The Korg nanoKEY Studio MIDI Keyboard is priced at €119/£109/$121 and the Akai MPK mini MK2 white is priced at €79/£70/$81, with a difference of £41 between them. Let’s go head to head:

  • Both controllers have 25 speed-sensitive mini keys, the Korg’s are backlit and the Akai’s have synthesizer action.
  • The Korg offers 8 speed-sensitive trigger pads, 8 rotary knobs, an X/Y Touch-Pad (KAOSS-Series), also, octave +/- button, X/Y button, Pitch/Modulation button, sustain button and arpeggiator button.

  • The Korg also includes the KORG Legacy Collection M1 Le software plug-in. And the Akai includes Hybrid 3 by AIR Music Tech, SONiVOX Wobble and Akai Pro MPC Essentials software.

Let’s put the features of these keyboards in a table so you can compare

  • 25 mini synthesizer action keys
  • New 4-way ‘thumbstick’ for dynamic tone/modulation control
  • 8 MPC pads with note repetition

  • Dimensions: 317 x 181 x 44 mm
  • Weight: 748 g
  • Color: White

In this comparison, we found two good quality MIDI controllers with moderate performance, really very similar. On the one hand, we have the Korg nanoKEY Studio that offers 25 speed-sensitive and backlit keys, plus it offers 8 speed-sensitive trigger pads, 8 rotary knobs, an X/Y Touch-Pad (KAOSS-Series), also, +/- octave button, X/Y button, Pitch/Modulation button, sustain button and arpeggiator button. On the other hand, we have the Akai MPK mini MK2 which also offers 25 mini synth-action keys, 1 4-way thumbstick for dynamic pitch/modulation control, 8 MPC (MIDI Production Center) pads with note repetition, Arpeggiator buttons, octaves up/down, and 8 assignable control knobs.

The main advantage of the Korg nanoKEY Studio is its XY (Kaoss Series) pad control, as it is a two-dimensional controller that can be assigned to a plugin or parameter to be modified in real-time, i.e. while it is playing. Besides having a Bluetooth-MIDI connection, it can work without cables. And for the Akai MPK Mini Mk2 we can count as an advantage its sustain pedal input. If you want to experiment with the XY pad control the Korg nanoKEY Studio will be your choice, while if you want a MIDI controller with moderate functions, 25 keys and a sustain pedal the Akai will be your choice.

If you need a controller that can be used wirelessly and has moderate control functions, including an XY pad control, the Korg is for you. Otherwise, if you need an 88-key keyboard where you have a wider and faster register, the M-Audio Keystation 88 MKII is for you.

What is the best of these MIDI keyboards if I am a beginner on a budget?

While the answer to this question lies mostly in what specific need you have, for example, if you want to have a keyboard with the widest range of notes possible, or if you want to have as many control functions as possible, or perhaps a mix between the two, that is without leaving behind the different connections and software licenses that most MIDI controllers offer, we will give an objective opinion according to our experience in music production and thus also with the price demanded by the controllers, a kind of value for money.

In this post, we have cheap MIDI controllers and the one that stands out here is precisely the Korg nanoKEY Studio that offers 25 keys, pads and knobs, both assignable. Also a Touch-Pad X/Y (KAOSS-Series), the same ones found in the Kaossilator, which are touch synthesizers. It also has an integrated step recorder. It has a Bluetooth-MIDI connection and includes a synthesizer license. Excellent MIDI controller, if you can acquire it.

Some comments from people who come to the forum about this model:

Comment:

I have always been accustomed composing music on guitar, mostly acoustic, I frequently I play indie stone.

but I purchased this system to widen my musical spectrum and compose electronic music, along with to check the other music I compose.

Pros :

– Compact : Length its only a little larger than a keyboard; I
– Connectivity : it really is really quick for connecting, it installs in under a minute
– Versatility : as it has both secrets and pads, it really does offer depth to the music. For example I want to use the keys & pads simultaneously , it creates an extremely tones being rich because of this. One must also include which you replace the octaves of the secrets, so this gives added versatility
-Keys- The tips are extremely responsive, and also have a natural feel in their mind
– Software : It comes with Ableton live lite , which is good

Cons :
– Since it has 25 tips it could limit you if you should be into playing more classical things. But also for contemporary music it is sufficient.

Overall, I are finding the Oxygen 25 great for just what I needed.

Comment:

I make use of this keyboard for home recording. It is super light weight and portable, making it perfect for transport.
It comes with a lot of features and real settings in the keyboard itself for adjusting sounds. This offers a satisfying tactile sensation and permits for considerably faster and much more accurate modification of tone/EQ/effects, etc.

The accompanying software; Xpand! and Twist, are rather diverse and considerable in their sounds, perfect for someone starting.

that is truly a starting midi keyboard, together with price reflects that. However quality, develop, feel and features aren’t sacrificed for price, and all together this is certainly a tremendously item that is solid.
