Korg Nano

Korg are unleashing a new range of ultra-cheap ultra-small MIDI controllers.

MusicThing notes:

'They are incredibly small, light and flimsy. Fortunately, they're also absurdly cheap. Even at just £49, the NanoKey is certainly the lamest - obviously built using clicky, rattly laptop keyboard technology. From the way it feels, it seems unlikely to have much velocity sensivity. You might be better off with something like this £50 Miditech Control 25, unless you're really stuck for space. At £59, the NanoPad is worth considering. The pads are a reasonable size, and the touchpad (from the PadKontrol) will be fun. The £59 NanoKontrol looks great, with a good number of knobs, buttons and sliders, useful (if rubbery) transport controls. It's hard to overstate how cheap and plasticky these things are. The faders are tiny and toy-like, the cases would need to be taped down to stop them moving across the table.'

For music producers and "gAbleton" geeks, here's Sebastian Tomczak's blog post about his LFO to CC Max patch [5.1MB zip, note the link in the post is dead] and a video of it running with Live.
