Category: korg nanokontrol2
The microKEY61 is a USB MIDI keyboard that provides a full five octaves while occupying the same horizontal space as a full-sized 49-key model, making it an ideal choice for use in the home studio while meeting the needs of performing musicians. Featuring a velocity-sensitive natural-touch mini-keyboard with an excellent playing feel, the microKEY61 also includes Octave Shift and Key Transpose features, allowing users to access the full MIDI note range. Additionally, the Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels enhance the expressiveness of performances.
One of the standout features of the microKEY61 is its seamless integration of hardware and software. The device comes bundled with the Korg Legacy Collection Special Bundle, which provides software versions of five of Korg's most coveted synthesizers: the MS-20 analog monophonic synthesizer, the Polysix polyphonic synthesizer, the Mono/Poly analog synthesizer, the M1, and the Wavestation digital synthesizer, as well as a suite of 19 of Korg's sought-after effects plugins.
Furthermore, the microKEY61 doubles as a USB hub, with two USB ports (Type A) allowing users to expand their custom control center by adding a Korg nanoPAD2, nanoKONTROL2, or any other USB device. The package also includes licenses for Applied Acoustics Systems' Strum Acoustic Session, Lounge Lizard Session, and Ultra Analog Session, as well as a license for Toontrack's software drum sound module EzDrummer Lite, and a discount coupon for Ableton's Live, Live Suite, and Live LE DAW software, which is widely popular for its sophisticated functionality.
One of the key advantages of the microKEY61 is its plug-and-play capabilities. Users can simply connect the device to their computer without the need to install a driver, and it's ready for immediate use. This seamless integration ensures a hassle-free setup process, allowing users to focus on their creative endeavors.
In conclusion, the microKEY61 is a versatile and feature-rich USB MIDI keyboard that caters to both home studio enthusiasts and performing musicians. Its compact design, full five-octave range, and seamless hardware-software integration make it a compelling choice for those seeking a powerful and flexible controller to enhance their music production or live performances.
