General
For some, the Korg MicroKey 37 was a little too small to match their requirements. Luckily, Korg has remedied that problem with the introduction of the MicroKey 61. The MicroKey 61 USB MIDI keyboard offers a considerable number of keys, but still leaves you with plenty of room for your other equipment, thanks to its relatively compact construction. As such, it is ideal for small-scale studios that require a wide octave range but have only limited space at their disposal.
Characteristics of the MicroKey 61
The Korg MicroKey 61 is equipped with 61 keys and can easily be connected to your computer or iPad via USB. The MIDI keyboard also has a number of additional USB connectors that enable you to connect another MIDI controller, for instance a device with drum pads or faders. Naturally, the MicroKey 61 is equipped with the familiar pitch and modulation wheels too.
Software-related benefits of the MicroKey 61 keyboard
In order to set the MicroKey entirely to your preferences, a free copy of Korg's Kontrol software can be downloaded via the Korg website, which enables you to adjust the velocity curves, the range of the modulation and pitch wheels, the velocity-sensitivity of the keys and other settings. Additionally, the accessory Korg Legacy Collection Special Bundle provides you with a selection of legendary software synthesizers: the MS20, the Polysix, the Mono/Poly, the M1 and the Wavestation are all milestones in the history of electronic music. Their characteristic sounds, which are prominently featured in numerous pop hits, are all at your disposal with this MicroKey 61.
