KORG NANOKONTROL STUDIO CONTROLLER

KORG nanoKONTROL Studio MIDI wireless and USB controller with 8 faders, 8 rotary potentiometers, transport keys and wheels

nanoKONTROL Studio represents the evolution of one of the best-selling controllers in the world in the history of computer music, the Korg nanoKONTROL, widely used in music production and live performances, thanks to the rich set of controls, which in this new version can count on new functions, key backlighting with white LEDs and USB and wireless connectivity.
Korg nanoKONTROL Studio collects in only 278x160mm everything you need as a physical extension for managing your musical applications, DAW software and virtual instruments: 8 faders, 8 rotating potentiometers, transport keys (play, record, stop and go to the beginning), a small wheel, 32 buttons (organized in groups of 4 on each channel) and the keys for activating the loop, setting and navigating between markers. 5 are the scenes programmable using the Korg KONTROL Editor software and can be stored within the Korg KONTROL Editor software product to be recalled quickly during performances.
In addition, for the control of DAW software, we find the Mackie Control Surface configuration functionality and a plug-in dedicated to the management of Apple Garage Band and Logic Pro X software. NanoKontrol Studio is compatible with macOS, Windows operating systems and iOS devices. The connection to a computer, iPad, or iPhone can be done using the traditional USB cable supplied, or wirelessly as it is compatible with the specifications of the Apple Bluetooth Low Energy MIDI communication protocol
