Kompakter Controller für unterwegs oder im Studio
chrblm 21.05.2021
Das nanoKEY Studio überzeugt vor allem durch die kompakte Größe (etwas kleiner als ein DIN A4 Blatt) und die unkomplizierte Bluetoothanbindung in iOS oder MacOS. Das Gehäuse ist zwar vollständig aus Plastik, es wirkt dennoch sehr stabil (es wirkt definitiv nicht billig). Man kann es für unterwegs problemlos einfach so in den Rucksack packen. Die Tasten erinnern an eine klassische Computer-Tastatur, sind aber gut bespielbar. Für das Einspielen kurzer Sequenzen reicht es völlig. Gut gefällt mir außerdem, dass sämtliche Tasten und Pads beleuchtet sind. So kann man sich zum Beispiel als Spielhilfe die richtigen Tasten für verschiedene Tonarten anzeigen lassen.
Positiv überrascht war ich von der mitgelieferten light-Verion von Korg Gadget (quasi ein DAW mit integrierten Synthesizern). Hiermit kann man direkt "Plug-and-Play" auf iOS oder MacOS loslegen inkl. direkten Mapping der Drehregler. Auf dem iPhone/iPad klappt die Verbindung sofort und man merkt kaum eine Latenz. Auf MacOS benötigt man eine zusätzliche Software, dann funktioniert es aber auch genau so gut. Man merkt, dass der Controller für die mobile Nutzung mit der Korg-Software ausgelegt ist, dennoch nutze ich ihn hauptsächlich zu Hause mit Logic. Durch die geringe Größe und Bluetooth-Konnektivität hat man ihn auch mal schnell vom Tisch geräumt.

Amazing features, very portable
Anonymous 13.08.2016
I use the nanoKEY Studio with the "Korg Gadget" mobile DAW software on an iPad.

The features are amazing for the price. The arp is great fun, and the scale features are very helpful. It is the perfect MIDI controller for an iPad.

However, it must be understood that the keyboard is not really designed for fluid playing a melody, it is more suited to triggering chords and arp sequences.

Perfect for commute
soundwhiz 08.09.2025
My job frequently makes it necessary to endure a 5 hour roundtrip commute and I bought the Korg nanoKey Studio in a bid to do something productive during all those hours and it has delivered. I use it with Reason, Ableton Live and Renoise on my laptop. The nanoKEY sits on my lap and the laptop on the tray table. Works amazingly well. It is a bit plasticky but it weighs almost nothing and can be thrown into a backpack with reckless abandon. 8 knobs to do automation with while the Estonian countryside scrolls past the windows. The scale function and chord function are both great learning tools and the arpeggiator is spot on. I recorded a 7 minute piece on my last commute and almost missed my stop. Well done, Korg.

Cute, but…
Terrordisco 05.05.2022
It works very well, its about as plasticky as it looks, but that means its ultra light, so thats an acceptable trade off for the backpack.
I haven’t used it for long enough to really evaluate.
But no real complaints.
Nice that it works on battery & bluetooth but also usb.

Can't beat the portability, but not a fan of the keyboard.
bVibe_ 27.10.2022
Connected to iOS/iPadOS with sero issues. pre mapped support with most music production apps. its a killer deal for sure. Had quite a bit of difficulty connecting it wirelessly to my macbook, so i wish that was more intuitive. all in all, its a great deal on a great product. I'd buy it again

Korg has deep love for music and it shows!
electrouyghur 30.10.2024
Very thought out keyboard, that is both modern and classic! You could program it to do crazy things and replace a whole bunch of other controllers
