Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the correct way to connect my Korg nanoKey 2 to my computer via USB for use with MIDI software?

To connect your Korg nanoKey 2 to your computer via USB for use with MIDI software, follow these steps:
1. Turn off your computer if it's currently running.
2. Connect one end of the included USB cable to the "USB" port on the back of the nanoKey 2. The other end of the USB cable should connect to an available USB port on your computer.
3. Turn on the nanoKey 2 by pressing the power button located in the upper right corner of the keyboard. You should see the LED display light up and the lights for each key illuminate.
4. Once you have connected the Korg nanoKey 2 to your computer, you will need to install the drivers if you haven't done so already. To do this, go to the Korg website and download the latest version of the drivers for the nanoKey 2. Follow the instructions provided in the installation process.
5. After installing the drivers, open the MIDI software you wish to use with your nanoKey 2. You should now be able to select the Korg nanoKey 2 as a MIDI input device within your software.

Is the sustain pedal input on the Korg nanoKey 2 compatible with all types of sustain pedals?

The sustain pedal input on the Korg nanoKey 2 is compatible with most standard 1/4" sustain pedals. However, it may not be compatible with some non-standard or specialized pedals, such as those designed for specific instruments or with unique connections. To ensure compatibility, it's recommended to use a standard sustain pedal that can be plugged into the 1/4" jack on the nanoKey 2.

How does the Korg nanoKey 2's aftertouch functionality differ from traditional MIDI keyboards?

The Korg nanoKey 2's aftertouch functionality is different from that of traditional MIDI keyboards in that it offers both pressure and aftertouch sensitivity. Most traditional MIDI keyboards only have pressure sensitivity, which detects how hard a key is pressed, while the nanoKey 2 also has aftertouch sensitivity, which detects the amount of force applied to a key after it has been released. This additional sensitivity allows for greater expressiveness and nuance in your performances.

What is the primary difference in functionality between the Korg nanoKEY 2's velocity curve settings and its touch feeling settings?

- **Velocity Curve Settings:** Imagine you're playing a piano. You press down on the keys with varying force, from light to hard. The velocity curve setting determines how much range that is recognized by your DAW or device, so if you play softly, it might not register, but if you play firmly, it definitely will. Touch Feeling Settings:** If you're playing a piano and you accidentally press the keys very lightly (but still hit them), some keyboards might not register these presses at all. This is where touch feeling settings come in - adjusting this setting can make your keyboard more or less sensitive to light presses, so even soft key presses are registered. In summary, velocity curve settings deal with the expressive range of key presses and how they're recognized by the device, while touch feeling settings concern the sensitivity of the keyboard itself.
