Korg - microKEY2-25AIR Bluetooth Wireless + USB MIDI Controller - 25 Key - Black

I bought this 61 noter as a supplementary USB connected keyboard to mount on my desk whilst using Ableton Live on my Mac Mini - you can never have enough midi keyboards!! :-) Now, just to clarify, for those that might not know, this keyboard does not make any sounds on its own. It relies on other devices to make the noises like computers etc running the right software to make your music happen. This keyboard generates signals called midi as you press the notes etc and these are understood by specific software running on the computer you've connected it to as musical notes to pass on to 'virtual instruments' running on the computer or perhaps other hardware 'synths' etc also connected to the computer. This keyboard does come with a download code for some music making software courtesy of Korg. Anyway, to have 61 keys in this footprint is really useful! The keys are, of course, mini (or micro) but you soon get used to their size and they are very playable with a nice feel. The pitch bend and mod wheel have a great feel too! The velocity sensitivity is excellent. You can tweak the velocity sensitivity 'curve' (amongst other things) using the excellent Korg Kontrol Editor app, available as a free download from Korg. I would advise getting this app anyway for this keyboard - there's all sorts of exciting settings that can be tweaked! It works natively out of the box without any additional drivers on Macs so I also use it as a convenient keyboard for my Mac Book Pro too. A nice midi keyboard at a great price!

I've a digital piano for proper playing, but when it comes to entering simple tracks into sequencer or scoring software, nothing's better or more immediate than a little keyboard on your desktop. Whether using Sonar, Sibelius, or something else, multi-part orchestrations and synth tracks and vocal notes that don't need the full span of an 88 note piano are quickly and accurately executed on the microKEY. The keys are small but not painfully so (though I have small fingers!). The velocity sensitivity is good on the default and adjustable to 10 settings in software. The stick provides a valuable XY interface for many synths and instruments to get the most from them. Build quality is pretty robust. There's nothing I can fault it on. This little device is perfect for the job and at a very reasonable price, especially when you factor in the few quality audio packages it comes bundled with, including the Kork M1 virtual instrument, AAS Lounge Lizard Session Rhodes electric piano instrument, and AAS Strum Accoustic Session instrument that authentically recreates strummed and fingered guitar tracks on a keyboard. I read around a good few reviews of microkeyboards before I settled on this, and I continue the recommendations. If you're after a desktop keyboard, you'll not be at all sorry with this choice. (Used with Windows 7 32 bit, Sonar X1, and Notion 4)

Good midi keyboard with nice touch. Bluetooth works fine with Ipad, but I could not get Bluetooth to work with Windows 11, tried all the suggestions on the internet and downloaded Korgs drivers but to no avail. Worked fine with usb connection though

I find this MIDI Controller to be just the thing I needed for my music production. :) I can get my ideas down quickly and then fine tune them in my DAW's MIDI Piano Roll. Typically I can have an idea, then lose it because it would have took too long just to manually draw in the notes and length, and it's just so much faster with a MIDI Controller. It's got 2 octaves, a Modulation/Pitch Shift analogue stick, octave shifting buttons, a simple single note arpeggiator and a sustain button with tap functions to control the rate of the arpeggiator. It's got a fairly good feel, despite it's small size. It connects through USB, and supports anything that uses MIDI input. Feels better to use than some Yamaha keyboard I once played on too. All of the aforementioned details does justice enough for my 5 stars. But wait! There's more! You get a license key with the MIDI controller which works as a login to access a bundle of music software for free, apparently totalling up to the value of $1100 dollars. I recommend accessing the included software bundle and registering the products. It's going to save you money. The software included is quite a generous offering, and would make me want to rate it with an extra 5 stars. It's a huge saver. I love Korg products in general but the inclusion of this was a great move for Korg. 5/5 stars. :)

Amazon sent me the MicroKEY Air by mistake :-) They're almost the same, only the Air means you can play the Korg pianos (and other instruments) from you ipad or ipod without directly connecting the instrument. This works very well, so if you want Air ability, I recommend paying the extra (or hope that Amazon make another mistake). The Mirco keys on both the Korg Microkey and Mircrokey Air are nicely sprung and the size works well unless you have very fat fingers. I struggle a bit on octaves when adapting from the full size keyboard, but you get there eventually. Key size White key = 1,85cm x7.9cm: Black key 8mm x 4.2cm (before tapering down to the white keys). The piano software is good. So good I bought the other piano settings to expand the range. There are some good piano+strings/ synth instruments if you pay the extra. Korg are the only microkeys with more that 3 octaves - I got four, but I'm tempted by 5. If you own a usb full size keyboard you'll probably find that the microkeys on the Korg don't reduce the length too much by comparison (10 cm reduction from my full size Axiom). But width of the instrument and weight are massively reduced, so ideal for informal perfomance, busking, and travel generally etc. Very happy.

Realmente não existe um controlador de 61 teclas mais compacto. Sensibilidade das teclas me surpreendeu. Estou bem satisfeito

The instrument is quite good...but I am returning it as the keys are too small for me...

Produto de boa qualidade que me atendeu, conforme as minhas necessidades.

Très satisfait, les touches répondent bien à la dynamique qu'on lui donne.

This keyboard is small enough to keep by your computer desk, and yet large enough to get some decent usage. Would definitely recommend for the form factor alone. Simple in design, with no whistles or bells to distract, but most importantly - no more playing notes from my computer keyboard. EDIT: Depending on other USB instruments, the default Windows X driver may silently fail for the Korg Microkey, but is easily fixed with grabbing the latest driver from the Korg website and restarting your PC.
