Ultimately it comes down to driver reliability. There's plenty of useful options out there for this sort of thing: the evolution UC-33, the M-Audio Finger, etc, but I've heard plenty of horror stories of those going haywire in the middle of a live set. eek!

If they're sub $100, I'd definitely give the little "knob box" a shot for getting work done in bed.]]>Jun 13th 2008 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/http://www.novationmusic.com/products/midi_control/remote_zero_sl/#details), and I'm pretty pumped about that.]]>Jun 13th 2008 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/Jun 13th 2008 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/Jun 13th 2008 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/

This could change the way alot of people get things done.
But ONLY,
1. If the price is right,
2. The keyboards send sensible midi CC and you don't have to spend hours setting them up.]]>Jun 13th 2008 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/]]>Jun 13th 2008 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/
The computer's keyboard is fine for basic trigger events, but there's no velocity sensitivity or aftertouch. This is perfect for triggering much more natural keyboard events without having to in later and edit the MIDI events to play with velocity. And they're so freakin' small, they'd be totally perfect for desktop composition or live triggers.

Plus, Korg have a good name -- as long as they aren't going the Bose or Polk routes by diluting their brand with cheap consumer electronics.

Korg's bread and butter *is* cheap consumer electronics. those chintzy keyboard keys and rubbery pads are par for nearly all consumer electronics makers.

the benefit of the kit in this post is that it gives you small size and a paradigm that is oh so familiar: black and white keys, sliders, knobs, and pads. i'm sure the plastic bodies flex and creak, but the point is the size and the USB power.

can these be daisychained?]]>Jun 13th 2008 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/Jun 14th 2008 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/Jun 13th 2008 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/Jun 13th 2008 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/korgs-nanoseries-shrinks-your-music-studio/$200 for the set.
