Description

Featuring a set of 25 velocity-sensitive Natural Touch mini-keys, the microKEY Air-25 from Korg is a slim MIDI controller with tap tempo, arpeggiator, and sustain functions. If you wish, you can bus-power this unit via the USB port, but the microKEY Air also features Bluetooth capabilities, allowing you to connect wirelessly to Mac and iOS devices. Hooked up in such a fashion, the keyboard can last up to 30 hours on two AA batteries (alkaline are recommended).

This microKEY Air is armed with an expressive joystick that allows you to transmit pitch-bend, modulation, and control-change commands to enhance your MIDI performances. When the arpeggiator is on, the function of the joystick changes, enabling you to switch between the three different arpeggio types (up, trigger, and down), to control the duration of the arpeggiated notes, and to engage the latch function--thereby allowing you to sound an arpeggio even after you take your hand off the keyboard. A Sustain/Tap button allows you to apply sustain to your performances as a pedal would. However, when the arpeggiator is on, this control transmogrifies into a tap button that allows you to set the tempo of the arpeggio. The Key Transpose feature enables you to pitch the notes up or down in intervals of semitone steps, while octave-shift selectors let you extend the note range of the keyboard by 4 octaves in either direction.

The controller also includes five virtual instruments (Korg Legacy Collection, UVI Digital Synsations, AAS Ultra Analogue Session, AAS Strum Session, and AAS Lounge Lizard Session) and two apps (Korg Module Le for iPhone and Korg Module Le for iPad).

Features

Controller

  • USB-powered by your computer, iPad, or iPhone
  • Bluetooth compatibility with Mac and iOS devices
  • 25-key, velocity-sensitive Natural Touch mini-keyboard
  • Expressive joystick transmits pitch-bend, modulation and control-change commands
  • Sustain/Tap button can add sustain to notes as a sustain pedal would. When the arpeggiator is on, this becomes a tap button that allows you to set the tempo of the arpeggio by pressing this button several times at the desired interval
  • Octave Shift and Key Transpose features allow access to the full MIDI note range
  • Joystick and sustain/tap button command settings can be edited using the Korg Kontrol Editor from the Korg website

5 Virtual Instruments Included

  • UVI's Digital Synsations module provides sampled emulations of classic digital and hybrid synths from the early 1990s
  • Lounge Lizard Session, the sound module from Applied Acoustics Systems, provides expressive electric piano sounds
  • Applied Acoustics Systems' Strum Acoustic Session is a physical-modelling software synthesiser that lets you "play" acoustic guitar parts with the expressiveness of an acoustic instrument
  • Ultra Analogue Session, also by Applied Acoustics Systems, is an analogue-modelling synthesiser featuring analogue-style synth sounds
  • Korg Legacy Collection-M1 Le software synthesiser brings the sounds of the M1 music workstation to your computer

Korg KONTROL Editor
Korg KONTROL Editor MIDI-mapping software allows you to set the keyboard to respond to one of eight distinct velocity curves, or set a fixed velocity value. This is useful in customising the microKEY Air to your personal playing style
