If you have your own mini-studio, you should know about this.

I just know a little bit about this Turn The Table Tuesday. It’s something Leo’s been using lately at the TWiT Cottage studio. It’s the Korg nanoKONTROL. Since I’m impressed with it because Leo’s impressed with it, and it looks really techie, I have to rely on the Korg website for an explanation of what the nanoKONTROL does. Here goes: “It’s The Most Expansive Array of Controls For Its Size – Period! The nanoKONTROL features a plethora of controllers to help you get the most control out of your software for the size and money. nanoKONTROL offers nine faders, nine knobs, 18 switches and a full transport section. For each of the four programmable scenes the nanoKONTROL offers, you can set the controllers any way you need them. That means that you can transmit a total of 168 different MIDI CC (Control Change) messages, as well as MIDI notes with the switches. The six transport buttons can each transmit either MIDI CC messages or MMC messages to control functions such as: start, stop, loop, or record on your DAW software. Imagine taking full control of your software – transport, a full track’s worth of faders, pans and mutes - or how about precise dedicated control over the many parameters of software synths, samplers or virtual drum machines. It’s all possible with the nanoKONTROL.” Okay, now back to me! Does a lot, no? Best of all, it retails for just $49.99. Even not totally understanding what it does, I just may need to get one just for the tech look! I think it would great at Gizneyland.
