Korg nanoKONTROL 2 black

I had some problems to get this to work properly with Cubase in the beginning,
but after a couple of hours of testing I got it figured it out.
It does its job as it should and I find it very handy when I’m mixing drums or a section of strings (or any other “group” of instruments that play together as one) where I easily want to have control over each individual instrument.
The Korg nanoKONTROL 2 have a bit of almost “toy-ish” feel over it, but I the knobs have a nice response to them.
Overall I think it’s a decent midi-controller and for its very price worthy.
You basically get what you pay for, more or less.

This unit isn't as much useful as i wanted it to be.

It's nigh impossible to use (maybe if you have one of the supported DAWs, but i don't). Plain MIDI implementation somewhat works but pan pots are out of whack and you can't really switch between tracks, you're basically stuck with first 8 tracks. The resolution of the faders isn't nearly enough to fine-tune a mix (and this is expected, since the faders themselves are too small), and since this unit is cheap, it obviously doesn't have touch response or motorized faders (without which using a control surface is basically impossible).

The unit itself is well-made and is good at what it is supposed to do, problem is, it doesn't do much (but you get what you pay for).

Overall, one of the few purchases i regret making. If you, like me, want a control surface to have some physical interaction with your mix - don't fool yourself, save some money and buy a proper control surface.
