the series of MIDI controllers with the nanoKONTROL. It has 9 faders, 9 knobs,18 switches, and a full transport section giving you full control. That makes the nanoKONTROL the ideal DAW and plug-in control, and with its note input mode, laying down your next groove will be such a breeze.
Each of the four programmable scenes that the nanoKONTROL has grants you to set the controllers as you please So, you can send 168 different MIDI Control Change messages and MIDI notes using these switches conveniently. each of its 6 transport buttons can send both MIDI Control Change messages as well as MMC messages in order to control functions like start, stop, loop, or record.
Thanks to the Korg MIDI Bundle, taking full control over the quality of music that you create is now possible. Have all three at the price of one. Get the Korg MIDI Bundle, this day!
