Gear 4 Music Product Information
Accurate responsive and great-feeling keybed The nano KEY2 features an advanced and up-to-date design. By combining the great-feeling "touch" that Korg has developed for its professional MIDI keyboards and the low-profile "thinness" of recent computer keyboard innovations the nano KEY2 provides a superior keyboard response for its class and size. Its designed with ample key width and plenty of space between the keys reducing the chances of a wrong note. The touch and velocity response have been carefully tuned as only a manufacturer with Korgs track record and know-how can ensuring that your expressive performance will be conveyed accurately to your software.Control buttons provide simple yet versatile control The Octave Shift buttons - borrowed from Korgs MIDI controllers - allow the overall pitch to be shifted four levels either UP or DOWN in octave increments. When used in conjunction with the Key Transpose feature the nano KEY2 can access the entire range of the notes in the MIDI spectrum. For enhanced performances the nano KEY2 also provides Pitch Bend buttons a Modulation button and a Sustain button; one thats indispensible for piano or electric piano performance. For each of these buttons the on/off switching speed can be specified over four levels (using Korg Kontrol Editor) ensuring smooth changes that are appropriate for your performance.Korg Kontrol Editor software The nano KEY2 works with the "Korg Kontrol Editor" software - available free on the Korg website.
