Korg Nano Series 2

Does anybody know when these will be available in the US? Can't wait to see if the new NanoKey2 is better than the LPK25. I'm not a fan of the LPK25's stiff keys.

I own the nanopad2 and nanokontrol2 , the nanokontrol2 is well worth the money, the nanopad2 is not, I played with the nanokey2 for a bit, they are a bit better than the first nanokey but not as good as the lpk25

I recommend the korg microkey - feels much better

Personally I don't really see the point in the kontrol 2 over the kontrol 1. I've not actually seen it in the flesh but I doubt the build quality is good enough for a greater than 65% price increase and loss of a fader.

One question, does it receive midi for LED feedback?

in nanoKontrol2? MAYBE

because when using the mackie hui emulation, when you click on the record/solo on the screen with the mouse, the record/solo button on the nanoKontrol2 lights up, so they are in sync with each other, so with some midi mapping knowledge you may be able to do midi LED feedback

Now this is a big improvement!

Who can confirm that?

I just hate the fact that NKontrol 1 doesn't have led feedback on the buttons, Makes me go nuts when I have to press the button two times to reflect what shows in my screen

There's a parameter guide on the official site of Korg which states that LEDs can be turned on or off internally (like on the old nanopad) or externally (by CC messages from your pc).

You can check it out on page 9 of the parameter guide.

Looks like I might buy myself one, it has the ideal PCB for modding. 16 analogue inputs, 35 digital inputs (buttons), 30 digital outputs (LEDs), entirely bus powered and no programming needed, just set the controller to CC mode, and you can assign everything you want...

I don't think there is an alternative which is cheaper and easier?

worth a try for sure
