They are cool!
But they're reminding me "Bontempi", musical-toys stuff famous here in Italy!

Yes, and I believe this is why we haven't had any updates or additions to the Korg Legacy Collection – the software team is working on this crap.

Kind regards.

Easy now...;) Some people actually want this type of stuff. I've been reducing the footprint of my composer setup to fit around a laptop and this nanoKey thingy is perfect. I just want to enter notes into soft-synths without carrying a full-size keyboard. This looks like it would fit in a laptop bag with no problem.

Korg follows the money and these days, it's in mobile gear. Great job.

I think the Nano Keys would be a great addition to any desktop computer setup as well -- say, for keyswitching samples in Kontakt, or quick auditioning of sounds.

I'm not crazy about the colors, though, which does make them look less respectable than if they were "pro-standard" silver and black.

They would be excellent for mobile/portable usage with a laptop, as well as desktop usage for quick inputting with minimal footprint. I think Korg have got something here.

They'd easily fit into a laptop bag.

The Nano Pad has caught my eye.

However, is the Nano Key touch/velocity responsive?

Very nice. Korg should do very well with these.

I can see them being very popular.

I stand (or sit, more accurately) corrected. It's still not something I'd ever consider. Guitar heroes. :roll: I've had enough of them to last a lifetime...

Nevertheless, thanks for the correction and clarification.

Kind regards.
