Hands on with Korg's NanoKONTROL2 (TUAW)
Korg's popular, slim-line NanoSERIES USB-MIDI controllers have been updated to
2.0. We were lucky enough to get our hands on the NanoKONTROL2 control surface
and put it through its paces.
Like the the nanoKEY2 (a 25 key, velocity-sensing MIDI keyboard) and the
nanoPAD2 (with 16 responsive pads and an X-Y touchpad for drum input and sound
manipulation) the nanoKONTROL2 adopts the same remarkably compact form factor
with a micro USB connection.
The nanoKONTROL2 has 8 faders, each with a solo, mute, record-enable button
and a dial knob at the top. To the left of the controller is a transport
section (play, back, forward, record, stop) with a track selector, marker and
cycle button.
As with the other nanoSERIES controllers, the nanoKONTROL2 automatically maps
to your DAW (the one I tested worked first time with Logic Pro and Reason),
but you can download the Korg Kontrol Editor software to fully re-map the
controller to your specific needs.
Being that it is so light and compact, the nanoKONTROL2 feels fairly solid and
sturdy. When you push a button, you know it's been pressed. The buttons light
up when they're activated, too, which helps you make sense of what's
happening.
Many may ...
