KorgnanoKONTROL2 Slim-Line USB Control Surface, Black

⸻I originally bought another brand to use with my software, but no matter what I did, it just wouldn’t work. I decided to get the Korg nanoKONTROL2, and as soon as I plugged it in, my laptop recognized it instantly—no hassle, no extra setup needed!The faders and knobs feel smooth like butter, making it a joy to use. My only suggestion is that Korg should number the faders for easier reference, but other than that, this is an amazing device. Highly recommended—5 stars!

The Korg nanoKONTROL2 Slim-Line USB Control Surface in black is a fantastic addition to my sound mixing setup. I use it with the Sound Devices Mix Pre II 6 channel sound recorder, and the unit works flawlessly. Its compact and lightweight design makes it incredibly portable, while the responsive sliders, knobs, and buttons provide precise control over my recordings. Setup was straightforward, and it seamlessly integrates with my equipment, significantly enhancing my workflow. Fast shipping and a good price were added bonuses, making the Korg nanoKONTROL2 an excellent investment for any sound mixer who uses Sound Devices Mix Pre II recorders.

Bought this to perform live with FL Studio 11 and it worked great! What's cool about the nanoKONTROL (1 or 2) with the latest version of FL is that FL gives you a file that you can just drag and drop into the included KORG software that pre-maps all the transport controls and makes all the other buttons, knobs and faders assignable to ANY button, knob, or fader in FL. I've been using this in live performances to crossfade between tracks with the faders, turn effects on/off or launch samples with the buttons, and use the knobs to control Lo/Hi-pass filters...etc, but like I said: These controls are mappable to ANYTHING! No MIDI programming required! Just right click and tweak. You can even go in further and change the way the software responds to knob tweaks. eg: instead of a smooth rotation, make the parameter increase by increments of 10%. Useful for changing things like LFO speed....Another great feature of the device itself is its size. This thing can go anywhere! I don't have a lot of desk space but this fit great right in front of my desktop keyboard. It also has small rubber grips on the bottom so that it doesn't slide around when your practicing. I would have liked the extra knob/ fader combo from the nanoKONTROL1, but this one has more buttons and the transport controls seem to be in a more convenient layout than its predecessor. The actual size of the controls is nice too: small enough to have a lot of them, but still chunky enough to make it easy to tweak parameters without looking down.The only con that I have is that there are no markers around the knobs. But all in all: Great product for a great price!!! Thanks KORG!

Absolutely stunning device, Light-weight and compact but IT DOESNT FEEL CHEAP! Right out of the box i just WORKS, and for usb midi thats actually really good, any keyboard I have bought in the past 2 years I always had to trouble shoot for hours to make it work but nope, Not gonna have that problem AT ALL.My one and ONLY complaint is that the keys wiggle from sides to side a bit (but it kinda helps as you can hit the key from an angle and it will register every time) mind you, It doesn't detract from the experience but it just looks like a point of failure waiting to happen but we shall see! It is just quite simply a midi keyboard and I love it for it, Never have I had a midi that can actually fit your pocket (Albeit sticking out a lil) making this thing a MUST HAVE if you are a musician on the go, Regardless of where you are at and platform (Other reviews indicate successful use on android via otg, and IOS is supported right outta the box) it will JUST WORK. Fantastic stuff, leave it to korg to shake up the market with some ACTUAL competition. Lots of love your software and it look like you put the same care into your hardware as well, Thank you korg for such a fantastic budget option!

I wanted something cheaper than the $300 Traktor X1 just to enable and dial in effects because I can't stand the ones built into the Traktor S3 console and this works great with the midi layout provided from djtechtools. Feels sturdier than the price which is great. Love it
