    like korgs sentiments but this looks awful.

    I tend to agree. But if it all automagically maps to Gadget(s) as you jump around in the app, it could be a pretty great user experience.

  • I'm more curious about Gadget for iPhone, and if it will include a major update, especially audio tracks in some way shape or form. The iPhone could use more DAW options.

  • Gadget is the one app is never give up. Seeing that KORG is highlighting Gadget in the promos for the nanoKEY Studio, I'm hoping that it will integrate seamlessly. How the KAOSS pad integrates will hopefully be good as well (drawing automations, perhaps?).

    My current MIDI keyboard is an M-Audio Oxygen 25, which is a big, clunky beast. I'd love to throw this nanoKEY Studio into my backpack and make some tunes at the park.

    for iPhone:
    KORG Gadget Le (music production studio DAW app)
    *Download will start from in March, 2016

  • This actually looks great. Love that the drum pads have a chord mode. I will be getting one of these I think. Very nice intergration with gadget and wireless too

  • i overlocked the wireless thing at first.That IS neat,also the chord buttons and the scale stuff etc.Damn Korg,stay away from my wallet :)

  • I'm already thinking about ways I can use this with my guitar. I'm thinking I could assign four presets to the drum pads for easy switching, and assign the wah pedal to the KAOSSILATOR pad, and use that to rock the pedal up and down. Granted, this would probably require me to play barefoot and clumsily, but it might work.

  • mmmmh....just thinking about:gadget on iphone with Nanokey Studio and Ableton Link:killer groovebox :)

  • Most intriguing !

    I hope Korg improves the build quality versus the nanoseries (II) in general, though. I had them all and I found only the nanoKontrol to be a solid piece of kit.

    You could desolder one of the pots and replace it with a stereo jack for an outboard expression pedal.

  • Arturia released a nice looking small keyboard controller with aftertouch for the very decent price of $149. Arturia's hardware is nicely constructed, they're sturdy so I'm guessing this keyboard is sturdy as well.

  • Another cool keyboard controller, this one from M-Audio, this one has Mackie/HUI control which is great for working with Auria.

  • I saw that the new Nanos are gonna sell for less than expected (around 30,-€ cheaper than the Korg price) and i definitely go for the Nanokey studio now.I think they will get a great implementation in Gagdet and i love all those keyscaling and easy chord options.Along with knobs,pads,XY pad and wireless...seems the perfect controller for my needs.

  • Boy, at the same price, I'd pick the Arturia over the Nanokeys Studio because of thw nice keys and aftertouch.

    The Nanocontrol Studio is exactly what I want to control the mixer functions on my MPC. I'm happy they put a USB port and aren't trying to force Bluetooth MIDI as the only protocol, as well. Bluetooth MIDI is still way too unstable, imo.

    Korg really just showed that they're desperate for my money at NAMM this year. Between this, the Minilogue and the Volca FM, I've never wanted so much Korg stuff in my life.

    "Boy"i don't care what you buy and nothing in my post was directed to you.But well,this is the Nanokey Studio thread and that's why i wrote about that one,you know? ;)

    Each person has different needs obviously and since i suck at playing keyboard all the Nanokey helper (the scalings and Chord pads to name a few) are very welcome to me.And because of that it's not necessary to have the greatest possible keyboard with hammer action.But i admit the keyboard is the weakest part of the Nanokey studio.

    Can you elaborate?

    I don't trust connection stability on any iteration of bluetooth (just thinking about having to use the bluetooth connection to control my Eventide H9 makes me frustrated). Then there is the inherent latency issues with bluetooth, which have improved some, but no way I feel confident to use realtime MIDI performance even with the latency improvements I've seen.

    since the Nanokey operates with BT4.0 i'm confident it will work well with Gadget.At least with"normal operation"but i wouldn't use BT to sync anything (therefore the arp is less interesting to me).I'm sure Korg tested it carefully if they even bundle it with Gadget.if it's not working well with BT...i'll just return it.Not a biggie.

  • Huh, I haven't experienced any issues with BT4.0. Probably because I don't play with any speed or density?

  • I play with density every time I touch a keyboard.

    Oh, you meant a lot of notes at once? Got it.

    The scale and chord modes look cool however I am sceptical until I see some hands on reviews as the nanopad2 has scale and chord functionality BUT you have to set the chords specifically in the PC editor and are not able to change them without using the PC editor. Not a problem if you are always going to work in the same scale tho.

    It seems they improved it.Korg website says :"the Chord Scale function automatically assigns the best chords for the key and scale you’ve selected, so your song will take shape at amazing speed. "

    Niiiice...

    I'll probably wait for these to come down in price or resist entirely, though... I have bunch of controllers at home I very rarely use.

    It does sound better, I hadn't paid attention to that bit of the site. :) Like @Matt_Fletcher_2000 I also have a bunch of controllers that I am not using to their fullest, but I think this one does have the portability advantage, keys, pads and rotary's all on one very compact unit, perfect for those moments when i would be sat in the car, or using for 5 mins while adverts are on the TV or on my desk at work during my lunch
    I am trying to justify to myself that I need one of these aren't I :D

    yep,me too.Currently sitting on a Nanokey2,an Oxygen8 (but the vintage super rare NI edition :) ) and an MPK Mini that i bought one week before the Korg announcement,lol.
    I'm gonna sell all of them and the price for the new Nano will be much more reasonable to me.

    Keep going, you are convincing me :)

  • If only they had put a slot in it to allow this

  • I think I will get one of these. Standalone gadget workstation. I really like the immediacy of gadget and with the kaoss pad and chord set pads this will make gadget even more immediate to jam on. Now because of Link, the iPad can be locked in perfect sync with ableton on my laptop, and Modstep on my old iPad controlling my hardware. The less time I am setting up and fiddling with midi mapping the better. With this I can sit down after work and just make a beat, if I want to expand on the idea, open Modstep and run my sp404 and volcas in perfect sync. When it comes time to record, open ableton and again locked in perfect sync. My sound card has 16 inputs to record all audio at once. I can also export the set from gadget to ableton for finer control over the tracks. I can just scale up the complexity as needed or wanted. Ableton hit a home run with Link. My favourite development in music hardware/software in years.

    Once I have a track laid out, substitute midi gadget tracks with Reason RE or VST then mangle the whole thing with FXpabsions Geist (2.0 coming soon) and twisted tools S-layer and ultraloop.

    It's all coming together :dizzy:
