25 Backlit Keys with Scale Guide and Easy
Scale for an Error-Free Performance
The nanoKEY Studio is equipped with 25 velocity-sensing keys. Oc-
tave Shift buttons (+, –) allow access to every note. Unique Scale
Guide key lighting and Scale Guide features allow anyone—regardless
of keyboard skill—to give a perfect performance, without ever play-
ing an off-key note!
8 Dynamic Pads for Triggering Drums or Playing
Perfect Chords
In addition to the keys, the nanoKEY Studio also provides eight touch-sen-
sitive pads. These pads can be used to play drum sounds and trigger sam-
ples. Combined with the Chord Pad feature, each pad can also play a dis-
tinct chord in key with the selected scale for fast audio production.
KAOSS-style Two-Axis Touchpad Provide Intui-
tive Fingertip Control
Using the same style of two-axis touchpad as the renowned KORG
Kaossilator, the nanoKEY Studio can intuitively control two parame-
ters in real time using a single fingertip gesture. In addition to con-
trolling Pitch and Modulation, the touchpad can be set to control any
two MIDI parameters. The Touch Scale feature tunes the pad to the
selected scale and key, allowing your free-form pad gestures to
translate into a perfect musical performance.
8 Assignable Knobs Deliver Real-time Control of
Your Musical Software
Eight real-time performance knobs deliver immediate, hands-on
control of your musical software. Each knob can be assigned to a
specific MIDI Control Change (CC) message so you can tweak the
settings as you play your software synthesizers or while you record
to your DAW.
8 Programmable Scene Memories offer Instant
Access to Your Favorite Settings
Take control of your entire computer music system! The
nanoKEY Studio allows you to create eight entirely different soft-
ware-specific scenes and instantly switch between them. This one
keyboard can control all of your favorite software synthesizers—and
your DAW system—at the touch of a pad!
Convenient USB and wireless compatibility with
both desktop computers and mobile devices
Eliminate cable-clutter and create a wireless connection between
your iPhone, iPad, and/or Mac/Windows computer. The built-in wire-
less system is easy to use and simple to set up.
