try the korg nano key studio.. pretty similar but lots more featurs. Same keyboard but has 8 knobs, X/Y pad with built in arpeggiator (multiple arp patterns) 8pads x2 banks, you can play chords on the pads, change scales, has scale guide and easy scale features, X/Y pad has multiple features too, keys light up etc... tons of functions. Worth a look if you want a bit more than just the keys. Oh and it's also bluetooth and works great with Ipad and even works with Akai MPC live.
Since the keys pop off and on so easily, I wonder if a thin layer of felt under them would make them quieter without overly impacting performance and function. I like this keyboard and am considering it for the exact same reasons as you, but that noise gives me pause. I’m also considering the Akai LPK25, but it is also loud and twice as thick, a little longer and a little wider. But it does have default type keys, though mini. Have you tried that one? Thanks for the review. I love your intro music, BTW.
do you know any videos/tutorials where it shows you how to use the korg software? I don't have access to all of it and you can't record things... how do I plug this is and use the Korg software on another daw?
Fuckin awesome, Keep it simple. You said whats really matter, caught the spirit. I would like you to review the. Korg nanoKEY Studio. Has a little more features.
@@goobiexyz it's just an online semi-decent midi controller that is made to work with keyboards but can detect midi controllers sorta. It's definitely not the best and what kinda sucks is that there isn't a way to record whatever song you make. I kinda wish I knew of possibly a better free service that works with the korg that has more control and exportable files since I kinda want to use it to make sounds and little jingles for youtube videos
Thanks for this review. What a useless product (as in it has no real purpose). It shouldn’t cost more than $10, it’s like a step up from a quwerty keyboard. There are generally 3 groups of controllers: pads, regular keys, or something like Seaboard, and the type you get depends on your preference of expression. For example, for me expressive melody playing is 90% of my playing. If I want drums, I can just hammer at the keys (or even on the iPad screen if I just need on/off type of triggering) So I got Akai LPK25 ( there was also a Korg of the same style/formfactor (sorry forgot the model, Korg felt cheap in terms of key responses). The Akai feels like a professional keyboard - there’s precision in response and “regular” resistance from the keys. Keys are smaller than standard but without sacrificing playability, that is, l can make chords easily and quickly (which on the ipad 10.5” is often not the case) I really like the idea of the Seaboard Block (solely based on watching videos) and that it has no wasted space - I can use the controls on the iPad for X/Y type of stuff and knobs or faders. It might be convenient for some people to have them, but I’d rather have a more compact unit with as large keys as possible. It’s very expensive for a controller though ~$300 and I haven’t tested it in person to know if it’s precise enough for playing “normally”. Also apparently (and understandably) it’s not compatible with all synth apps. But it’s definitely the next level in terms of expression.
You know maybe you are forgetting some types of people? Those who have had musical expression in their heads for YEARS but have never played a real instrument significantly. Devices like this (what I am looking into since I find the Piano "intimidating") help people like me who get confused by the clutter of a Keyboard. I like the design, small, fits on the desk where my MPC Touch is at and I feel it will help me get into making music a LOT quicker. I have never played an instrument or made a instrumental on a computer. Well I have but it was back in 05' on some stupid PC drum only program that's probably not even around anymore lmfao!
I use Logic Pro and the built-in QUERTY input does not span two full octaves, which makes it difficult to play certain chords or even melodies. This keyboard is perfect because you can play a lot in its two full octaves and it’s so portable!
Thank you! The noisy click-sound was very important for me to know and it wasn't mentioned in other reviews I already watched.
Thanks for the review. Very useful info,
This is an awesome and very helpful video. You deserve more subscribers, bro. Thank you for making this.
Thanks for the NanoKey2 review. :)
Thanks for this and the keyboard review
wow. The ideia of the chanel is only about input devices? That something inovative. Sub
Came here for the review and rather liked the vibe of the good ol days! Hope you are doing well man.
Nice review. Thanks
Thank you very much for pointing out the Keith McMillen K-Board. That's more what I was looking for :-)

Great page

great review, are any boards that are comparable in size, I also like to bring hardware with me on public locations
Good to know that (unlike with the original NanoKey) you can easily click the keys back on if they fall off.
Nice one!
What software can I use to play and also record what im playing?
Thanks for sinceri video
LMAO
the sound complaints were funny lol
Any idea how to get it to run with high sierra? thanks
how do you connect it tho? i dont know how to use it im new
Is the sustain button works well? Is it one time touch and do automatically or we should always hold the button to make sustain?
u gotta hold it
Can it be used with an Android phone? Thanks.
This video was uploaded 2 years ago, but this looks like it was made 10 years ago lol.
Ouch, the bend on that thing
What's the difference between typing on a keyboard and playing the nanokey?
Ease of play I guess is the only difference
Velocity?
do you know any videos/tutorials where it shows you how to use the korg software? I don't have access to all of it and you can't record things... how do I plug this is and use the Korg software on another daw?
is it not compatible with wndows????

Id rather be seen in public with the Akai its much more bad ass looking but either one would attract cool people.
akai lpk25
didnt show me how to download the software and get the keyboard working :-(
I don't actually remember, I'm sorry 😭
Can I use with android phone
Yes using a USB OTG cable the nanokey2 can be used with Android, provided you have an app that supports midi instruments
You can just use decent computer keyboard with FL studio and get same results lol.
for your next video, you should review soldering wires to a usb port and touching their ends together.
Turns out its compatible with Midi.city

The OP-1 def created a 4th type of Midi controller and thats what this korg seems to be trying to emulate.
