## Description

Korg - microKEY2-61 61 Key USB MIDI Controller - Black : desertcart.co.uk: Musical Instruments & DJ

Review: Well made, simple, and compact midi keyboard - Keys seem a little small at first but you soon get used to it and start to enjoy the extra reach you can get. Great to have 4 octaves on my desk. Keyboard is simple, straightforward, well made and enjoyable. If I had a bigger desk I'd get the 61 keys.
Review: Excellent space saving 61 noter! - I bought this 61 noter as a supplementary USB connected keyboard to mount on my desk whilst using Ableton Live on my Mac Mini - you can never have enough midi keyboards!! :-) Now, just to clarify, for those that might not know, this keyboard does not make any sounds on its own. It relies on other devices to make the noises like computers etc running the right software to make your music happen. This keyboard generates signals called midi as you press the notes etc and these are understood by specific software running on the computer you've connected it to as musical notes to pass on to 'virtual instruments' running on the computer or perhaps other hardware 'synths' etc also connected to the computer. This keyboard does come with a download code for some music making software courtesy of Korg. Anyway, to have 61 keys in this footprint is really useful! The keys are, of course, mini (or micro) but you soon get used to their size and they are very playable with a nice feel. The pitch bend and mod wheel have a great feel too! The velocity sensitivity is excellent. You can tweak the velocity sensitivity 'curve' (amongst other things) using the excellent Korg Kontrol Editor app, available as a free download from Korg. I would advise getting this app anyway for this keyboard - there's all sorts of exciting settings that can be tweaked! It works natively out of the box without any additional drivers on Macs so I also use it as a convenient keyboard for my Mac Book Pro too. A nice midi keyboard at a great price!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good midi keyboard with nice touch
*by J***R on 18 March 2024*

Good midi keyboard with nice touch. Bluetooth works fine with Ipad, but I could not get Bluetooth to work with Windows 11, tried all the suggestions on the internet and downloaded Korgs drivers but to no avail. Worked fine with usb connection though
