Free delivery and returns on eligible orders. Review: Great Package - REVIEW UPDATED - Delivery - Excellent. Build quality - better than expected. Performance ? Read on.... I have a Korg nanoKontrol 2. Great product. Slightly short faders but fits on the bottom of a Macbook real sweet. Also works with several KORG apps on iOS - iMS20, iElectribe and Gadget. Best is iMS20 by far. One button switches between mixer and synth. If the app had Link it would be the total business. Only drawback is the USB lead. Not good on an old school 32 pin iPad with a camera adapter, better on a Lightning equipped model. So the wireless version should provide all of the functionality of the USB only model right ? Maybe a bit more ? Wrong. All my KORG iOS apps recognise it and flag it as connected. So let's try some of them.... iDS10 ? No. Well I could hope.... iMS20 ? No. iElectribe ? No ! Gadget ???? After all, there is a button on the front panel labelled "SCENE" - maybe you could cycle between scenes ??? Very limited mixer control only. Jog wheel, scene buttons and FF/FR buttons are redundant. The track buttons are duplicated by the Select buttons above the faders and don't illuminate.... Leave them alone. And why is there a label with Wireless on it painted out ???? I will keep it. In a few years time, secondhand iPAD Pro's will be within my grasp and a Link locked 8 track version of Gadget will run like clockwork. Oh dear KORG it could have been so much more..... How about some downloadable profiles for the editor ??? TIP - If you connect this unit to the editor on Mac, the SCENE lights will come on and the unit will no longer talk via Bluetooth. If you can find a factory reset mentioned anywhere on the net, you are well clever. I used the same routine as described for the wired version ? Hold down CYCLE and the two TRACK buttons and power up using USB. Worked for me. UPDATE 20/5/22 I HAVE UPGRADED TO IPAD AIR. WITH KORG ELECTRIBE WAVE, THIS UNIT PROVIDES FULL CONTROL. 2 BANKS OF 8 FADERS INSTANTLY. WELL DONE KORG FOR IMPLEMENTING. INCREASED RATING TO 5 STARS Review: It's sturdy hard plastic but way too expensive for what it is - Why did you choose this product over others?: I have had the nano series for several years and they have been fairly reliable and convenient when travelling. I'm not too impressed with this new version as it will only connect to a few DAWs with a bit of extra programming via the control editor and even then not all the functions it supposedly has. It's sturdy hard plastic but way too expensive for what it is. When I have more money I'll buy something better. ## Features - Smaller than a letter-sized sheet of paper, the Studio is designed for portability - the perfect size to easily carry in a bag and use with your computer. - The Studio MIDI Controller is battery operated and can connect wirelessly with your iPhone/iPad or Mac/Windows. - The Studio can connect via USB and wirelessly.

Disclaimer: I'm the creator. :) **Q: will this work with Mixcraft daw** A: i am not sure, i found it almost impossible to set it up for reason and cubase. :( i haven't used it to make music once yet. I wish you more luck than i had. **Q: Re korg nanokontrol midi controller, does this work well with samplitude music studio?** A: I think it should work with any DAW. I use it in Reaper, Logic, Garageband on Mac and Reaper and Cakewalk on win10. It's just right for me as I can only play some chords for pads, strings and some organ stabs. Aslo I use it with Drum synths. **Q: Hi, I’m a little confused. The photos for the listing are of a nano key2 in white, but the white option to select is of a nano pad. Which one is it?** A: I think it depends what's in stock.. I can see the white key version today (13th September) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Package - REVIEW UPDATED *by J***N on 14 March 2022* Delivery - Excellent.

INCREASED RATING TO 5 STARS ### ⭐⭐⭐ It's sturdy hard plastic but way too expensive for what it is *by M***7 on 5 July 2025* Why did you choose this product over others?: I have had the nano series for several years and they have been fairly reliable and convenient when travelling. I'm not too impressed with this new version as it will only connect to a few DAWs with a bit of extra programming via the control editor and even then not all the functions it supposedly has. It's sturdy hard plastic but way too expensive for what it is. When I have more money I'll buy something better. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rosetta needed for using Logic Pro X *by A***R on 19 December 2022* Excellent controller, but could not get it to work with Logic Pro X until after contacting Korg support and finding out the Korg Logic plug-in requires you to start up Logic in Rosetta mode on an M1 Mac. It does not state this anywhere in the literature. I am told Korg will be updating their Logic Plug-in but no idea when. All working great now thanks to the great support but also slightly disappointed by the aforementioned and also that the scenes only work if you use it without the plug-in as an assignable midi CC controller. Hence only 4 stars. ## Frequently Bought Together - Korg Midi Controller (NANOKONST) - khanka Hard Travel Case Replacement for Compatible with Korg Midi Controller (NANOKEY-ST) - Korg Midi Controller (NANOKEY-ST),Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49125225-nanokontrol-usb-and-bluetooth-studio-mobile-midi-controller](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49125225-nanokontrol-usb-and-bluetooth-studio-mobile-midi-controller) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
