Korg, 25-Key Midi Controller (Nanokey2Bk),Black

Un teclado muy cómodo, sobretodo para llevarlo de viaje. Como teclado principal se queda corto al tener solo dos octavas y no tener teclas estándar, pero como teclado auxiliar me gusta mucho. Las teclas, pensaba que serían tipo pad pero se parecen más a las de un teclado de ordenador y no termina de convencerme su tacto, pero son muy sensibles, eso sí. No obstante, como teclado auxiliar lo recomiendo teniendo en cuenta el precio que tiene.

Eu tava procurando um primeiro controlador pra começar a produzir e o Nanokey 2 atendeu muito bem o que eu precisava. Ele é bem completo, 25 teclas, sobe e desce até 3 oitavas, tem controlador de pitch, sustentação e modificador que acredito ser customizável. É bem pequeno, super leve, muito bonito esteticamente. As teclas ficam levemente balançando, parecem ser levemente mal encaixadas e às vezes parece que não vai clicar do jeito esperado, mas o clique acontece. No geral, achei um ótimo teclado.

HINWEIS: Meine Rezension über den 'Korg USB Kontroller, 25 Keyboard-Tasten, schwarz' ist sehr ähnlich. Ich möchte aber hervorheben, dass ich kein gekaufter oder bestochener Rezensent bin, aber ich bin der Meinung, dass die Qualität und Einsatzfähigkeit aller Korg Nano Kontroller sehr ähnlich ist, daher unterscheiden sich meine Rezensionen nur marginal, sind aber dennoch zutreffend und objektiv.Zuerst einmal, ich bin Anfänger in der Hinsicht.Also ich habe in diesem Bereich nicht die besten Vergleichsmöglichkeiten, aber ich bin generell eher wählerisch. :)Kurz gesagt, ich bin sehr zufrieden.Sicherlich gäbe es Dinge, die verbesserungsfähig wären, wie z.B. das haptische Feedback der Tasten, aber in Relation zum Preis bin ich sehr zufrieden.Natürlich nicht zu sprechen von der Portabilität.In Sachen Kompatibilität habe ich den Korg Kontroller an 4 Rechnern getestet.MacOSX Mountain Lion:An meinem Mac gab es mit Ableton Live, Reason und Garage Band überhaupt keine Probleme.Angesteckt, keine Treiber installiert, alles wunderbar erkannt, kein Problem, erledigt.Nebenbei: Ich habe auch die anderen Nano Controller von Korg, und alle zusammen haben wunderbar an einem USB Hub funktioniert.Windows Desktop Rechner:Hier gab es Probleme. Unter Windows muss man leider sehr umständlich Treiber von Korg installieren, und da hat sich mein Windows 7 Rechner wohl etwas verschluckt, so dass ich die Treiber ein paar mal deinstallieren und wieder installieren musste, bis es irgendwann funktioniert hat.Windows Laptop:Interessanterweise gab es die Probleme des Desktop Rechners mit meinem Windows 7 Laptop nicht.Treiber müssen natürlich trotzdem installiert werden, aber es hat auf Anhieb geklappt.Ich habe aber den Eindruck, dass die Treiber öfter mal crashen und sich dann wieder neu starten.Für eine Live Performance würde ich kein Windows Setup benutzen.iPad:Alle Korg Nano Geräte funktionieren problemlos mit dem iPad an einem USB Hub mit dem Apple Camera Connection Kit. Genau wie beim Mac müsste nichts installiert werden (wie auch).Leider gibt es viele Apps, die kein MIDI Mapping zulassen, und manchmal passt die MIDI Map nicht für einige Programme. Speziell bei diesem Gerät. Weniger problematisch beim Korg Nano 25 Tasten Keyboard.Alles in Allem ein gutes Gerät für den Preis für Leute die viel Reisen und Musik machen wollen, oder die erstmal mit etwas preisgünstigem starten wollen.

This product is fantastic and the only option for highly portable keyboarding practice!Just connect the USB cord, and you are ready to play with a smartphone, tablet, or computer without the need for any further power source connection!I have been looking for a portable keyboard that I could use to practice anywhere: sitting on the couch, on airplane flights, waiting around somewhere, outdoors, etc.I wanted something that would fit in my computer bag, and would with my mobile phone so I couldn't need to wrestle with the extra room needed for my laptop.THE PROBLEM WITH MOST OTHER SMALL MIDI KEYBOARD CONTROLLERSThey have mushy plastic keys that are prone to snapping off over time (do a web search to see repair problems. * I didn't want the frustration and cost of trying to fix or replace every few months.* They also require powered USB connections; which, for some laptops and tablets, and any smartphones, requires an additional USB powered hub connected to an electrical outlet or battery pack. I didn't want to have a snarl of wires and a third box to balance on my lap.AWESOME REVOLUTIONARY KEYBOARD LAYOUTIf you aren't already fluent in playing scales and cords with correct fingering, this is a fantastic training aide.At first I found the layout difficult to play in certain scales and chords, but then it slowly dawned on me that it was due to my incorrect fingering (e.g. trying to use my thumb to play black keys). When I tried using correct scale fingering, then problem solved![If you don't know the correct hand fingering to use for each scale, do a web search 'piano scale fingering'.]Practicing with the nanoKEY, it will force me to break my bad lazy habits for melody lines, runs, riffs, and chord inversions.THE KEYS ARE QUIETI had seen some review comments that they keys were noisy and therefore would be distracting to others in quiet settings.I decided to take the risk of ordering it anyways, and I am very glad that I did because I found that this is not the case.People sitting next to me in normal ambient environments will not hear anything from the nonKEY2. It is same noise level as my touch typing on a MacBook Air laptop computer- or quieter; it all depends on how aggressively or smoothly someone hits the keys.If you like to bang away your keys, then yes, you will annoy others in very quite places. But really, do everyone around you a favor and just STOP IT ALREADY! Learn to play (and type) with finesse and skill instead.TIPS FOR SUCCESS* Understand that any midi devices may need some system setting adjustments on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. If you've never used a midi keyboard before with your device, it might not just plug-in and work right away until you enable midi via USB.* Understand that the music software you want to use needs to be configured to use a midi connected keyboard. So you will need to check user the help and settings.* If your music software device doesn't have a full-sized USB port, you will need to an adapter.* When playing along with other software (e.g. Spotify, Worship Team, etc.), you may need to turn your midi music software instrument (ORG 2020, etc.) volumes to maximum.WHAT'S MISSING?* Foot pedal input for sustainThis would be important for actual two handed playing performances or recording, but not necessary for highly portable practice or composing.To use a foot pedal would required another item to be transported and stable floor space to use it.Instead, get and use a separate tabletop midi keyboard that has full size, velocity sensitive, weighted keys.* Korg software bundles for AndroidNo specific software isn't needed to use the nanoKey, but many new-player potential customers may not realize that. In the box is a license code that can be used for limited version of software for iPad/iPad, Windows, and Mac, but nothing for Android.Korg is really missing a large market opportunity by not addressing and promoting to Android users.MY SETUPS WITH nanoKEY2* Smartphone: Motorola X4 running Android v9 + Android music apps (free versions of ORG 2020, Caustic, Perfect Piano, SymprezFM) + USB C adapter* Laptop: MacBook Air + Garage Band

This is a great little keyboard. I hoped that it would be set up in Windows 7 without drivers needing installing (as a USB composite device) but the Korg software needed installing before my DAW (Reaper) would recognise it.After that it was just a case of letting the DAW know what it was and I was entering MIDI note data into the program literally in minutes. It's obviously nowhere near as lush as a proper controller keyboard, and there's no niceties like aftertouch available, although there is rudimentary velocity sensing, and the small keybed needs careful playing if you're after any kind of subtlety or nuance - but it does try.For me, its a way of entering melodies into the DAW as a kind of MIDI notepad, and it does a grand job of that. It's small enough to slot into your laptop case, probably along with the other Korg nano controllers.So long as you're not expecting to emulate Chopin using this keyboard you'll not be dissappointed. It will be pretty good for entering basic synth elements into club music and electronica - it just won't offer you the expressive capabilities that aftertouch can provide. If you're good with that limitation and need a go-anywhere keybord this is certainly worth a look.Korg also offer a download code for various software components to get you going, together with introductory versions of DAWs like Ableton Live Lite. This bundle isn't quite as good as the one I received with a NanoPad a year or two ago. If you buy this you might want to check what the bundle presently is. It's possible that Korg changes it from time to time, or perhaps there's a different bundle depending on whether you buy the NanoKey, NanoPad or NanoController.I already have a Samson Graphite full-function controller keyboard, and also use a Yamaha digital grand piano (88-key) for playing, but realised I have a need for something that is as portable as possible for a mobile setup. This is that keyboard - basic, useable, sometimes even fun!
