The Korg Nano Series is, quite simply, among the most useful sets of tools ever produced for the COMPUTER… Let me say that word again: “COMPUTER.”

I write, arrange and orchestrate music for a living. The nanoKey, in particular, is a lifesaver! It’s portable, so I can stuff it into my laptop bag when I’m on the road. It works seamlessly with Finale, Encore and – my personal favorite – Sibelius (the “Big 3″ of notation programs). It isn’t as convenient for real-time sequencing, unless you’ve developed “the touch.” It took me a while to get used to that, but I do play scratch tracks in Logic and Sonar, on occasion.

Anyone considering the purchase of this device should realize up front that it isn’t really designed for stage performance, etc. It’s best suited for computer entry. In fact, it’s PERFECTLY suited for computer entry.

…and for fifty bucks it’s WAY ahead of anything else!

This little device is great for my small desktop homestudio. The Nano Key doesn’t take away space, i can just put it in front of my typing keyboard or on my lap and start playing and recording. When i’m done with making music, i just put it beside my monitor. Since i am not a serious piano/keyboard player, i don’t need the full range of keys, however there are 2 buttons; ocatve up/down with which you can go an octave higher or lower. I mainly use it to play some chord changes, easy melody lines and to trigger drum sounds for midi recording.

The keys feel like laptop keys but with velocity function built in! I like laptop keyboards, so no problem for me.

There is a button called CC mode. If you press that, you can send midi commands to your DAW using any or all of the keys, (very cool!)you can assign any function via an editor which is downloadable. However, the CC button is located too close to the keys, so it is very easy to hit it by accident (not so cool).

If you have a small laptop with music software on it, you can bring it along with nano key and make music on the go! How about a coffee break jam session at Starbucks or at the airport?

The Korg Nanos get their power from one usb port each, i also own the NanoKontrol (which is also amazing btw.) and therefore use a usb hub. I just wished they had 2 usb connectors so i can daisy chain them and save a usb port.

But for the price, the Nano Key is unbeatable right now and if it breaks for some reason, i’d buy one again.

Like probably most computer composers, I’ve lived with the tradeoffs of trying to have a computer keyboard and a midi keyboard handy when basically they are designed to be in the exact same position relative to my hands. While I won’t be writing masterpieces with this little guy, the size puts it right where I want it for putting in a few notes or chords while keeping my desktop organized for regular non-musical work. Just having it there is like finally getting to scratch an itch I’ve had for years. The build quality is very good–for what it is…a tiny handy two octave musical data entry tool. Also, it looks very cool.

Great little keyboard. Excellent for traveling! However, when I received it, one of the keys didn’t work, so I had to get a replacement. The keys do feel a bit on the cheaper side of things, a little bit wobbly, plastic, springy-feel. But it works fine. The velocity is fine too. Works much better than using your keyboard pad if you’re a Logic user (which doesn’t have velocity sensitivity).

This keyboard is okay, and for the price that okay turns out to be a pretty good. This keyboard is decent for the price, but the poor construction limits the musician to only playing simple melodies. I’ve seen people give this thing a pounding though, and this keyboard can handle it too. If you are a pro or almost pro, and you are trying to build a small studio, I would recommend a keyboard with keys that actually feel like keys, since these feel like laptop keys, making the velocity input a little difficult. But all in all, this is a decent player, with no compatibility issues (at least not for me, works with Reason, FL Studio, Samplitude, etc.) and I would recommend it for those who have limited budgets or need a lot of space or just make music as a hobby. If you want something good, spend $200-$300 on an m-audio axiom.

Pros: Small, Compatibility, price, about 1/4 of an inch thick, lighter than a small binder

Cons: Maybe too small, keys are too close together so hands start to cramp, hard to play chords, velocity is tricky, laptop keys were a bad idea, keys are hard to play because you have to play at the bottom of the key which is a big obstacle when playing chords
