First of all, there are more powerful and complete control surfaces for DAW software, which is what I'm using to unit for. These more complete units are in the $600-$1000 range, so you should expect more from them. The Korg unit does not have motorized faders, and it doesn't control bus volumes. What it does is give you tactile control over eight channels that are bank switchable, all basic channel and transport controls and a very nice jog wheel. I am using it with Sonar Platinum, and the set up was very easy with presets for Sonar and other DAW software. This unit is replacing a Tascam FW-1082, which I liked very much. The Korg nanoKontrol Studio is much simpler, and if you look at it as a supplement to the mouse/keyboard interface, well worth the money. Review: Works with Auria Pro on Ipad Pro with powered hub - Korg nanoKONTROL Studio Mainly purchased this to use on the ipad pro and specifically with auria pro. I have no use for this anywhere else because I have a hardware production setup and don't use computers at all for music production. Apparently the Korg needs a bit more power than the usb3 dongle with the lightning port can provide. I had a pickle of a time trying to get the korg to be recognized. it powered up a few times (I would disconnect to plug it to the editor then plug it back to the dongle) but then it just would not power up anymore. Got a powered hub and now the korg turns on each and every time, so it seems the new apple usb3 dongle with usb port and lighting port does not provide enough current for both the ipad pro and the korg. and I use the 29w mac power brick with the usb to c lightning cable (1meter). As mentioned, the korg Kontrol Studio works with Auria Pro in PRO TOOLS mode. You can set this mode with a combination button press when you power up the Korg, so the editor is not needed unless you want to change some parameters for your unique setup. In my experience using this with Auria Pro: faders work mute/solo/record work. those buttons also light up when they are activated. "Select" was not working. i am not sure what it could be used for in auria pro pan knobs work transport (>) buttons work. you can cycle through 8 channels of tracks with the "TRACK" buttons ( ) eg. 1-8 , 9-16, etc. there is no visual feedback from the korg or on screen to show which 8 tracks the korg is controlling. you just have to keep count how many times you press those "TRACK" buttons. I mean you could press a mute or move a fader, etc to see a visual cue that way. the jog wheel works the same way the ffw/rew buttons do. if you move it one click to the right, the timeline scrolls continuous, same in reverse. if you click the jog wheel forward 2 or more times it jumps to the end, and jumps to the top if you do this counterclockwise. i prefer to have the jog wheel "jog" the timeline when you are rotating the wheel and STOP when you let it go, but i have yet to find a setting in the korg editor that will allow this to work. This is most likely how the software is implemented (Auria) and not the korg or its editor. this product is small, lightweight and works well out of the box. Recommend it. ## Features - A compact physical MIDI controller that’s ideal for mobile or desktop uses. - USB and wireless for more music production freedom. - Refined and stylish design - Please Note: Kindly refer the User Manual before use. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01AT2ATYU | | Additional Features | Compact, Lightweight | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,420 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #33 in Computer Recording MIDI Controllers | | Brand | KORG | | Brand Name | KORG | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone, Tablet | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | Connector Type | USB | | Control Method | Remote | | Control Type | Keyboard Controller | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 451 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04959112147430 | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware Platform | PC/Mac/iOS | | Human Interface Input | Buttons | | Included Components | User Manual | | Instrument | Keyboard | | Instrument Key | Any | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 6.81"D x 13.5"W x 1.65"H | | Item Type Name | Midi Controller | | Item Weight | 1.46 Pounds | | Keyboard Description | Ergonomic | | Manufacturer | Korg | | Manufacturer Part Number | NANOKONST | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Mixer Channel Quantity | 8 | | Model Name | NANOKONST | | Model Number | NANOKONST | | Model Year | 2016 | | Noise Control | None | | Number of Keys | 45 | | Outer Material | Plastic | | Platform | iOS | | Product Dimensions | 6.81"D x 13.5"W x 1.65"H | | Product Style | nanoKONTROL Studio | | Special Feature | Compact, Lightweight | | Supported Software | Ableton Live or Avid Pro Tools or FL Studio | | Total USB 2.0 Ports | 1 | | Total USB Ports | 1 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KORG - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth - **Model Name:** NANOKONST - **Number of Keys:** 45 - **Special Feature:** Compact, Lightweight ## Images ![Korg Nanokontrol Studio Bluetooth/USB MIDI Control Surface with 8 Faders & Backlit Switches - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZLadd-EWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will it function wirelessly (especially the transport) without any additional software installs?** A: Hi, yes it works without any additional installation of any software. You will need to pair it when you turn it on, and depending on what else you have paired already may require you do it each time. If you can use it with a device that you don't already have Bluetooth pairing on that would be best. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you **Q: Can these be daisy chained together in the daw to allow for control of additional channels in increasing groups of eight? like 2 for 16 channels etc** A: There is the concept of BANKS - there are 5 banks (scenes) so you can assign each of the 8 rows of controls to different things in each bank. So in your example you could control 5 groups of 8 channels each for a total of up to 40 channels. You just have to click a button to select which bank you want to use. **Q: Will this support reaper on a windows 10 pc?** A: Yes I havec the nanoKontrol Studio and I use it with Reaper 5 and now Reaper 6, my DAW of choice. If you run into issues, look at this page as sometimes a KORG product will appear not to work but that is because it must be assigned by Windows as a midi port between 0 and 9. https://support.korguser.net/hc/en-us/articles/115004269166-Windows-is-unable-to-recognize-a-USB-MIDI-device- **Q: does it come with a ableton live lite code? wich softwares are included in the bundle?** A: It includes Ableton Live (not lite) but not free it's a $50 discount, but despise that the free software package is amazing.

I felt like a real sound operator again. Having the REC button and analog faders back is incomparable, it speeded up my recording process a lot, everything was excellent. ## Frequently Bought Together - Korg Midi Controller (NANOKONST) - khanka Hard Travel Case Replacement for Compatible with Korg Midi Controller (NANOKEY-ST) - Korg Midi Controller (NANOKEY-ST),Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/24528718-korg-nanokontrol-studio-bluetooth-usb-midi-control-surface-with-8](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/24528718-korg-nanokontrol-studio-bluetooth-usb-midi-control-surface-with-8) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
