MICROKEY2-61AIR

In the microKey Air series from Korg we find all the features of the second series of MIDI/USB microKey keyboards to which is added the new Bluetooth transmission function of the generated MIDI data, which allows for wireless use. Thanks to Bluetooth Smart " Apple Bluetooth Low Energy MIDI" and power supply via two AA batteries, for an autonomy of approximately 30 hours of use, you can use these keyboards without any cables, in absolute freedom, with all iOS devices (iPad/iPhone) and with recent Apple MacOS computers and Windows PCs, which support the Bluetooth protocol from version 4.0 onwards. The Wireless function is activated via a special switch on the side of the product. Korg microKey Air can also work via USB, a connection that will provide not only the transmission of MIDI data, but also the power supply. These peripherals do not require drivers to operate via USB with Windows and MacOS operating systems, which will automatically recognize them once connected. 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 in the execution of chords, glissandos and fast melodic phrases, thanks to a ratio between the white and black keys studied specifically for this purpose. For these characteristics, the keyboards of the microKey and microKey Air series by Korg are an excellent physical extension for playing any type of virtual instrument.

The 37-, 49-, and 61-key versions of the microKey Air 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 microKey Air 25 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 transposition. For programming the velocity curve and other functions, you can use the Kontrol Editor software that can be downloaded directly from the Korg website: https://www.korg.com/us/support/download/product/0/531/#software
