General

Mobile music production is an unstoppable force, so it's no wonder manufacturers are putting all their efforts into developing increasingly compact accessories. Back in the 1980s, who could have thought that a small Korg nanoKontrol Studio USB/Bluetooth MIDI controller would have so much to offer? Thanks to its modest dimensions, this practical controller is a great match for your laptop, and an excellent way of operating your virtual mixer. Boasting eight sets of mute, solo, rec and select buttons, eight knobs and eight faders, the Korg nanoKontrol Studio easily outdoes your computer's mouse or your laptop's touch pad.

In control with the Korg nanoKontrol Studio

With the nanoKontrol Studio, Korg offers a winning combination of compact design and wireless functionality. The controller easily fits in your case or backpack, together with your laptop or iPad, but still has a well-organised layout that allows for quick, hands-on control. Its buttons offer the functionality you'd expect from a MIDI controller, and are backlit by white LEDs when they're activated. You can use the Korg nanoKontrol Studio to operate the DAW software on your iPad, iPhone, Mac, or Windows laptop or PC. In fact, the MIDI controller even comes with the KORG Software Bundle, a collection of popular apps and software that allows you to get started on your first music productions right away.

Prijzig apparaatje. Ik gebruik het ism Garageband/Logic. Tis even puzzelen om het aan te sluiten (juiste versie's). Daarover gebeld met Voerman, wat me meteen weer op weg hielp.

En ondertussen word ik er erg blij van om iets met je vingers te kunnen doen ipv met een muis.
Iets met knopjes en lampjes :-)

Prima apparaat dat precies doet wat er wordt beloofd.

In mijn Logic template heb ik groepen gemaakt met 7 instrumenten, waardoor ik met deze controller elk individueel instrument en de hele groep kan mixen. Ook voor het snel switchen tussen instrumenten in 1 groep is het ideaal. Het heeft mijn workflow een grote boost gegeven en dat voor een schappelijke prijs.

Tevreden over, neemt niet veel plaats in.

Gebruik meestal de controller voor de korg gadget op mijn i pad.

Draadloos: Bluetooth getest was ook ok.

Ik heb de controller nu een aantal weken, en ik vind het een geweldig apparaatje. Werkt geweldig goed samen met korg gadget op mijn ipad, en ook de koppeling met mijn mac-mini verliep absoluut zonder problemen. Er zitten waarschijnlijk nog meer mogelijkheden op die ik nog niet ontdekt heb.

Werkt ook vrij lang op de batterijen.

Het ding is wel van kunststof, maar hij voelt wel stevig genoeg aan om hem mee onderweg te nemen.
