  • So I won one of these cheap on eBay they are kind of fun aren’t they.

    I have a question through, Is there a way to change the chords from 7ths to triads or something else?

    Set the scale mode to one of the higher values, for example pentatonic and I think there might be a fifth and fourth mode. Depending on the scale you'll get different sounding chords but you'll always have four notes and no inversions either unfortunately.

    Using shift and the octave buttons will change the key. Moving the keys while in smart scale or scale guide will give you access to many interesting chord possibilities using the "keyboard."

    There is no issue to use Nks scenes with Gadget. Do the following:

    Launch gadget
    Go to settings/other settings
    Unchecked « Nanokey studio native mode »
    Go back to gadget and close in app settings pop up to allow them to be refreshed
    Close by double tap home button and swipe gadget
    Restart gadget and bind with nks

    Scenes will work. Without close/opens again changing settings will do nothing. Do the inverse to use native mode again.

    This is useful when you program scenes/ banks to have different pads/notes settings to play all Gladstone/Abu Dhabi/Bilbao pads.

    Hope this helps.

  • I'd say it's worth it but if you take it gigging be really careful as the build quality is very cheap plastic. Just transporting in my backpack for 4-5 different gigs I've lost two keys and a knob. For the price Korg could've done more with the build when you consider the Beatstep is quite a bit cheaper and is built like a tank.

  • Also the Chord mode and Arpeggiator is a big plus. another minus is the Pitch and MW being on the Kaoss pad. Hate those things... Personal pref though.

    Tablet cases work well for safer transport. Finding the right size is the trick. I have one made for a 11.6 inch notebook. It's really too big, but smaller sizes weren't enough. It's got an outside pocket for charger, cable, batteries, music, etc. Google recently sent me a free Chromebook just for a 20 minute business telephone discussion (!) and the sleeve for it fits perfectly, but no pocket. So there are probably sleeves out there that would work better.

  • @wim Yeah I get that but the point is the overall cheapness of the build. $50 Casio keyboards are built better than the Nanokey Studio. The features are great and the connectivity to the iPad is really strong but yea..buyer beware. Also the keys are very clicky, loud plasticky sound.

    Yep. I wouldn't gig with it. It's great for at home at the dinner table or on the couch. I don't notice the clicky keys 'cause my headphones, but true dat.

    What I really don't like is the kaoss pad, which I thought I would love, but don't ever use because it sucks so bad. And that you can't even change midi channels without presetting scenes by hooking up to a PC. I keep the thing, and even really enjoy it, but no way I would shell out for another one.

    Totally agree and given there is very little on offer in terms of wireless midi controllers I will keep mine and use it on the go. And yeah that Kaoss pad is completely cheap and dumb.
