      Hi,

      I am thinking about buying KORG NANO KONTROL STUDIO (http://www.korg.com/de/product...) to manipulate video in ISADORA (instead of the KORG NANO KONTROL 2).

      Does anybody use it? Can you recommend it? What do you like about it? Or don't like?

      I use ISADORA 2.5.3b05 on MAC OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and I am pretty new to ISADORA.

      Thanks a lot for your advice

      Anna (from Berlin)

        i've been thinking the same as you. I use a NanoKontrol2 all the time and am thinking of upgrading to the Studio to free up a USB port on my MBP.  I'd like to hear how stable the Bluetooth connection is and how long the batteries last.

          Personally I would always keep my controls connected with an USB, instead of using an bluetooth connection. But it will work with Isadora, since it will produce valid MIDI commands.

              hi. I'm using nanokontrol studio for one year and it's very good product. 

              Fader are really better than nanokontrol 2. The jog is really useful (for me). 

              I can't give you return about Bluetooth. I only use USB connexion. I'm not ready to cut physical connexion...

              Best regards. 

              Celio.

                these users' reviews (in german) say, that the bluetooth connection does not work very well

                    @anna_hd One of the reviews at Thomann mentions, that the controller starts flashing after a while of inactivity...

                      Couple of things... I got one and it worked well, but the bluetooth failed after a week or so. My dealer (Sweetwater) replaced it quickly and the new one seems to work fine. The irritating-to-me sleep mode can be remedied by using the computer-based editor to turn off LEDs in the global tab. Other than winky feeling keys, it works fine. Small, light with some unexplored features.  - John
