Product overview
What truly makes the KORG nanoKONTROL2-WH stand out among other solutions is its simplicity, wrapped in professional-grade functionality. Every element has been designed to break down the barriers between you and making music. It gives you eight channels, each with a fader, knob and buttons to control playback. Essentially, it’s a mini-mixer that fits right next to your laptop or on your desk like an extension of your hand.
You can easily adjust the volume on each track, record automation, or assign controls to your favourite synth and effect parameters. Quick switching makes it simple to reassign buttons, offering remarkably flexible operation. It integrates seamlessly with Logic, Cubase, Ableton Live, Pro Tools and many other sequencers, and thanks to Core MIDI support, you can even use it with an iPad.
It’s also worth highlighting the well-thought-out transport control section. With just a touch you can start recording, stop, or jump through project markers. This keeps you away from the screen and focused entirely on the music.
All this is packed into a slim white chassis that blends into any environment — from a small bedroom studio to a fully equipped sound engineer’s desk. Its featherweight build makes it indispensable for anyone creating music on the move or working in multiple locations.
Who is it for?
Whether you’re a beginner taking your first steps in music production, or a professional producer already handling larger projects, the KORG nanoKONTROL2-WH is a reliable creative partner. It delivers a sense of control and freedom that’s hard to achieve with just a mouse.
If you love recording your own tracks at home, this controller adds a natural human touch to your arrangements. For composers and arrangers, it offers a quick and efficient way to manage dozens of tracks and effects. Music producers will appreciate how it streamlines the workflow, while switching instruments and channels becomes second nature.
Session musicians and DJs can also take advantage of this controller for live performances. Its compact footprint keeps it discreet in your setup, but the speed and control it brings are immediately noticeable. And for students or those just beginning their musical journey, it’s the perfect first controller to open the door to new possibilities.
