  • Includes a MIDI Echo parameter that is selectable on/off.
  • Offers ability to add a variable amount of curvature to the response of the applied pressure of the BC3A. This allows you to correct for a nonlinear response or add greater response at one end of the breath range compared to the other.
  • Program it by sending it MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages, which is easily done with the MIDI Solutions Programming Tools software. Once programmed, the Breath Controller's settings are retained even after the power is removed. The Breath Controller can be reprogrammed with new settings as often as needed. The Breath Controller's factory default settings are for it to send CC #7 (volume) on MIDI channel 1, with the Echo parameter set to On.
  • MIDI powered and requires no batteries or power supply to operate with most MIDI products. A MIDI indicator LED lights up when the product is powered and flashes when MIDI data passes through it.

The Breath Controller can be programmed to send the following MIDI message types:

  • Aftertouch
  • Pitch Bend
  • Control Change
  • System Exclusive

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I want to know that, does this controller can use in Sound Device Mixpre-10T?

A: No. This is designed to controll software within a DAW.

Q: 2. Could this be configured to control software such as lightroom or premiere pro?

A: This is feedback from users of this product.As long as you do not install the Korg MIDI USB drivers, it has the potential to be mapped to different DAWs. However with that being said, Korg as a manufacturer does not guarantee this controller to work with anything that does not support their drivers.

Q: 3. How can I charge my keyboard ? 110V and 220V works ?

A: This keyboard controller draws power from the computer it is connected to.

Q: 4. when this controller is used to control more than 9 channels..we need to go to the next bank of faders and after returning to first bank (1-9) previous values of software mixer faders jumped to the new settings when we try to move sliders of nano kontrol?

A: Because the faders are not automated, they will remain in the same physical position when you jump from one bank to another. However the levels on each bank will not change when you shift banks. The levels on the next set of banks will ONLY begin to change if you begin touching the faders.

Q: 5. is it good for beginners

A: For learning to play keyboard, no, it is not very good as the keys are very small and do not feel like a real keyboard. For someone getting into computer music production, yes.

Q: 6. Does this Keytar come with a strap?

A: Yes, the Alesis Vortex Wireless 2 USB / MIDI Keytar Controller comes with a strap.

Q: 7. Will this work with F8 recorders the same way it works with MixPre10?

A: Yes, the Korg nanoKONTROL2 - Slim-Line USB MIDI Controller should work the same way with the Zoom F8n Multitrack Field Recorder as it does with the Sound Devices MixPre-10 Multitrack Field Recorder.

Q: 8. Can the external microphone adaptor be used with this cage?

A: Yes, the Insta360 Utility Frame for X3 does not block the X3's ports so you can still use the microphone adapter.

Q: 9. Do the dials have detents/clicks? I would like a controller that has about 10 clicks per full turn.

A: No

Q: 10. Does it include a license for Kontakt?

A: No, the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32 does not include a license for NI Kontakt.

[Yes] This is my first keyboard, so there is a learning curve, and I have nothing to compare it to. I have no complaints about the key action, seems very responsive and easy. All the faders and knobs are sturdy and easy to move. Works great under both Logic and Ableton.

[MIDI Utility] Just what I needed for my mixpre-10, wish it had meters as well.

[Yes] Keys feel great and are very responsive, I hooked it up and use it with logic pro flawlessly

[MIDI Power] With loads of individual controls this controller has lots of scope, with standard Korg mediocre build quality. Having only owned it for a short time I can't speak to the durability but I've put ti through alot in a month as it's still working well.

I was not able to get the Bluetooth functionality working (something to do with 64bit bluetooth, but I have other bluetooth controllers I'm not willing to possibly lose to get this functionality).

[Yes] Works as advertised. Excellent, responsive keyboard with plenty of features.

[1x Power LED] I use the product to control Ableton Live and Reason and it is spectacular! It lets me have great hands-on control, the keys are amazingly expressive, the drum pads are great, and sliders are awesome too. This is for sure a great MIDI keyboard and easily compares to any MIDI keyboard out there. One con though is that the encoders are a little loose feeling, but it's not bad once you get used to it.

[MIDI Utility] This is a correction of my initial review. The pedal jack is MIDI assignable, which confused me to believe it could be configured as expression via MIDI, but sadly is not. Is a simple TS jack. For expression, you need a TRS jack (tip, ring, sleeve). But is nothing that takes away from this awesome keyboard. Still I believe is one of the best values under 100$. The key action is great, and very soft for fast riffs. I'll need to find a way to fit my second expression pedal in my rig.

[1x Power LED] The Korg nanoKontrol Studio is one of the USB MIDI keyboards certified for use with a Sound Device MixPre 10ii recorder. It connects to the USB-C port of the MixPre, and is automatically recognized and configured. The faders and start/stop controls are marked and permanently configured, as are the record and mute buttons. The dials control the trim, low cut frequency and pan settings, depending on the selected scene. It's all very straight-forward for real time control, superior in every way to the tiny knobs and endless menus of the MixPre.

[Yes] Bought this for travelling with my laptop, this is the most compact 61-key keyboard I've ever had, but more importantly NOT a piece of junk. Reasonable keyboard feel, bus-powered, and Reason integration is exactly what I needed, and the GX61 would have been worth it at even twice the price!

[MIDI Power] The controller is sturdy and fully programmable. It works great with the ipad, however you need a PC/Mac to program it the first time. The step sequencer is a great bonus for the price and it is easy to use. I highly recommend this controller.
