A great midi controller/keyboard for the money, Bluetooth is a great feature. Knobs and pads a useful addition. Lightweight, but build quality has suffered for the price.

Echt een leuk ding. Ik kon niet echt veel info vinden over gebruik met korg gadget ios maar het leek me toch de gok waard,

Bij het aanzetten vind gadget hem gelijk. De draaiknoppen zijn nog even wennen met wat ze doen. De mapping en de effecten zijn niet altijd hrtzelfde. Soms moet ik ook gadget sluiten en opnieuw starten omdat hij niet meer reageerd. Hij is niet erg goedkoop ook.

De controller is echt een stuk makkelijker dan het scherm voor alles te moeten gebruiken. Ik ben nog aan het nadenken om de andere studio controller erbij te nemen.

Tevreden over. Het enige minpuntje is soms het klikgeluid,

daarom lang getwijfeld om deze te kopen. Ik heb het nu zeker niet beklaagd.

Als de muziek luid genoeg staat valt dit niet zo op.

Gekocht voor de korg gadget op mijn iPad.

Als je Korg Gadget hebt, is dit apparaat een must. Niet alleen krijg je native mapping (al is die met de ene gadget nuttiger dan bij de andere), maar je krijgt ook een activering van Korg Module LE en/of Gadget LE op een ander platform. Met Module LE krijg je er twee octaven bij en vier instrumenten en daarmee is het bijna hetzelfde als de (vrij dure) complete Module of Module voor iPhone app. Voor Gadget krijg je er drie sporen en drie gadgets bij voor de gratis LE versie.
Aanslaggevoeligheid is net voldoende om effectief te zijn. Dit is echt een priegelapparaatje voor in de studio of onderweg, hier ga je niet mee touren. De pads zijn trouwens wel gevoelig genoeg, al zijn ze wat klein.
De akkoordenmodus en de pads zijn wat raadselachtig in hun keuze en dus hun nut. De arpeggiator is best aardig.
Jammer is dat de pitch/modulation stand van de trackpad altijd vanuit het midden moet werken; je kunt dus niet naar een noot toe glijden. Dit is ook niet in te stellen.
Tof detail is dat het enige kleurige ledje ook meteen heel erg opvalt en dat is voor de octavenstand.

Prima apparaatje om te werken met korg gadget op mijn ipad.

Als er een klein nadeeltje aan zou zitten, is het dat de toetsen nogal snel een klikgeluid geven.
Maar dat is dan ook alles. Het draadloos spelen gaat echt fantastisch, je merkt echt GEEN latency.
Het ZAL er wel zijn, maar zo weinig, dat het te verwaarlozen is.

Voelt ook lekker stevig aan, ondanks het kunsstof.

Toetsen zijn natuurlijk niet full-size, maar toch groot genoeg voor mijn dikke worstvingers om redelijk nauwkeurig te kunnen bespelen.

Al met al een geweldig ontwerp van korg

Batterijen gaan ook lang mee.

achetés pour projet de micro studio ( avec iphone 6s plus qui a une dalle tactile 3d pour les effet d' aftertouch )

Il marche très bien ,reconnus automatiquement , ma seul crainte étais les touches avec un toucher trop plastique mais ça va enfin mieux que ce que me faissais entendre certains vidéo d' essai sur le net .
Après ça fais encore cher pour ce qui s' apparente à une version bluetooth du trio des anciens nanopad/key et kontrol de Korg.
Il serais judicieux d' arrêter de fabriquer du matos avec des touches en plastique ayant un bruit de clavier d' ordi ( mais la réactivité est bonne ) .
c'est à ce jour avec le CME xkey ( trop cher mon fils! ) la seul vraie solution nomade tout en un pour Ios .
il y a un vrai + à jouer sur le clavier ou les pads plutôt que juste sur l' écran par exemple pour moins galérer à monter ou descendre d' une octave pendant qu 'on joue
ce clavier prend tous son sens avec les appli korg ( type module ou gadget ) où les potards sont directement mappés pour faire varier les filtres des émuls de claviers analo .
la fonction arpège est un vraie plus

A espéré un jour une version plus novatrice et fournis (avec 37 touches avec aftertouch polyphonique, 16 pads et 8 potards/fader par exemple )
