    Sympatique

    Few days.
    what I like is its ergonomics and compact unit.
    it has the width of my mac book pro and very discreet.

    The small fear that I had is that PRO LOGIC do not recognize, so you have DL a plugin on the korg site.

    Quibble, the volume range is very low, suddenly it's difficult to be precise in measurements.

    a big advantage is that it is self powered by USB.

    excellent value for money, it also korg, you know what you are buying. No apprehension whatsoever despite the made in china ...

    in light of the ease of use, I think I would do the choice

    I bought the Nano Kontrol yesterday.

    Very light.
    Faders are a bit soft, but switches are a bit tighter.
    The provided cable is long enough.
    The 6 rubber foots ensure a good stability.

    It has 4 interesting layer modes. The 4th mode is the best for me because in all others modes a switch can control the mute function (for example) but the function will be deactivated as soon as you release the switch. It can be useful for some applications but it's a problem if you need latching switches...

    But it seems that the KORG Kontrol Editor allows you to configure switch interaction more precisely. In Momentary mode, the transmitted value is "On" when you depress the switch and "Off" when you release it. In Toggle mode, when you depress once it's "On" if you depress it again then it's "Off".

    The only problem is that the KORG Kontrol Editor will be available in November so I will have to be patient hoping it will work fine with Linux via Wine.

    Speaking about Linux, the Nano Kontrol works perfectly with Ardour, Jack-Rack and every other Midi software that allows you to configure a hardware controller.

    I'm very satisfied with it in my home studio and I think it will be easier to mix my songs with Ardour, given its customization possibilities.

    Edit: Korg already released the KORG Kontrol Editor and I can tell you more about the product.
    This compact controller is good... The software makes it entirely customizable. I think it's good that the presets are stored directly in the Nano Kontrol. In other words, once you configured the controller to meet your needs, you can write the parameter names on the unit, unplug it and then plug it again without losing your settings.
    It's also possible to change the response of the switches (form MMC to note message). It gives you a wide range of possibilities.

    And it works wonders with Linux using Wine and Midi. I'm pretty satisfied after several hours of use.
