Fusker Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Looking for a stocking stuffer for myself. Anyone been using this for a while? Sounds like it would be pretty cool for the office or when traveling. Steinway L, Yamaha Motif XS-8, NE3 73, Casio PX-5S, iPad, EV ZLX 12-P ZZ(x2), bunch of PA stuff.

EricG Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Good idea, but the Korg Nano key is the wrong product !! You should go for this: http://www.akaipro.com/lpk25 , the Akai LPK25. You can actually play on these keys. I have used them both, and the difference is so big that there is nothing to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeronyne Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I would agree. I've had all three Nanos for a while, and the Nanokey is the weakest of the three. The NanoPad, however, is better than many full size pad controllers out there. "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 So wouldn't a mini nanoKey be known as the picoKey? Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The Korg Nano series is great. The Akai looks a bit thicker, so it depends on what you're going to use it for and the carrying space you have. The Korg Nanos easily fit in the space in many laptop bags.

Fusker Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 That's the idea, I'll send it back for the Akai if I don't like it Steinway L, Yamaha Motif XS-8, NE3 73, Casio PX-5S, iPad, EV ZLX 12-P ZZ(x2), bunch of PA stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, size is the reason some folks still opted for the Korgs instead of the Akai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightbg Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The Nano fits in front of my Acer netbook perfectly, but playing-wise the Akai wins hands down.

percussion boy Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Avoid the nanokey. It's not a real keyboard (black keys are no higher than white keys), and the keys themselves tend to break. I had read about the broken key thing in online reviews, but bought one anyway, I have a light touch. I babied the thing in transit. Key broke anyway. The akai is sturdier and has a real 3-d keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
