Tech Tuesday: Korg NanoSeries

Korg has introduced the new nanoSeries line of MIDI control surfaces, designed for mobile music-making. If you think you can see Kanye, Timbaland, or the Neptunes in beat-making nows the time to put your money where your mouth is. Korg presents a full array of beat making technology, it's like a portable studio.

The lineup includes three products: nanoKEY, nanoPAD and nanoKONTROL:

  • nanoKEY is a 25-note, velocity-sensitive model. It will ship with a download code for the full version of Korg’s M1Le - a cutdown version of the synth that forms part of the Legacy Collection Digital Edition bundle.
  • The nanoPAD looks set to appeal to laptop DJs – an X/Y pad is also included – though the roll and flam functions suggest that it’ll also be useful for drum programming. Toontrack’s EZDrummer Lite will be freely available to owners of this one.
  • The nanoKONTROL offers nine faders, nine knobs, 18 switches and a transport section. A discount code for Ableton Live will come in the box.

All the nanoSeries controllers connect over USB. No word on pricing yet, stay tuned
