Nano Nano

Korg's new nanoSeries USB controllers are designed to be both stylish and ultra-compact. Models include the nanoKEY ($62), a 25-key velocity-sensitive MIDI keyboard controller; the nanoPAD ($72) drum pad controller, which features 12 velocity-sensitive trigger pads; and the nanoKONTROL ($72), which boasts nine faders, nine knobs, 18 switches, and a full transport section. Each of the three Nanos weighs under 3/4 of a pound and comes with Korg's M1Le software, which recreates the sounds of the M1 workstation of yore. korg.com
