Korg nanoKONTROL2 Compact USB Control Surface, Black

The Nanokontrol2, a body proportioned to fit perfectly in front of your laptop computer, provides eight channels of the controllers you need to control your music software. Featuring a dedicated transport control section, the buttons have been carefully selected to be useful with your software, ensuring simple and intuitive control. Supported by many software titles, including major DAW programs, the Nanokontrol2 dramatically reduces the need to make complicated connection settings.

Each of the eight channels is equipped with a knob, fader, and three switches, respectively assigned to pan, volume, and solo/mute/record. This arrangement is a real convenience when recording automation for multiple channels. Additionally, there's a marker button, making it easy to assign marks at important points in your song for more efficient recording and song production.

When using a software synthesizer, you can assign parameters to the desired controllers for easy control. For example, you could use the faders to control the ADSR of an envelope generator and the knobs to control the filter's cutoff frequency and resonance.

The Nanokontrol2 works with the "Kong KONTROL editor" Software, available free on the Kong website. By loading it into your computer, you can use it to make detailed customized settings, such as specifying the minimum and maximum values for each control change message.

Connecting a single USB cable from your computer to the Nanokontrol2 provides a quick and portable music production system, with power and USB-MIDI data traveling down the same wire for a clean, efficient workspace. The low-profile, multi-function control surface also supports new track select and marker advance parameters, making it a versatile tool for numerous software titles, including major DAW programs.
