Some specs translated on CDM:"There are three different controllers in the line:
* nanoKEY: 25 keys, transmitting either as MIDI notes or (via a separate mode) Control Change (CC) messages. Octave shift (natch). Pitch, modulation. And it’s supposed to be velocity-sensitive, too, although we’ll have to get our hands on one to see how sensitive it is.
* nanoPAD: 12 pads, supposedly inheriting the terrific sensitivity and feel of the padKONTROL, which is pretty much the favorite pad controller round these parts. Chord Trigger. Control Change mode (as with nanoKEY). There’s even an X/Y touch pad with roll and flam mode, favorite features of the padKONTROL.
* nanoKONTROL: 9 faders, 9 knobs, 18 switches, transport controls. (No, really.) MIDI notes, 168 CC messages. There are even attack and decay times for the switches, allowing them to work as faders, filter controls, effects settings, and the like – something I’d love to see on other (full-sized) controllers."

These are a MUST have for me...even one of the smaller 25 key controllers are too big to carry every week in the suitcase on the plane. And they'd really be great in the air...it's hard to fit an Oxy8 on the tray table with the laptop. Can anyone procure one from Japan for me in case they never make it here?
ReplyDeleteI'd like a full-size keyboard with that kind of flat, switch-type action
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the minified padKONTROL - the regular padKONTROL is uber nifty, but this thin thing could fit more easily between my keyboard an iMac. :D
ReplyDeletethey just arrived, so small, so light
