MicroKEY

MicroKEY is a compact MIDI keyboard controller manufactured by Korg. Designed for musicians and producers who prioritize portability and space-saving solutions, MicroKEY offers a range of features in a small form factor. It connects to computers or iOS devices via USB, allowing for control of virtual instruments, digital audio workstations (DAWs), and other MIDI-compatible software.

The MicroKEY series typically includes models with varying key counts, such as 25, 37, 49, or 61 keys. These keys are often described as Korg's "Natural Touch" mini keys, designed to offer a comfortable playing experience despite their reduced size. Many MicroKEY models also feature a pitch bend wheel and a modulation wheel, providing essential expressive controls. Some versions include additional inputs for pedals, such as sustain or expression pedals.

A notable aspect of the MicroKEY is its low power consumption, enabling it to be powered directly from the USB connection without the need for an external power adapter. This contributes to its suitability for mobile setups and live performance environments. Korg often bundles their MicroKEY controllers with music software, including virtual instruments and DAW lite versions, to provide users with a ready-to-go music production package. The product is recognized for its straightforward operation and integration capabilities within various music creation workflows.
