The series is comprised of the nanoKey, the nanoPad and the nanoKontrol. Quite simply, the names best explain each purpose. The nanoKey is a 25-note, velocity-sensitive MIDI implemented keyboard, packaged with the software, Korg’s M1Le—basically a more simplified version of it’s Legacy Collection software. Aimed mainly at DJ’s, the nanoPad sports (that’s an Australian synonym for contains) 12 trigger pads and an X/Y pad, packaged with Toontrack’s EZDrummer Lite, a software freely available to owners.
Predictably enough, nanoKEY is a keyboard-a 25-note, velocity-sensitive model. As well as being useful for recording chords and melodies, it can also be used to send MIDI control data. It will ship with a download code for the full version of Korg’s M1Le-a cut-down version of the synth that forms part of the Legacy Collection Digital Edition bundle.
Nine faders, nine knobs, 18 switches and a transport section. The nanoKontrol seems to appeal primarily to those in need for a portable DAW (digital audio workstation) who aren’t fond of carrying around a giant mixing desk. Regardless, bundled with the nanoKontrol will be a discount code for Ableton Live.
According to DV247.com, you can expect the products to be available October this year, pricing as follows:
• nanoKontrol – £59
• nanoKey – £49
• nanoPad – £59
So expect to pay an approximation of $100 USD for each.
