Gain powerful control over your favorite music software, Korg-Style! For standalone soft-synth live performance applications or as a music production studio tool, Korg's MicroKey is the perfect choice for controlling your computer's music software. 

The microKEY is slim, lightweight, USB-powered, and compatible with all your computer's music software. Use it to create your own compact and customized command center. The microKEY features 37 velocity-sensing mini keys, using the same Natural Touch keyboard found on the Korg microKORG XL and microSTATION. This keyboard is designed with special attention to touch and feel. The proportions of the black keys and the white "waterfall" keys have been adjusted for optimal playability, and the key touch facilitates playing chords, glissando, and rapid-fire phrases. 

The microKEY accurately conveys the dynamics of your performance to any software plug-in. The Octave Shift buttons extend the range of the microKEY by four octaves in each direction - up or down. Key Transpose allows you to play in any key instantly. Combined, these two functions provide access to the entire range of MIDI notes. 

To add expressive flavor to your performance, the microKEY is also equipped with a Pitch Bend wheel and a Modulation wheel. Your new microKEY functions as a dual-purpose USB hub. The two USB (Type A) ports allow you to expand your custom control center by adding a Korg nanoPAD or nanoKONTROL - or any other USB device! 

Download the free KORG KONTROL Editor (available on the Korg website) and customize the microKEY for your own production or performance system. Using the editing software, you can set the keyboard to respond to one of eight distinct velocity curves or set a fixed velocity value. Additionally, the range of the modulation wheel can be customized by setting the minimum and maximum control change values.
