Korg Kontrol Editor software The nanoKONTROL2 works with the "KORG Kontrol Editor" software – available * on the KORG website. Load it into your computer, and use it to make detailed Customised settings. For example, the minimum and maximum values for each control change message can be specified. Korg nanoPAD 2 Sixteen velocity-sensitive pads provide excellent response, delivering drum parts that are full of life. Four switchable scenes deliver 64 different pad assignments. The X-Y pad can control multiple Synthesiser parameters. Use the new "Touch Scale" function to intuitively play phrases on the X-Y touchpad. Simply select one of sixteen different scales, specify the root key and note range to match your song. Korg nanoKEY2 The nanoKEY2 provides a superior keyboard response for its class and size. Ample key width and plenty of space between the keys reduces the chances of a wrong note. The touch and velocity response have been carefully calibrated, ensuring that your expressive performance will be conveyed accurately to your software.

It is battery operated and can connect wirelessly to iPhone/iPad or Mac/Windows. It's a compact, mobile MIDI keyboard that is easy to travel with, allowing ease of use anytime Review: Works great as a MIDI CC controller - For the price, this works great as a MIDI expression controller - e.g. to add a bit of life into VSTi performances. The bad news: the faders are a bit small - could be fiddly if you have big hands / fingers. But: other than that, its all good news. Because the unit is small and low-profile, its easy to place in a comfy location. I used the freely available Korg Kontrol Editor software to set which MIDI CC controllers are assigned to each fader and also set the buttons to switch between articulations. Great controller unit at a great price! Review: Korg nanokontrol 2 - I bought this to use in reason with the mixer, sequencer and rack. My initial excitement on receiving the package soon turned to disappointment as it refused to work because it wasnt recognised by Reason. After looking on the internet I discovered that the Korg driver (downloadable) could not see any midi device above 10. Once I had fixed this via the registry, the kontrol worked perfectly. I am really pleased with it now as it does everything I wanted except arming record in the sequencer. One note though, the korg control software can still not find the kontrol and I always get "unable to open midi port" when trying to read or write data to it. However, this does not prevent me using the control as I want so I don't use the software. The bundled software is of no use to me except the discount on Ableton. desertcart was up to expected with delivery.

Great for assigning the various knobs and sliders to parameters in VST's and VSTi's (Synthesizer and audio effect plugins alike). You can do this on the fly or you can set dedicated controls to work for the same thing each time you load up your starting template in the DAW you use. I use it a lot with Serum for example. 2. can be used as a mixer controller by default if you prefer - although I personally do not as the sliders aren't very big - this is referred to as "travel" and due to the small size, moves in slightly larger dB increments when compared to a larger control surface with greater slider travel. 2. Seamless integration with Ableton Live but if you use FL Studio there is a custom script you can load into it which is arguably even better than the standard Ableton Live integration. The script for FL Studio is called Nanometer and you can find this by searching it on youtube. I use both DAW's extensively. 3. Extremely portably - As you can tell by the picture I have provided, it sits comfortably on the lower portion of any laptop surface without intruding on the keyboard (mine is a 15 inch laptop for reference) and it leaves a little space to not get in the way of your left hand when you wish to reach for keyboard shortcuts that involve the use of shift, ctrl or alt. 4. The quality and feel of the knobs and sliders is absolutely satisfactory for the price point (it is twice as expensive on amazon now for some reason, I picked it up for circa Β£50 from here but it was a while ago). 5. The transport controls are extensive as it has not only the usual play/stop/record but also buttons to flick through your various time markers that you set throughout the length of your project. It has fast forward and rewind which is also very uncommon but great to have. Cycle typically works as a loop button. It has track buttons to flick between your mixer channels too. I can not express enough how great this all speeds up workflow and ergonomics of any setup. 6. Korg provide a software utility to edit the CC values associated with each button/slider/knob for a setup totally specific to your own nuances. CON's: 1. Small slider travel so not excellent as a mixer controller if you are OCD about very accurate dB setting due to the larger adjustment increments or lower resolution if you prefer that term. 2. Sliders are not motorized - this feature is another mixer focused feature that this control surface lacks which basically means that the sliders would move independantly without you touching them to match the mixer settings on-screen. Conclusion - I have owned a large number of different MIDI controllers since 2008 and no matter how sophisticated my home studio gets, this will always be a part of it. Also, the picture I attached is of my portable setup that fits entirely in a backpack (minus the tower fan on the left) so it is extremely portable. ## Frequently Bought Together - Korg, 1-Key Midi Controller (NANOKON2WH),White - Mchoi Hard Portable Case Compatible with Korg nanoKONTROL2 Slim-Line USB Control Surface(Case Only) - Korg nanoPAD2 Slim-Line USB MIDI Pads - White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/49523295-korg-nanokontrol2-slimline-usb-midi-controller-white](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/49523295-korg-nanokontrol2-slimline-usb-midi-controller-white) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
