Korg NanoKontrol2 USB Slim-Line Black MIDI Keyboard Controller

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. This compact device also features a dedicated transport control section, with carefully selected buttons that ensure simple and intuitive control for a wide range of software titles, including major DAW programs. The arrangement of a knob, fader, and three switches for each of the eight channels, respectively assigned to pan, volume, and solo/mute/record, is a real convenience when recording automation for multiple channels. Additionally, the presence of a marker button makes it easy to assign marks at important points in your song, facilitating more efficient recording and song production.

When using a software synthesizer, the nanoKONTROL2 allows you to assign parameters to the desired controllers for easy control. For instance, 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 device is compatible with the "Korg Kontrol Editor" software, available free on the Korg website, which enables you to make detailed customized settings, such as specifying the minimum and maximum values for each control change message.

Connecting the nanoKONTROL2 to your computer via a single USB cable provides a quick and portable music production system, with power and USB-MIDI data traveling down the same wire for a clean and efficient workspace. The low-profile, multi-function control surface includes new track select and marker advance parameters, further enhancing the device's functionality and integration with a wide range of software titles, including major DAW programs.
