Korg nanoKontrol Studio
With the Korg nanoKontrol Studio, you control mixers, transport functions, and MIDI parameters directly via faders, knobs, and buttons, instead of searching for them with a mouse or touchscreen. The slim controller connects via USB or Bluetooth Low Energy to a computer or compatible mobile device and remains highly portable with a width of 278 mm.
Mix and transport with direct access
Eight faders and eight rotary knobs bring levels, panning, sends, or plug-in parameters to a physical control surface. Each channel has buttons for Mute, Solo, Record arming, and Select, allowing you to operate eight tracks without constant switching in your DAW.
The transport section includes Play, Stop, Record, Fast-Forward, and Rewind, as well as Cycle and Marker functions. With the integrated jogwheel, you can navigate through your project or search for a specific spot to edit without having to reach for the mouse.
USB or wireless operation
The Micro-B USB port allows the controller to be powered directly and used as a MIDI device. For a mobile workspace, Bluetooth LE is available, for example when connecting to a Mac, Windows, iPhone, or iPad.
Operation with two AAA batteries makes the device independent of the USB port. Recordcase specifies a runtime of about ten hours with alkaline batteries, which is practical for on-the-go sessions or a tidy desk setup.
Configuration for your own software
Five scene memories store different controller assignments. This is useful if you switch between projects, DAWs, or custom MIDI assignments and do not want to reconfigure everything each time.
With the KORG KONTROL Editor, you can customise MIDI messages for faders, knobs, and buttons. KORG provides auto-mapping for several DAWs, including KORG Gadget, Ableton Live, Cubase, Studio One, and Pro Tools; other programs with MIDI Control Change support can also be controlled.
Korg nanoKontrol Studio in a mobile setup
The Korg nanoKontrol Studio is suited to producers who want to add a compact mixer and transport control to a laptop or tablet DAW. It is also ideal for small project studios, mobile recording setups, and musicians who want to operate MIDI parameters with faders and knobs instead of just using a screen.
For extensive mixes with many simultaneously accessible channels, a larger controller is the more appropriate choice. However, anyone who needs eight channel strips in a compact format and wants to switch between USB and Bluetooth operation will find a clearly organised control surface here.
