Show full description »

The Korg nanoKONTROL is so small you can put it on your workstation, in front of your laptop, on a recording console or anywhere else you need versatile control over your DAW, virtual instrument/effect or DJ software.

Despite its small size, the Korg nano KONTROL goes HUGE when it comes to functionality, yet their intuitive layouts provide extremely easy operation for any user. The nanoKONTROL offers nine faders, nine knobs and 18 switches plus a full transport section for expansive control; plus it features a note input mode to help you lay down your next big groove!

For each of the four programmable scenes the nanoKONTROL offers, you can set the controllers any way you need them. That means that you can transmit a total of 168 different MIDI CC (Control Change) messages, as well as MIDI notes with the switches. The six transport buttons can each transmit either MIDI CC messages or MMC messages to control functions such as: start, stop, loop, or record on your DAW software.

Imagine taking full control of your software – transport, a full track’s worth of faders, pans and mutes - or how about precise dedicated control over the many parameters of software synths, samplers or virtual drum machines. It’s all possible with the nanoKONTROL.

To add to the nanoKONTROL’s flexibility, an attack and decay time can be specified for the eighteen switches. This allows you to smoothly feed controller messages into parameters such as wet/dry levels for an effect, a filter for a synth, or a volume fader for that perfect fade.

By using the "KORG KONTROL Editor" (downloadable free of charge from the Korg website) you can customize the nanoKONTROL to your fit your control needs. It offers full access to the entire control surface for each of the four available scenes.

The nanoKONTROL includes a discount coupon for Ableton Live LE software. What’s more; a free downloadable Editor/Librarian will help you create setups to suit your specific control needs in all three models.

Korg Nano Kontrol Reviews

2/10

Nice ide,shame about the...

— John C March 20, 2011

As a home producer I bought this as a much-needed space saver. Inintially, it seemed very good. Then the problems started. First, the button LEDS on the controller started coming on in various combinations.Sometimes all the LEDS were on a the same time,when it was not even in use,which should not have happened. After 2 weeks,it started randomly connecting and disconnecting to the PC. Not good when you have to close and reopen the DAW everytime to reconnect it. It become so bad it was unuseable. I contacted Korg who recommened that I should not use a USB hub (though it is a powered hub fit for this purpose). Still,it seemed to work ok again plugged in the rear of PC,but there is no off swtich on the controller, so it is either on ad finitum or pulled out by the wire. Not ideal. Today the controller fell off my desk onto a carpeted floor, about 2 feet.Really what you would expect to happen occassionally given its size and purpose.The internal USB connector has sheared off inside the controller.Kaputt.No screws in the case.Attempting to lever the top out of the case seems sure to break large lumps off.It is not designed for repairs.Had this only cost £15 I would still have felt cheated. Be warned !

Korg Nano Kontrol

— Mark Kershaw April 22, 2009

I\'ve had the Kontrol for a few months now and am finding it more and more enjoyable to use as I learn more about it. I use Pro Tools 8 and for a while I thought it would only be useful with the midi learn capabilities. However, now, having managed to find a template to fit, I can now control all aspects of Pro Tools (transport, virtual mixer, plug ins, etc) from the nano kontrol as a \'midi controller\' in Pro Tools, and this has opened up the possibilities no end. The \'scenes\' allow for controls to be mapped in a variety of different ways and the knobs and faders are a reasonable build (for the price!) The knobs are limited in that the have a set range, rather than being on an endless cycle (like most controllers around at the moment). Having said that, this is only a minor set back. Is also really useful with Ableton when DJing as you can make the various buttons to stop/start play back, activate plug ins, automate effects, etc.

At £50, you can\'t really as for me.

Spot on.
