nanoKEY Fold: Total control, no compromises  

Despite its ultra-compact size, nanoKEY Fold offers a versatile and immersive sound experience thanks to a combination of powerful and creative functionalities.  

Silent Keyboard

The membrane keyboard is designed to offer comfortable action, with the right tactile feedback, while remaining completely silent, free of mechanical noise. Perfect for creating music anywhere, even on public transport, without disturbing those around you. Velocity is customizable with 13 different selectable settings.

Scale Guide

Choose one of the 15 available scales and let the nanoKEY Fold's LEDs guide you during performance. "Easy Scale" mode ensures correct intonation with every key pressed. Furthermore, by assigning a scale to a touch slider, you can play within the scale in new and creative ways.  

Chord Mode

Chords are automatically assigned to each key, based on the selected scale and key. Use it alone or combined with other modes to unleash your creativity!  

The Arpeggiator   

The built-in arpeggiator offers a wide range of arpeggios and rhythmic patterns, which can be modified intuitively thanks to the dedicated controls. 

Dual touch sliders for performance and control

The touch sliders for Pitch Bend and Modulation can be assigned to control specific MIDI Control Changes or to play notes within the selected scale. Just touch them to bring new sound dimensions to life, always in perfect key.  

Split Function  

Divide nanoKEY Fold into two parts by assigning different modes for left and right. You can play chord combinations, scales, and melodies, or even change programs (Program Change) and controls (Control Change).  

Unlimited Compatibility  

With USB-C connectivity and TRS-MIDI, the Korg nanoKEY Fold connects seamlessly to smartphones, tablets, or PCs for an immediate plug-and-play experience. Its TRS-MIDI output also allows connection to traditional hardware MIDI devices such as analog synthesizers or drum machines, further expanding creative possibilities.  Included are both the USB C cable and the traditional DIN format MIDI adapter.  

Instant Scene Recall  

Save the settings assigned to the controllers in one of the nanoKEY Fold's 15 scenes. Quickly change pre-prepared settings based on the software synthesizers and DAWs you use. Customize scenes with the free KORG KONTROL EDITOR app compatible with Windows and Mac.
