An industry giant unveils compact MIDI devices for music makers on-the-go!

Korg unveils its new series of MIDI controllers, the answer to every artist’s the nanoSeries devices. These MIDI series features three compact products the nanoKEY, the nanoPAD, and the nanoKONTROL.

The nanoKEY is built to be tough, and is a 25-note, velocity-sensitive model. Not only it is perfect for recording chords and melodies, it can send MIDI data as well. It boasts of an Octave Shift feature, giving you instant access to the entire MIDI note range. The nanoKEY also comes complete with pitch and modulation buttons, so your performance will have that natural controller expression, despite its 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 has 12 highly responsive trigger pads (including an X/Y pad) that are perfect both for laptop DJs and drum programming because of its roll and flam functions that provides unique interface ideal for 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. The nanoPAD can also send control change messages, which makes it a great interface for solos and multi tracks. You can turn objects on and off, or trigger clips during your live performances.

Finally, Korg finishes the deal with nanoKONTROL. It offers 9 faders, 9 knobs, 18 switches plus a full transport section for expansive control. That makes the nanoKONTROL the best DAW and plug-in control, and with its note input mode, laying down your next groove will be such a breeze.
