While sacrificing some of the extreme portability of the previous Nano devices, the Studio models gain an unprecedented amount of functionality for controllers that fit in a laptop bag. The NanoKey Studio takes the two-octave keyboard layout from the NanoKeys 2 and adds eight knobs, eight trigger pads and an X-Y touch controller.

With a simple, refined, and stylish design, along with beautiful lighting with white LEDs, you won't get tired of using it every day. This compact, stylish, and resilient tool simplifies the process of capturing your musical creations while on the move, eliminating the need for extensive equipment and tangled cables. I think the practicality of the unit outweighs it's few shortcomings, I use it quite often and I never regretted purchasing it.

The biggest let down in this amazing package is that Korg has not made an iOS app to help edit all of the midi control options.

In spite of its compact size, its controllers provide generous power and a solid feel, making it a convenient and versatile MIDI controller. Even if you’re not the most skilled keyboardist, the 25 velocity-sensitive keys allows you to step-record easily. It’s easy to connect to an iPad/iPhone music app such as KORG Gadget or Apple GarageBand, or to someoner Mac/Windows music production software.

This keyboard is perfect for producers and live performers that need a high-functioning performance keyboard that is both highly-portable and full of professional controls. The Scale Guide function illuminates the keys to show recommended notes in the scale, making it easier to play.From the looks of things, Korg's NanoKey Studio device is the only thing out there that fits all these descriptions. You can enjoy performing or producing music via an easy wireless connection not only from your iPhone/iPad or Mac, but also from your Windows PC. Tempo tap function allows you set the tempo by pressing the button multiple times for optimal accuracy.

I couldn’t find a way to use the Kontrol with GarageBand, which is probably the most widely used iOS music package. The other main physical differences are the jog wheel and a Scene button, which toggles the whole surface through five separate controller assignment pages when used in stand-alone MIDI mode. It's feature packed with 8 knobs, 8 pads, 25 keys, a multi-functional XY pad, arp, chords, scales, 8 scene memories, bluetooth(! And the nanoKontrol has been my primary controller for several years, thanks to its ability to fit comfortably into the tiniest DJ booth (and it is easily replaceable, in a pinch). I'm looking for an iOS MIDI controller that has keys and knobs and buttons and is small, portable, battery powered and wireless.They were working half the time until I popped the keys off and cleaned them with a q-tip and tiny bit of alcohol and let it dry.

Although there are less expensive portables, and more functional ones if you’re an Ableton user, nothing else matches the Nano Studios in terms of wireless convenience and features per square inch. It's a compact, mobile MIDI keyboard that is easy to travel with, allowing ease of use anytime, anywhere. Even if you’re not the most skilled player, the 25 velocity-sensitive keys allows you to step-record easily. Regarding the lack of DIN midi connection for live/stage use, I could maybe get a small audio interface that converts the usbmidi to DIN. The sounds and functionality of 'iPad / iPhone apps' can be expanded by connecting them to a nano Studio series unit.Edit: After reading my own post I checked the Novation Launch key mini, which looks great and has more comprehensive keys plus transport, but no Bluetooth. They’re definitely stationary units, much bigger than nanokey but I guess that’s a completely different paradigm. It’s got pretty much everything I need from any controller and Bluetooth makes it perfect to use on planes and in other tight spaces.
