All user reviews for the Korg nanoKONTROL2

I use it for a little over a year.

This is my first midi controller dedicated to the faders and knobs!

The pros:
Compact Hyper; strong enough (it has already taken toles he disregarded) ergonomic, practical and aesthetic; the number of controls in fine enough of the stuff once in hand; its price more than okay!

the -: my biggest drawback vis-à-vis this is his driver windows 8 relatively unstable (not over it seems) sometimes mixed with the non-recognition / conflictual relationship with FL Studio 11 but in Ableton software any mix, synth vst any, there was never any problem, I will chipotter and say they could add a channel 9 for the master or a micro-crossfader as I have seen from competitors but that. ..

At this ratio q / p in the range of NaNO2 Korg (the nanoPAD / kontrol the first gen are weaker bcp) is the gift and ultimately a consumable (if ever it breaks it's not hard to find 'occas for a pittance). it helps to have lots of small auxiliary controls, mixer travel, fill the evening with platinum buddies without carrying bcp stuff, in short it's super versatile all-purpose!
With the experience I remake this choice but I am now running on controllers with a lot more knobs and faders

I chose the nanoKONTROL because I wanted a small area, the cheapest possible, just to have history of mix parameters (among others) on hand.

I chose black because I had a € 10 coupon, and the difference between black and white is 10 €. I am pleased because the color does not bother me too much, but black is better and better and better.

Obviously, the faders are not motorized, but at this price ...

Well, after this rather useless intro, I begin the review:
- I was very surprised by the sensation (touchdown) while dragging the sliders: I think it's very very nice, it has a small reservoir is fluid, not dry. Delighted.
- The knobs are really cheaps, it contrasts with my launch control ...
- Zippers faders do not hang, it's hard plastic: no soft coating or anything.
- The plastic part forming the zipper can remove and recover, then there is just a rectangle, the end of which exceeds fader. Buttons, hook, soft plastic, normal ...
- The faders can not move much, but enough, you would expect in a nano interface.

I am happy with this product, no surprises, that's what I expected, it's not great, but this is what I wanted. We have a software to edit the midi assignments.

So a small interface with a lot of parameters, 8 faders and knobs, one for each track mute, solo and rec. Transport buttons, markers ... see photo and features. A very nice little interface, it's worth it for the price.

Nobody offers better in this price range. I put "very good", because is not the final product, with a whole lot of features. It's small, it's quick, it's convenient, it's cheap.

To see the long, I would publish the notice, if I can still.

The Korg nanoKONTROL 2 is a MIDI controller that connects to a computer USB port. It is very affordable and can be purchased in white as well. This controller is relatively small and does not take up much space at all. It cannot be racked; it will have to be used as a table top unit. I use this controller to control synths and effects racks in my DAW and it works great. At this price, I cannot believe more people are not purchasing it. It works great and has never giving me any issues. Sometimes I use it during shows to tweak synths and other sound in real time and it has never let me down. I think I will be using it for a long time.
Setting up the nanoKONTROL 2 is very quick and easy. It is just like setting up any other MIDI controller or USB controller. I have only used it on my PC running Windows 7 and with Ableton Live. But I am pretty sure it can be used in just about any DAW. I do wish there were some presets built into Ableton for it so I could have had some templates to go off of instead of having to program it all myself. It would have just made it a lot easier but it still wasn’t hard to do it. It was just time consuming getting it all how I wanted it. But after I did it once, I didn’t have to do it again because I can save the template.
I recommend this controller to any DJ or computer musician who wants to use some hardware to tweak things instead of using all software. It really helps me being a DJ having something that is small and doesn’t take up much space to teak sounds and effects with. It is also well built and doesn't seem cheap even though the price is low.

I use it for 5 months

I was very disappointed by the nanoKEY Korg (USB Welding fucked in 3 months use quite normal). Starting a call for 2 years with a minimum scrict stuff, I start on this Korg nanoKONTROL 2.
The most:
- Prettier than the Series 1
- The faders and knobs are precise etonamant (A value near)
- Really cheap for what it can do
- In the air (I say "looks") More than 1 series caustaud
- Easy installation on most DAW (And congratulations to the editor of Korg) but ...


Cons:
- Natively not compatible with FL Studio. That is to say that the buttons and cursors will track does nothing because it will not be recognized by Fl Studio. Image Line fault or Korg? I do not know but I find it rather shameful that this kind of device to be recognized in most DAW except FL Studio ... So I use the transport keys and I manually assigned my knob and fader.
- Not designed for live (to public), for trying it's really not that necessary, to toy but it's cool with tiny knob is complicated.
- Faders and knob that this is a trend but a helping Bare glue and it's over.

Noted that the Series 2 works completely differament the 1 series.
FL on the one I'd recommend because it has 4 scene parameterizable
Go for it on other Korg you kindly made your presets.

In conclusion Quality / Price unbeatable although played with Korg quality materials / construction.

I remake it without hesitating choice because its been 5 months I use it a lot more than my first and everything works nanoKEY nickel.
He has all these small issues but surmountable.
€ 49 for one throw or have a small controller is given.
Provided you take care

Edit: Image Line should make comptatible natively nanoKONTROL The two before its next Upd, the 10.5

I just unpack the product, want to test it because I had the opportunity to have cheap
I work on Logic 9, grip: 2 seconds, you download the small dmg for GarageBand and Logic on the Korg site and it is impressive as the Nano is recognized faster.

everything works on Logic, the fader start function when they reach the virtual fader in fact, also the pan, not bad assayed for accuracy, a good feeling, too bad for central panoramic does is not marked by a small notch. it's great for what is to lay the marker and move one to the other (which does not feature in GarageBand), the cycle mode, the control keys. which is great when it works rewire, I use logic, reason and TotalMix RME and there is fun to run Logic while having something displayed on the screen (mouse and keyboard you have to click the window logic to direct the DAW)

faults: I'm not used to working with a surface, I want to clarify that everything is black, it is necessary each time a little time to find their way (fader1, 2, 3 or 4, where's my coffee? what I'm trying to move?) buttons play, stop, solo, mute etc. .... do not inspire confidence (I already had one that slammed after nanopad1 1 year, I used it only once a month) these buttons are cumbersome to support, they are soft with the game so it will answer with the delay or so must have great strength (but hey, the feeling is bad c is a shame)

it says in the instructions that can connect multiple sub Logic (no garageband) but hey, given the size and operation of faders (who must move the project from those we are trying to find out the race fader of nanocontrol when connecting) it did not interest (unless you like the buttons mute, solo etc ...)
I just open it, Quick is good, big damper on the feel of the buttons and legibility of the "all black", I repost if I have anything to add in future uses, I do not know if we can say it's worth the price or not, I got it for gift certificates, so I think if I do not use more than one month after, I would say that it's not worth its price
