The nanoKEY from Korg is a slim line USB keyboard controller (about the size of an Apple computer keyboard) that despite its size provides very functional keyboard triggering of a software based sound-generating device. The 25 velocity sensitive keys can respond with 4 distinct velocity curves that allow for various playing styles, while the octave "Up" and "Down" buttons provide access to the full MIDI note range.
Pitch and modulations buttons provide a preset amount of pitch change and modulation, but can also be programmed for faster or slower pitch bends, or in the case of the modulation button, the control change number, and the values that will be transmitted. When set to CC MODE, each key of the nanoKEY can generate distinct MIDI control data.
