Bueno amigos de Trancemx, hace poco me compre un par de juguetes de Korg, muy buenos pa empezar a jugar ser productor (jeje se ke no es un juego pero mejor ke sea un hobbie a empezar a sufrir cuando no salgan las cosas, ademas se disfruta mejor).
Bien pues son bastante buenos por eso decidi postearlos aki, aparte por su precio sumamente bajo, son una buena opcion sobre todo el Nanopad y nanokontrol, he aki la descripcion, tomada de la pagina de Korg y otros detalles de aki y alla.
Introducing the new Korg nanoSERIES. These USB-powered, slim-line controllers are designed to make the most of your valuable studio space, and are small enough to take with you on any musical journey. Place one in front of your laptop, rest one on your workstation, park one on a recording console - or anywhere else you need versatile control over your DAW, virtual instrument, effect or DJ software. Small in size, all three controllers go HUGE when it comes to functionality, yet their intuitive layouts provide extremely easy operation for any user.

NANOKEY
The NanoKey shrinks the two-octave keyboard to the size of melodica. Actually a bit smaller, as all of the NanoSeries are almost exactly the width of my Apple MacBook.
It bends pitch with a pair of momentary (active only when held down) buttons, plus a mod “wheel” button you can set to momentary or toggle mode. Sorry, analog geeks, they’re not pressure-sensitive like the pitch buttons on an ARP Odyssey, but you can adjust their transition speed in the Kontrol Editor software.
In fact, this software can do extensive configuration. For starters, you get four velocity curves. What’s more, you can modify each key’s behavior in very useful ways, such as changing their note values independently. In CC mode, each key can send a different MIDI command (in momentary or toggle fashion) and you can set entry and exit values per key.
All of the above would be worth the price of admission, but Korg also included the M1 Le, a software replica of their legendary M1 workstation, right down to the original presets.
NANOKONTROL
Hooray for nine faders! That’s enough for a full set of organ drawbars or the usual eightplus- master mixer setup. Each fader is topped with a knob and flanked by two backlit buttons, and the NanoKontrol can toggle between four complete control “scenes.” You could make each scene control a different soft synth, or use them for fader-banking to handle a mix of up to 36 channels. You can configure every knob, fader, and button via the editor software, and the backlit transport controls make for a portable alternative to DAW controllers costing a heck of a lot more.
I tried out the NanoKontrol as my primary controller for DJ-ing with Ableton Live. While my current control box has way more knobs, configured in a slightly more ergonomic fashion, it’s about six times the NanoKontrol’s size and weight — a huge consideration in cramped booths designed for CD-based DJs. With a few modifications to my approach, I got 90 percent of the functionality in a fraction of the footprint. While the shorter throw of the faders is a drawback, I’ll likely switch to the NanoKontrol for my 2009 touring. The convenience is far too tempting to disregard.
NANOPAD
Rounding out the series is the aptly named NanoPad. As with the NanoKontrol, four configurable scenes let you control up to 48 triggered sources, if with a bit of fancy footwork.
The 12 rubberized pads have a tactile response that’s sure to please Akai MPC fans. Each pad can be up to eight velocityswitched layers deep, and each layer can send its own note number if you so choose. Alternately, pads can send CC messages, with momentary/toggle behavior and entry/exit values settable per pad. Can some pads trigger sounds while others send CCs? Sure — that’s different from the NanoKey, which is either in note or controller mode as a whole.
The only thing some other machines’ drum pads do that these don’t is aftertouch, so you can’t hit the pad, then affect the triggered sound by pressing harder. A common use for this is rolls and flams, though, and the NanoPad has buttons for those. Want to sonically sculpt triggered loops or hits? Assign controllers to the X-Y touchpad — cutoff and resonance of a filter plug-in are great choices — and it’s on!
