About the Korg microKEY air 49 – Key Bluetooth and USB MIDI Controller

Control, unplugged
Too many wires in your studio? Are they
literally holding you back from the freedom of different configurations
and setups? KORG, creators of the best-selling microKEY series and the
next-gen microKEY2 series can help you break free with the new microKEY
Air series of wireless MIDI controllers!

Connect wirelessly to iPad, iPhone or Mac
The microKEY Air supports Bluetooth Smart “Apple Bluetooth Low Energy
MIDI”. You can easily connect wirelessly to iPad/iPhone music apps such
as KORG Gadget, KORG Module and GarageBand, as well as any MIDI-capable
music production software on your Mac. Painstaking tuning of the
Bluetooth capabilities means high stability and low latency, no strings –
or wires – attached.

Lasts a month between battery changes
With an average of one hour of use per day, the batteries allow
approximately one month of operation. And best of all, the microKEY Air
runs on just two AA batteries.

To USB or not to USB?
microKEY Air can also be connected via a traditional USB cable. Since
the microKEY is USB bus-powered, you only need a single USB cable to
connect it to Mac or Windows. There’s no need to install a driver; just
connect it to your computer and start playing. The second generation
newly supports connection to iPad and iPhone. Add an Apple Lightning –
USB camera adaptor and one USB cable and your setup is complete,
allowing you to access apps such as KORG Gadget, KORG Module and
GarageBand.

Compact and playable Natural Touch Mini Keyboard
KORG’s Natural Touch mini keyboard has been carefully designed to
assure playability while staying compact and makes it easy to play
chords or rapid phrases. Choose between 25, 37, 49 or 61-key
configurations to suit your specific playing style and space/travel
requirements.

With your iPhone and the new microKEY, you can enjoy great sound anywhere
KORG Module and the microKEY are the best possible combination for a
mobile performance environment. With the new microKEY which supports a
damper or the microKEY Air which provides a wireless connection via
Bluetooth MIDI, your iPhone instantly transforms into a high-quality
sound module. In your room, in a practice studio, when riding in a
moving vehicle or outdoors, it’s easy to set up and immerse yourself in a
superb playing experience wherever you are.

Connect a pedal and enjoy full control functionality
The 37, 49 and 61-key models provide an assignable switch jack for
connecting a damper pedal. The 25-key model provides a sustain button
that implements the damper function. On all models, you can use the
octave buttons in conjunction with the key transpose function to play
MIDI’s entire range of notes. The 37, 49 and 61-key models provide pitch
bend and modulation wheels. The 25-key model provides a joystick that
can also control pitch bend and modulation, as well as an arpeggiator
function, giving you full control in spite of this model’s space-saving
dimensions and providing a wealth of performance expression.

Lavish array of powerful music software bundled free of charge
The microKEY comes with a serious collection of powerful music software
titles including popular special editions of KORG Gadget and KORG
Module plus the KORG Legacy Collection offering five classic KORG
instruments as plug-ins. With microKEY Air you won’t have to purchase
additional software; you can start creating music right away. The sounds
and functions are expanded if you use “Apps for iPad/iPhone” with
microKEY Air.

Dedicated editor software “KORG KONTROL Editor” is provided
By using the dedicated KORG KONTROL Editor for Mac/Windows you can
customize the keyboard to your preferences, including fine adjustments
to the velocity curve.
