I still give them two stars, because when they are working they are my favorite controllers, perfect size for portability and comfort.

This is the perfect keyboard for my cubicle - I like both the size and the

This was super easy to set up and it is the perfect size to tote around when I am on the move.

Other than that, I like it, does what I need it to do, good size, fit on my computer desk, 37 keys.

Very small Midi Controller the size works better for space and just takes some getting used to for how to play to your caliber

This product is perfect for my needs--efficient space, easy octave displacement in Finale.

This is a good product that provides decent USB keyboard control for DAWs like Reason 7, Ableton Live 9, Reaper, and a host of other software suites

KORG, please fix your quality control and customer service, this should be a GREAT product!!Read more

I have to give this product only 2 stars because of Korg's very customer-unfriendly licensing of their M1 LE software and that so far the product just doesn't seem to work all that well with SONAR (my DAW of choice) or even CuBase.

The only redeeming value is the included software... there's a lot there to play with and they sound great!

I'm still keeping the 4 star review because while these USB issues are annoying they aren't a complete deal breaker and the usefulness of the device coupled with the great software instruments, for the price is still outstanding value

Considering the bundled software, I still think it's great value, but with the drop out in connection I would not recommend it for live stage use, only for a desktop studio when you're prepared to occasionally spend a few minutes fiddling with a USB cable.2nd UPDATE:Have had it for about a year now and while I still think the included software makes this a great value purchase, I have noted some problems using it on a mac:- device sometimes shuts down even when it's still connected to the mac via USB.- sometimes works through a USB hub, but other times, just won't power up unless connected to a computer USB

But if you are more focused on composing and want to record chords or melody lines into a software sequencer, this product certainly has great value

Audio interface is just a fancy way to say sound card, whether internal or external, and I can say that i have personally tried 4 different interfaces, 3 internal and 1 external, installed the updated drivers from the website, and have a beast of a daw with no latency issues (top notch 8 core cpu, 32 GB 2400MHZ ram, 500GB ssd).The keyboard is a nice size and decent build quality.

Better quality than the Alesis full sized keyboard, but you would expect that from Korg.

I was looking for a small-size good quality micro keyboard for use with Sonar/DAWs and this one works very well.

Pros - Good size for laptop use and portability, great quality "feel" and durability, must buy if your only interested in Midi support softwares

wheel- Simple and good looking (if that matters for you)- good sensitivityIt works perfect

I was looking for a small-size good quality micro keyboard for use with Sonar/DAWs and this one works very well.

- After reimaging my laptop, I was able to have the controller work fine with my USB 3.0 ports

The feel in the keys as well as the effects are of high quality for the price.

or I'll assign the mod wheel to various parameters in Massive to get a good feel for how the instrument will change

Because of this, I had to get an IRIG Compact Midi keyboard, and the feel of the IRIG is quite disappointing compared to the feel of the Korg Micro keyboard - very disappointing, in fact

I don't know if I learned to like the feel, or if perhaps the keyboard just needed a bit of "breaking in"

They have a really nice feel for being such a small product

For someone who wanted a simple midi controller without all the frills, this thing is fantastic

so the thing doesn't work

pads).The other nice thing about this keyboard is that when you use the octave up and down buttons, the lights actually change color from green to orange to red, showing how far from "center" you are shifted.

Intermittent MIDI -- mostly not working -- with Windows 7

It's a shame since this is a pretty handy midi keyboard with a lot of octaves in a small footprint

I have been looking for a decent midi controller for a while

Pros - Good size for laptop use and portability, great quality "feel" and durability, must buy if your only interested in Midi support softwares

so I don't have to fiddle with the octaves while playing, but it is a great keyboard controller for smaller spaces.

I have been looking for a decent midi controller for a while

Works as advertised, and for someone who needs a controller for documenting musical ideas instead of archival recordings, this small and effective controller does the trick

I guess I wouldn't recommend this controller

Very nice little USB controller, thin profile and thin shape fits easily on my desk giving me enough room for mouse and keyboard and was recognized immediately by Mac

I started off giving this product 5 stars, reduced it to 4 stars in spite of the USB quirks, because of the wonderful software instruments included

The included software is great, if you are old enough to remember the korg m1 you'll love

I'm still keeping the 4 star review because while these USB issues are annoying they aren't a complete deal breaker and the usefulness of the device coupled with the great software instruments, for the price is still outstanding value

Another great software with multiple superb sounding virtual instruments is FLstudio

It includes 5 classic Korg synths which work as standalone apps or as VST plugins for most any decent DAW software

It's keys are too small and the sounds are off key, delayed and simply bad

This Korg looks snazzy, feels great while playing (the velocity sensitive keys are incredible for the price), and produces really nice sound

Another great software with multiple superb sounding virtual instruments is FLstudio

just like real piano keys-Generates a good sound, depending on the software you

I am able to get good sounds from the keyboard using my computer speakers and Mixcraft 5.

This microkey61 controller could not withstand gentle use sitting on my composition desk where it remained since un-boxing

When used with MIDI editing software, it is very useful and powerful.

So if you think your keyboard is DOA, the problem may be that all your midi channels are used up

This is not really the fault of the keyboard, that is an issue with the 500mA limit of the USB 2.0 port of the computer AND the Korg website states that the microKEY 37/61 uses "Less than 500mA" (the 25 key < 100mA

The keys are sensitive enough to register dynamics, though a "real" keyboardist might find them risibly insufficient

Sometimes if I don't press a key down hard enough, it won't register the note.

:D The keys may feel a bit small, and a bit toy- like (to a piano player)

The keys are enough, any fewer keys might not be enough.

The extra keys are very helpful when constructing harmonies and really opens up a lot more options for making music
