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

This Korg microKEY air keyboard, 850x139x54mm, was an ideal addition for a 61-note digital organ/harpsichord and a 27-note midi pedalboard. For const. key sensitivity (needed for organ/harpsichord), the free software Korg Kontrol Editor allows parameters to be changed on a PC or mobile device. These changes can't be made physically using the buttons or the 2 wheels of the keyboard. At present the software is only available for Mac/iOS and Windows devices, not android/linux. On the other hand opened-but-never-used ipad mini 2 tablets, well-suited to music & audio, are readily available for less than £50 on ebay. The Korg keyboard connects with usb cables or bluetooth. It was on offer on amazon prime for just under £80.

I am impressed with this keyboard, having connected it to the Windows laptop on arrival and composing a soundtrack in minutes - It feels great. However I am having problems connecting it wirelessly to the iPad which is why I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5. Once I work out how to connect it to the iPad that would be awesome and I may change to 5 star depending on how easy it is - So far Im not having luck with that. However as keyboard for a windows pc or laptop, this is excellent and simple and gives you lots of nice software with it aswell.

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 teach piano online and I thought it's good for teaching online as well as practising the piano. However, it needs quite more accessories such as cable to connect with PC, or need to buy new cable/adapter for connecting with the phone. It doesn't have any sound on it and needs software to have sound. Moreover, because it's portable so the key is smaller than the normal piano. With me, it's too small to play any song, and I think it will take a long time to familiar with this one, so I return. Lastly, the sound depends on the software you use, even I used Korg software, but sound not like the built-in sound piano. So I decided to return because it not fix my aim. However, if for producer, it might be good, I think.

I love this, it’s helped me be more creative in making music and it’s not to be or to small (that’s what she said), it’s a great keyboard to start of with.

Quality noon squeaky plastic, keys feel nice, doesn't take very long to get used to the smaller key size. Having more than 2 octaves is essential.

I have a number of software synths on my iPad but until I bought this I had no real way of playing them properly (read, messing about with them!). This was designed to pair with iOS devices, and it does so perfectly. You'll hear and read about people going on about latency, and that's right, it's a thing. But, what most people with latency issues do is make the mistake of also having the speaker be wireless. That's too much. If you have this keyboard connected using Bluetooth LE, and then either use the speakers in the ipad or plug directly into the aux input on some speakers, you'll experience pretty much negligible latency. Is there any at all? Sure, a tiny bit, but I'm not a high-speed concert pianist, and for 99% of people it will be imperceptible. There are plenty of YouTube videos of people playing this fast and it keeping up.They keys themselves, while small, or perfectly playable, and the unit itself is sturdy enough, even on your lap. I got the 61 key version which is quite long, but also the best value for money in my opinion. Even then it's still good in the lap, but if you don't need or want that many octaves, you can save money and get less. You can still use the octave up and down buttons to go up and down the scales.Batteries on this last ages, but you can connect via USB to both power it and completely eliminate any latency whatsoever. Best of all worlds.

This product is Korg! Nothing else to write but for those of you who do not understand, Korg make incredibly strong sturdy Keyboards, Synths & now, An Android Midi Controller. Funny thing is, Korg themselves had no idea their own product is recognised by Galaxy Android tech but but but BUT is it because I am also using Cubase 3? Cubase is another Android DAW product recognised by Android & Galaxy.GO you music loving creator wannabees, make your dreams a reality!Gosh, I should be paid for this review,.. "Erm, Korg, Korg. I want a Large Big Mac meal, Twice, please. Thank you."
