The nanoKONTROL from Korg is a slim line USB controller (about the size of an Apple computer keyboard) that nonetheless provides a huge amount of controller functions for DAW software or for programming virtual instruments. The unit features 9 faders, 9 encoders, 18 controller switches, and a full transport control section.

For added flexibility, attack and decay time can be specified for each of the 18 switches. This allows for smoothly feeding controller messages into parameters such as wet/dry levels for an effect, sweeping a filter on a synthesizer, or commanding a volume fader to execute a perfect fade.

An additional switch is provided that can recall any one of four scenes. These scenes allow all the controls on the unit to be set up in a particular configuration. They, for example, could be set up for one scene for mixing, while another scene can be programmed to edit a specific virtual instrument.

Comments about Korg nanoKONTROL - USB-MIDI Controller (White):

This little Kontrol is a great addition if you have midi keyboards that don't already have knobs and faders. I use it with Main Stage it's very easy to set up.It is limited in functionality, but still handy.

Comments about Korg nanoKONTROL - USB-MIDI Controller (White):

As a hobby DJ, I wanted an adjunct piece of equipment to my Numark Omni Control for controlling effects alone in Traktor Pro. This fits the bill perfectly.I find the little knobs are very smooth; the buttons have a firm and nice responsive feeling. The sliders, I'd say, are the weakest point of the whole thing, but they get the job done very well (not the smoothest, but not jerky by any stretch of the imagination). Having 4 scenes and 100% mappable buttons (even the ones that are labelled) is immensely useful. You will literally have more functionality than you need.Finally, you can't overlook the value. It's not the sturdiest, battle-proven piece of equipment you'll find by any stretch (it's plastic), but it's still a solid little controller. And for [$]!?! The bottom line is that the value is far greater than the price.For anyone looking for a MIDI-mappable, very portable, very fun controller with a lot of configuration potential, for a small price, I would recommend the Korg nanoKontrol in an instant.
