Korg nanoKONTROL 2 white

The Knobs fell off easily

I have been using the USB-MIDI Kontroller for a while now. The overall build is good; however, since I move around a lot with it, the knob controls and the clips/handle on the faders keep falling off, and I have lost almost half of them. Korg should look at this so that it is sturdier.

Compact, sleek, clever

Great little product.

I mainly use this to program in expression data for software instruments when composing and its fader throw is definitely enough for creating convincing orchestral string swells etc.

Don't get fooled by its size

The only objection I have is: it is NANO :-)

I do not imagine working with my laptop (and just laptop monitor) when working "on the filed" (read: not in my studio environment) without it anymore. As with every tool it takes some time to realise its potential, but when you get used to it, you regret each and every moment if you don't bring it with you.

KORG balanced perfectly between portability and usefulness, though integration to some of the DAWs (by experinece of some other musicians) can be a bit of a pain - but not because of the controller, but because of the DAW. Integration to Cubase Pro was easy and once it is set, it works like a clock.

Maybe it's me!

This thing (for me) has been such a pain to set up with Logic Pro X (and maybe that's Logic's fault) it's currently sitting in a draw. Shame as would be useful to control expression and such like for orchestral work, but having tried the Korg editor, and Logic preferences, it just wasn't behaving properly (but having said that, maybe that's me at fault). But if something is more of a pain to use than a help, it kind of gets bypassed. Am thinking of giving it a second life linked to my KeyStep Pro to see if there is a way of using it to control certain midi parameters on my Modular Rack that respond to midi (like the BitBox Micro). We shall see - when I have a spare hour to waste on it.

But for me, out of the box, with Logic Pro, couldn't get it to work properly, including following a couple of YouTube videos!

Korg nanoKONTROL 2 is goot

Korg nanoKONTROL 2 is not to bad for controlling a few tracks as navigation over the daw is smooth only wished if it had arrows for up and down for faster movement overall cant complain with the price tag

an essential gear

A very good, cheap, and really functional controller

dare you dare you double dare you!

I m waiting for the customer which does serious critics on a handy little portable daw controlling device (no daw controller) for about 50 peanuts..

.. and I m glad not to be the one who dares!

Good, but difficult to keep in one place

If setting this up in your gig rig you'll need to secure it somehow to the platform, as the product is light and quite easy to knock off the table. If the cable gets pulled this will too!

Easy to use and easy to map to Ableton sets, but be sure to keep track of what you're doing, maybe with notes or stickers! Faders are a little small but have a natural feel...

its good if want faders and transport in your hands, its very sensible and thats its great.

Compact and versitile

Love this controller, very handy and compact. Works with most DAWs straight away, use it all the time with abelton to control the channels, and it has infinite channels, when you add them in Abelton. Also use it for VJing for the faders and tempos
