## Description

Product description An all-in-one that delivers inspiration The nanoKEY Studio provides a keyboard, knobs, trigger pads, and touch pad that lets you instantly convert your inspiration into sound. It is battery operated and can connect wirelessly to iPhone/iPad or Mac/Windows. It’s a compact, mobile MIDI keyboard that is easy to travel with, allowing ease of use anytime, anywhere. Step-record as easily as typing Lightweight and compact design Create the ultimate in mobile music production Eight high-sensitivity trigger pads Touch pad inherited from the KAOSS series assignable knobs for controlling DAW and plug-ins Even if you’re not the most skilled keyboardist, the 25 velocity-sensitive keys allows you to step-record easily. Smaller than a sheet of letter-sized paper, you can put the nanoKEY Studio in your bag and take it anywhere. The nanoKEY Studio supports wireless connection via Bluetooth MIDI, so your iPhone can instantly transform into a powerful music production tool. The eight velocity-sensitive trigger pads will convey every dynamic nuance of your drum performance. You can use a single finger to control a software synthesizer just like you can with a Kaossilator, or control a plug-in effect the same way as a KAOSS PAD. The eight knobs provide versatile control of your software synthesizers, plug-in effects, and DAW mixer. More freedom to produce music, via USB or wirelessly. The nanoKEY Studio can connect not only via USB but also wirelessly. It’s easy to connect to an iPad/iPhone music app such as KORG Gadget or Apple GarageBand, or to your Mac/Windows music production software. Liberated from annoying cables, you’ll be free to set up your system much easier than some other products. Thanks to careful tuning, you’ll enjoy low latency and high stability. Bluetooth MIDI Connect for Mac The dedicated utility "Bluetooth MIDI Connect for Mac" allows fast and simple wireless connection between your Mac and KORG Bluetooth enabled keyboard (such as the nanoSTUDIO series and microKEY Air). This greatly simplifies the sometimes troublesome process of establishing a wireless connection, letting you easily and quickly connect whenever you want. Bluetooth MIDI Connect for iOS "Bluetooth MIDI Connect" allows you to wirelessly connect your iPhone/iPad and KORG Bluetooth enabled keyboard (such as the nanoSTUDIO series and microKEY Air) even when using an app that does not support Bluetooth MIDI. This enables wireless connection for any app that supports Core MIDI. Technical Specifications

Review: A MIDI controller, not really a keyboard - If you are looking for a MIDI keyboard, this is not what you want. The "keys" are more like force-sensitive buttons even though they are laid out like keys. The spacing is too close together for a keyboard, and the keys themselves are a bit wobbly. You will play maybe 1 or 2 keys with each hand. That said, as a controller it has everything you could want. With Korg's Kontrol Editor, you can map the keys to send MIDI notes or events. There is a "Scene" button which lets you switch between mappings that you set up in the editor. I also like the fact that the keys light up when you press them. I was thinking I was going to use this as a keyboard when I bought it, but now I am liking the idea of mapping a few keys to notes for pads and drones and using the rest to send events to my DAW to change parameters on the instruments. BLE MIDI worked just fine. I did download the Korg driver before connecting the controller to Windows just to be safe, so I don't know if Windows 11 has a driver. It does work on Windows 11. Since Korg bills this as a controller and not a keyboard, it gets 5 stars from me because of its flexibility and compact size. It is fully wireless and battery operated, so it can go in a backpack and be ready whenever inspiration strikes.
Review: Throw down ideas and then do it proper later. That's what this is for. - Needed something small I could use to record simple midi into Logic. It does the job, and I've had no noticeable latency issues. The size is the best thing about it -- exactly what I wanted. BUT it's not great. - Bluetooth doesn't work in Logic. Have to go USB. Btooth works fine in Garageband for some reason. Works on my iPad without issue. - The software to edit the scenes sucks. I've still not been able to get it to save anything to the controller. It times out or some garbage. - Feels cheap. The pads are actually decent, but the keys are straight plastic and sometimes push in at an angle, getting caught and not registering. Dynamics "work" but you're going to have to do manual editing. You're not gonna throw down a serious solo on this, but for drums, bass, simple keys and melodies, it works.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A MIDI controller, not really a keyboard

If you are looking for a MIDI keyboard, this is not what you want. The "keys" are more like force-sensitive buttons even though they are laid out like keys.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome, but not without limitations
*by B***L on October 5, 2021*

It’s a very solid midi keyboard, I like that it has scale mode that allows you to choose the key type and root note (if that’s correct?) and then lights up the keys to play in that scale. This also allows one to play chords using the pads, in this chosen key. The arp function is one of the best, as to be expected with Korg. I find the arp to be useful on high hats, and sometimes synths. One thing is using it with an iPad, while cool, is a bit limiting in that iPads still haven’t caught up to pc in my experience as far as music software goes. Another drawback is it’s not really a keyboard, more of a representation of one. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as someone who has played a piano, it can be a bit annoying. It’s overall an awesome product, but I’d prefer a full size keyboard with similar scale and pad functionality, which I’m unsure about existing. One should also note, it’s easy to play this in one particular scale, but it’s a bit difficult to know what that scale is, in my experience.
