  • where do you dowload editor and driver

  • can i use this and an mpd18 with ableton live at the same time?

    

  • how does it learn the ctrl values is there a READ/WRITE behaviour like Cubase does it!

  • What about logic 9 will it work?

  • @MattsterFelix Any midi supporting daw will support any midi device. Midi is a binary language, nothing fancy

  • Does it work with Studio One? Is it better than the nanoKONTROL 2?

  • i like how its extremly easy to change the configuration of the daw with korg

  • very good review, thanks

  • Is it possible to remove the face plate to customize it?

  • Very good + useful review

  • can you use the nanokontrol as a sort of clip launching tool - in a stripped down but similar way to an apc20 or launchpad? Just want to get familiar before investing in a bigger controller!

  • just curious is it flimsy with short life like the other nano products. cuz i played with the nanopad a bit but ended up taking it back because i was told it was only a matter of time before it went bust. but id figure the wear and tear on this would be a bit different? is it?

  • LOL WHO SAYS QUEPON!!! LMAO !!!

  • Really nice review...!

  • do you need midi cable?

  • Very detailed and precise review, thank you!

  • Great review of pros and cons and clever stuff that can be done with it!

  • i need a wizard. i'm running the nanokontrol through logic studio 9.1.1. when hitting the mute/solo buttons, the light does not stay on when the effect is triggered. any help? i'm on mac os 10.5.8

  • its USB 2.0 only?? o can i use those controllers with a regular usb hub??

    nice review by the way!

  • Can you use it as a loop device for guitar or bass?

    I mean, is there any way to plug it to a guitar amplifier or do you need to find some way to plug the guitar into your computer to use it as a loop station? 

  • great review, thanks!

  • is this only to fade the gain on MIDI tracks? or will it work with audio tracks as well?

  • @956miggz it works with both

  • the knobs wouldn't skip any values if you moved them fast either, you just need to sort your latency out.

  • @ArtCrag can you tell me how i would go about doing that? im planning on buying this and i would rather not deal with any latency.

  • @Goldmotherfunker ASIO4ALL might help

  • can i mix my other music with this

  • PEOPLE! U Can use Every Thing that Works with Midi with FL Studio, meeennn

  • hey would this work with the presonus firestudio project?

  • awesome interview, i got one my self, how did you get the toggle function to work with ableton?

  • he got an awfully dodgey model

    i hav a nanoKONTROL and you can twist the knobs as fast as you want, and there are no shitty flashy LED's

    i would reccomend buying this its great for its price

  • omg im so depressed! i saved up my money for a month and went and got this thing. but now i cant get it to work!

  • i have a similar controller, and i can only push one button at once (mute). can you push two buttons simultaneously with the nanokontrol?

  • do this works on ableton live 8 suite?

  • Yes

  • dude your a pimp

  • it works with virtual dj 6?

  • great review,the reviewer comes exactly to the point.talked about precission and stuff like that.veeery helpful.thanks.

  • got one last week.

    LOVE IT

    it's the perfect companion to a padkontrol

  • where can i download the editor for it?

  • korg(.)com

  • can u use this with fl studio 9?

  • lol, everywhere you can read these "can you use this with FL studio" questions... its funny

  • @GregorEicher Hahahaha. Oh god. I actually laughed there, because I noticed the same a few days ago. Kinda funny ya. ^-^

  • @Hoooo33 As if FL Studio would be a handicaped programm... haha... "is this possible to do in FL Studio??? Can you use this with F Studio???"... god damn...its just a sequenzer... ^^

  • @GregorEicher Ya. I really don't think they actually know what a MIDI keyboard really is... Which is kinda funny since they probably are considering buying one. ^_^

  • @Hoooo33 Yeah...but the best questions in forums are these: "where can i find a hip hop synthesizer, or a hip hop vsti???" ... "which plugin do i need to make this sound??" hahahaha...

  • @GregorEicher or just the question: "are you able to put hip hop drum samples on the 'machine' and play live"... Geez, something inside me died there.... :P

  • @GregorEicher So, can you???? :O LOL, I'm just kidding! :P

  • @GregorEicher

    you said some real homie!!!

    i love ableton, and wish more people used it . but these fl studio users are like a bad

    fart they've spread to every page concerning every daw asking the same question CAN YOU USE THIS WITH FL STUDIO !!!!!!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL!!!!!!!!!

  • @mnlkthms Yes, i use ableton too... i prefer it nowadays... i started from scratch with FL studio in the year 2003, changed to Logic then and now im using Logic and Ableton. With Reaktor from NI Ableton is the most powerful sequenzer for me. I loved FL Studio, it was cool, and i think it still is, but its community and users are mostly whack and stereotype... they dont go out to find out something, theyr just asking qustions over questions... ^^

  • @GregorEicher

    i've had minor issues with ableton being that it's so different from other d.a.w.s

    but the way you can manipulate audio with it and mix and d.j. is incredible.i can only imagine what version 9 will be like but for right now i've got my hands VERY full with suite 8,when i jumped from live lite, to live intro to suite i had pretty much stopped coming outside for like months,yet i still have only scratched the surface of this program.i want to use reason 5 with it (via rewire)

  • @mnlkthms Yes, live is a bomb. It took me a lot of time to get really into lives structure and workflow, up to a half year or more... of course i was advantaged cuase i worked with several sequencers before, but it was a little bit hard to get on my level with live. and im still aint always into live. there are only a few things they annoy me in live, but the positive things are overwhelming. i think i will not update immediatley when 9 comes out, cause of the issues in the past with 7/8 update

  • @GregorEicher, why do you care about the COMMUNITY and not the DAW itself? so dumb

  • @JohnF30Music Who says that i CARE... i just notice it... by the way, suck my nuts...

  • @GregorEicher half your comment was about it, so you apparently care. It changed your opinion of FL so you apparently do care.

  • @JohnF30Music Bla bla to the bla.

  • @GregorEicher can you use with fl studio??? XD im serious can you use it ????

  • @dankaiba No my son, i dont think you can use it with FL :D ... just forget it, give up to produce music, cause you will never make it work with FL... im so sorry for you my son, im so sorry! ... im asking myself what a FL user would do if someone tells him something like this?? hahahaa

  • @GregorEicher

    /watch?v=ZQ3t7IPMcLU

    all done on FL. doesnt matter the program just the VSTs u plug into it and the sounds you can create

  • @GregorEicher Some people like FL over Ableton. For me, FL's interface is just right for me.

    The nanoKontrol is a pretty awesome piece of kit, and some people are just curious.

  • Absolutely great review. Just ordering this now, so thanks for this.

  • thx! really informative and helpful review.

  • Is it usable with Mainstage 2?

  • Does anyone know if this will work with Pro Tools as a control?

  • @drummerblh2 go to the sweetwater site. There's a review on either the white or black version that explains how to get it "functional" with PT. PT8 seems to be the focus of the hassle, maybe earlier versions are more compatible?

  • Are the knobs continuous or not?

  • nope

  • That's really helpful thanks.

  • can you use this thing as a mixer in any recording software ?

  • virtual DJ pro allows for HID and MIDI devices to be mapped so you could use it as a mixer i guess but it wouldn't be ideal...

  • good and informative review, wish all reviews would be so good. cheers from Germany, Frank

  • Thank you very much! I wished all reviews on youtube would be this informative.

  • Hi. This work with reason 3 and 4?

    Thanks for the help

  • Hi everyone, I use bcd3000 with traktor pro, and it working perfect, yesterday I bought nanokontrol I connected to computer and now for some reason in traktor pro bcd3000 its not working and the latency of knobs and faders in traktor pro is very low, works only BCD3000WDM in the audio setup choice menu, please this is driving me crazy....

  • Very nice review!

  • Very good review; to-the-point.

  • knob resolution doesn't matter just put it where you want and it snaps there

  • no. resolution does matter when you are doing automation.

  • yeah but aren't there numbers around the knob so you can look at the knob while you turn it?

  • I don't think you understand what automation is. Automation is not just turning the knob and leaving it at a some value you want. Automation means turning the knob to change the value of a parameter while recording... How fine the resolution of the controller is determines how smooth your automation recording will be. Turning the knob and leaving it at some point is not automation.

  • oh u were talking about during recording...

    ok

  • daws will smooth out this curve anyway

  • I don't think Ableton Live does any smoothing, which is kind of a bummer. Other DAW's might because you can use curves.

  • i said i wanted a unicorn not a nanoCUNTrol...lol....j/k i like this nanokontrol..$60??? not bad but the nanokey sucks....akai lpk25 midi velocity keyboard kicks ass at $69,,,,weeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i totally agreee man i bought a nano key and it breaks azll the time lpk is a minature mpk

  • i like ponys

  • Good

  • Thanks for posting this video. I wanted to buy one of these to complement my other gear for MIDI DJing but I'm not so sure anymore. In a live setting, it helps when things just work and you don't have to worry about problems like the above as they can make very simple tasks very frustrating!

  • hey

    where can i get the editor and the dirver?

  • On the Korg website, support.

  • WiIl this work with Reason 4 and/or Fl

  • yes, I use mine with fl studio and sonar

  • "overall, for sixty dollars, I cant complain"

    this video is a complain-fest.

    why didn't you do some cool shit with it, like make the first fader automate your dads balls onto your forehead, and with the second solo button, control the attack time of your cats meow.

    that's what I would do, if I owned one.

  • Simon, why criticize? The interview is a good one -- I just got the nanoKontrol and found this was informative. You may think he's complaining, but I find he's showing subtleties that aren't readily apparent.

    You are complaining ... about someone's interview complaining too much. AND you don't even own one!

  • Comment removed

  • I love you

  • @ 0:30

    Looks like Korg updated this. I just got the NanoKontrol and I can say for sure that the transport buttons are solid and are now 6 individual buttons instead of what looks like here to be a sheet of 6. On mine, if you press one, the surrounding buttons won't move at all. FYI, I have the black version

  • great! thanks a lot.

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for the review.

  • How do you save the scenes for this in reason??? Like i will edit remote override then how do i save what i did

  • why do all the LED's flash uncontrollably? quality of the video maybe?

    ours doesnt do this!

    great video.. highly recommmend these things.. we use the entire NANO series live! crazyyyyy shit!

  • Has anyone used this with logic express 8 I have both nano and logic but the peramiters dont save I always have to reassign peramiters.I need help please

  • great review ;) you explain very good :)

  • It sucks with Logic... I going to buy a midi controller keyboard with the transport buttons and sliders... This one is a headache

  • does it work with cubase 5?

  • Do you know if this thing can send program change information using those buttons? I don't see any way to do this in the editor.

  • As for Korg making you download the software, that's actually a good thing, IMO. There's nothing I hate more than buying a brand new product and installing it only to find out the software needs updating. Or worse yet, using old software and missing out on added features or functionality. At least this way, everyone who buys the product will have the latest software.

    I tend to throw away or misplace driver CDs and end up downloading them anyway.

  • Great review! I was looking at the nanoKontrol and was curious to see how good it was. The button-sticking issue doesn't concern me all too much, but I really hope Korg will fix the MIDI information problem. For the price, you can't really complain too much, but I'd definitely buy one if that was fixed.

  • I think the buttons being able to stick is a blessing in disguise. Its great to have them set to momentary and then you keep it held down if you want something to stay on.

  • I'm having trouble connecting my nanokontrol to live. I know it is supposed to be as simple as clicking midi and assigning a knob or slider, but that is not working. any tips?

  • Well, I think this convinced me NOT to buy it. Really... it looks like a cheap bunch of plastic and would break if you looked at it too long. I think I'll save up and get something better made.

  • does this work with reason 4.0

  • Hey man,

    I just got this thing and the editor is nowjere to be found. Not even on the korg website. If you could send it to my email address I would be eternally grateful.

    Thanks

  • work on pro tracks plus? (Sonar?) Where are drivers/editor. I may get one.

  • Well, that's put me off!

  • yea what a piece of shit. it dosnt have a driver. the 50 $ voucher must be korg paying for our time to find and down load it

  • can u do a tutorial on the nanopad

  • Really good review! Nice one.

  • when i downloaded the editor and the driver. i dont know what to do next. how to i mix songs? what else do i need?

  • Are you kidding? A DAW like Ableton Live and some music! This is just a controller.

  • wow. a real review. good job. take note, people with cameras.

  • dude,does this work with adobe audition or cool edit pro?

  • thnx for the vid... well done to the point..!

    all i need to know was it hard to get use to the controllerstr8 out of the box besides reading the litterature?

    im waiting in confidence for you to answer that will help a lot and make my decision wether i should purchase it. im definately getting the nano pad, just wanted to add the nano kontrol with it not that i need it but seems like an easy and short way to cut corners to work on my tracks or djing..

    thnx again

    stay easy

    cultureofmusik

  • does this works with Cubase SX?

  • Hi!

    Those little problems might be solved

    with a simple driver update!Hopefully.

    I'm in Hungary,can't wait for the debut...

    I'll definietly check 'em!

  • does it work with mac and garage band?

  • yes

  • duuuuuuude this is for garage band...... i mean its for all midi programms...

  • So Is It A Mixer

  • uhh duh?

  • Thnx for this review, very useful!

  • Really useful. Thinking about getting the nanoPad and nanoKontrol for Ableton [if I can afford both].

  • do you have a nanopad yet then?

    How do the pads compare to the pK?

    Do they also have a Native Mode?

    ta

  • thanks

  • nice insights

  • Does anyone use this with Reason?!?!?! And stray could you possibly do the same with reason, i meen, are the features pretty much the same???

  • i got the nano pad and i use it with reason you have to do a lot of stuff manually but its not hard at all

  • please help me!

    i just got a nano pad and I have reason 3.0.

    but reason doesn't see y nano pad?

    what do I have to do?

    install something?

    thnx

  • Stray411, the nanoKontrol because of its lower quality and materials used in the nano line offers different overall feel to each individual controller. My nanoKontrol does not have the same issues as you describe. I noticed this from testing out the demo model in the store for the nanoKeys, nanoPad & nanoKontrol. I was lucky enough to find a solid version but, alternatively, the casing seems to be coming apart... nothing glue won't fix. The coupon's for 50$ off Ableton.

  • yea i have the same problem with thebuttons getting stuck. i also feel that the transportsections buttons are too close to each other, but except of this its a solid unit. i gonna put up a showcase of the nanokontrol using it along with the torq dj software in a bit

  • u gunna make native kontrol programs for these too?

    cause im way interested in that, i have a pad kontrol but i may wait to buy your wares for the nano series, since my pk is used as a vsti drumpad, im intrigued by the size of them and i think your native programs would be perfect for these

  • That's a great review! Hope a nano pad review coming soon.. :)

  • Nice job feeding my interest :)

  • nice review!
