Sometimes it can feel good to get away from the studio. It's unfortunate that ideas will happen at these times. I do have a laptop, loaded up with my music software, but without a nice small portable controller, I don't have much desire to get the ideas down. The QWERTY keyboard MIDI driver is a neat idea, but too much of a pain to work with. But now it looks like Korg has answered my prayers:



The only one that I feel that I'll really need is the nanoKEY (the keyboard one, duh). If I'm on my laptop somewhere and need to get some drums down, the keyboard will work just fine for that, and no need to mess with the nanoKONTROL either(the mixer looking one). From what I hear, these are going to be reasonably priced as well. I saw some European prices on some other site, all around £49, which puts it at around $96 here now, at the current exchange rate...wow that's really sad. Still though I think it's worth it.
