The nanoKEY Fold is an extremely portable MIDI keyboard that is equipped with numerous practical features and can be folded to the size of a smartphone for transport. This means it can be taken anywhere and is always there when inspiration strikes. The flat membrane keyboard allows precise note entry thanks to the push buttons used and can be played almost silently. Two touch sliders allow you to control pitch and modulation, but can also be assigned any other CCs or even scales, which can then be played with just one finger using a swipe movement. Two different scale modes are also available for the keyboard itself: In standard mode, LEDs that light up red mark the keys that belong to the currently selected scale. In Easy Scale mode, on the other hand, only the notes that actually occur in the selected scale are output, regardless of which key is pressed. The chord mode allows you to play complete chords using individual keys, and the powerful arpeggiator brings movement to the performance. As the nanoKEY Fold also has a split function, all these modes can also be combined with each other, so that, for example, the left half of the keyboard triggers chords or arpeggios while a matching melody is played on the right half. Of course, programme or control changes can also be output via the individual keys, which further expands the potential areas of application. All settings can be saved in up to 15 scenes in the device and recalled at lightning speed. The free KORG KONTROL EDITOR software for Mac and PC is available for programming the scenes. The nanoKEY Fold can be easily connected to a computer, smartphone or tablet via the USB-C interface and used immediately with a true plug & play experience. In addition, the standard MIDI interface (via the supplied mini-jack DIN adapter) allows operation with classic MIDI hardware such as synthesizers or drum machines.

And with twice the DSP power for style insertion compared to the previous model, new and familiar styles, all equipped with the latest voices and effects, ensure a superior musical experience.SUPER ARTICULATION+Instruments often produce different sounds depending on how the notes are played. For example, stringed instruments can be bowed or plucked. Until now, you had to switch between the voices on your keyboard to access these different sounds. With the new Super Articulation Plus Voices (S.Art+), you can now instantly switch between articulations at the touch of a button.LIVE CONTROLS & ASSIGNABLE KEYSDuring a performance, quick access to important functions is crucial. With 8 assignable panel buttons and 6 shortcuts on the home screen, you can instantly access your favourite functions with a single touch. Assign functions such as sound filtering or style dynamics control to the Live Control knobs to edit them in real time.CHORD LOOPERThe new panel buttons give you quick access to record and play back chord progressions in real time. Whether you want to keep your left hand free to play an entire piano, build up sections of a song or practise a difficult piece of music, the Chord Looper allows you to store up to 8 chord progressions in each bank for easy access during your performance. You can create an unlimited number of banks with your own chord progressions or choose from a range of built-in presets.CROSSFADE PORTAMENTOPortamento is a musical technique that smooths out pitch changes and creates a smooth transition between notes. The crossfade portamento function in the PSR-SX provides a smooth transition between the notes you play, adding expressive dynamics and emotional depth to your performance.PLAYLISTPlaylists are the best way to organise your registration memory banks into convenient playlists that you can instantly recall during your performance. With the updated user interface, playlist entries can be sorted from A to Z or from Z to A. You can jump through playlist records alphabetically and filter by a specific term in the records.

Following in the footsteps of the miniKORG 700S, the miniKORG 700Sm is a tribute to the legendary synthesiser of the 1970s. It adopts all the functions and features of the newly released miniKORG 700 FS, which was only available in a strictly limited edition. By using a compact slim-key keyboard, the size could be reduced to 86% of the original. With a weight of just 5.8 kg, the miniKORG 700Sm is also significantly lighter and therefore much more transportable than the miniKORG 700FS. The synthesiser combines the charm of the original with modern features such as a 37-key aftertouch keyboard, a joystick for pitch bending, a real spring reverb and a memory for your own sounds. The two oscillators make it possible to create powerful, distinctive bass and lead sounds in the style of its predecessor.As with the original, most of the controls are located below the keyboard, which makes operation intuitive. A special highlight is the iconic "Traveller Controller", which can create impressive wah-wah and other sound effects with its unique filter control.The miniKORG 700FS is also equipped with an arpeggiator, a USB port and MIDI IN and CV/Gate interfaces. The model is supplied with a soft case to protect the synthesiser during transport.
The multi/poly from KORG draws inspiration from the legendary Mono/Poly analogue synthesizer from the 1980s, which was known for its big sound and experimental features thanks to its 4 oscillators, and transfers this concept into the modern age with the help of sophisticated modelling technology. It is the first instrument ever to make use of the latest generation of KORG analogue modelling, which, in addition to the detailed reproduction of classic oscillators and filters, also includes complete voice boards with the interaction of qualitatively different components, envelope generators and even portamento behaviour for the first time. In this way, the multi/poly creates sounds that seem almost alive and have the typical analogue timbre. The available classic, digital and waveshaper oscillators, which can of course be freely combined with each other, offer a true playground for sound designers and synthesiser fans. Within a sound programme, 4 oscillators, a noise generator with its own filter and saturation as well as a ring modulator are available. In combination with the dual filter, the flexible cross-modulation known from the Mono/Poly, four loopable DAHDSR envelopes, five LFOs and six modulation processors, there are no limits to the imagination when creating sounds. Up to four such sound programmes can be created within a Performance as Layer. Split or Layer Rotate sounds to create particularly complex timbres. (Layer Rotate is a function inspired by the classic mono/poly that switches between different sound programmes each time a button is pressed in round robin style) To animate these sounds, the Motion Sequencing 2.0 function offers several independent sequencer tracks for timing, pitch, shape and four other parameters, each of which can be recorded as individual steps or in real time. As if that wasn't enough, the Kaoss Physics function provides additional, unique modulation options based on the physical model of a virtual ball that moves on a plane based on previously defined parameters and can be controlled or triggered using the integrated X/Y touchpad. This ball generates eight different modulation signals at any given time, which can affect almost any sound-shaping parameter. This creates complex modulations that are never exactly repeated and can be used particularly effectively in a live context. Three blocks with studio-quality effects as well as a master reverb and a master EQ round off the sounds accordingly. When switching between different sound programmes, the Smooth Sound Transition familiar from the KORG flagship workstations ensures natural-sounding transitions without tearing off the sounds or effects. For the creation of new sounds, an inspiring random function is available, which randomises all or only certain sound-shaping parameters within a previously defined framework at the touch of a button, which can lead to completely new timbres or useful starting points for further sound experiments. The new, semi-weighted keyboard with 37 velocity-sensitive keys provides a pleasant playing feel, while the elegant look with wooden elements on the sides and a blue and black control panel is a lovingly realised reminiscence of the classic mono/poly. For particularly convenient programming of the multi/poly, free editor/librarian software is also available for Mac and PC. And so that the instrument can also be transported in style, it is supplied with a matching blue soft case with the multi/poly logo.
