Korg builds on their Nano series with the addition of the nanoKONTROL 2. In a body proportioned to fit perfectly in front of your laptop computer, the nanoKONTROL2 provides eight channels of the controllers you need to best utilise your music software. The Korg nanoKONTROL2 also features a dedicated transport control section. All buttons have been carefully selected and placed to be compatible with your software, ensuring simple and intuitive control. Many software titles – including major DAW programs – are supported, dramatically reducing the need to make complicated connection settings.
This model boasts eight channels, each with a knob, fader, and three switches. The controls are respectively assigned to pan, volume, and solo/mute/record, and this layout is particularly useful when recording automation for multiple channels. The nanoKONTROL2 also comes equipped with a marker button, which allows users to designate important points for more efficient recording and production. Additionally, parameters can be reassigned to desired controls for easy manipulation with a software synthesizer. For instance, faders can control the ADSR of an envelope generator, and knobs can adjust the filter’s cutoff frequency and resonance, among other things.
The Korg nanoKONTROL2 requires only a single USB port for both power and USB-MIDI data. This provides clean and simple set up without the clutter. Further the nanoKONTROL2 can be directly connected to your Apple iPad with no need for an external power supply. (Using a USB able to connect to Apple Camera Connection Kit)
