The second generation of the microKey series of keyboards from Japanese company Korg introduces native support* for iOS devices such as iPad and iPhone, includes a new 49-key model, and adds a damper pedal input to the 37-, 49-, and 61-key models. The new Korg microKey series has evolved to become more affordable and versatile, in order to represent the ideal choice for all the beginning musicians who dabble in computer music (PC and Apple ) and with music apps in the iOS environment (version 8 or later), as well as guaranteeing an excellent solution for professionals looking for MIDI/USB keyboards with a small footprint, conveniently transportable and positionable in any situation. The Natural Touch Mini keyboard will certainly not make us envy other models with larger keys, as it has been designed with particular attention to touch and response, to offer excellent playability when performing chords, glissandos and fast melodic phrases, thanks to a ratio between the white and black keys specifically designed for this purpose. For these characteristics, the microKey series by Korg keyboards are an excellent physical extension for playing any type of virtual instrument. The Korg microKeys are powered directly via USB and do not require drivers to operate with Windows operating systems (from version 7 onwards) and MacOS (10.8 and later), which will automatically recognize them once connected.
The 37-, 49-, and 61-key versions of the microKey series feature a jack input for connecting an assignable pedal, useful for sustain, for example, and two wheels for controlling pitch bend and modulation. The 25-key version features a sustain button, a joystick for controlling pitch bend and modulation, and an integrated MIDI arpeggiator. All models in the series are equipped with buttons (+ and -) for octave shifting. For programming the velocity curve and other functions, you can use the Kontrol Editor software that can be downloaded directly from the Korg website: http://www.korg.com/us/support/download/product/0/531/#software
