Great little controller for the price
Overall Rating Posted on 22/10/2012 by Christopher McKendrick
I use this for recording and producing with Ableton Live, and it's perfect for the job. The controls are responsive and easy to assign, and the small form factor of this device means it will fit on even the most crowded desk, such as mine.
The NanoKontrol is also well-suited to assigning the channel strip controls to other effects and devices. For example, I played a laptop set and used the NanoKontrol to control beat repeaters, filters, stutterers, phasers, resamplers and more, and using it in this manner I was successfully able to layer and control multiple effects and produce a sound akin to Aphex Twin fighting a washing machine in a cement mixer. While it could do with a few more controls for this sort of usage, overall this product is a brilliant piece of kit, particularly for less than £50.
My only complaints are that it doesn't have a few more buttons and knobs, and that it doesn't feel quite as robust as I'd like: I doubt I could go all Paul Simonon of the Clash with my NanoKontrol and laptop at the end of my set, but then, that would just be silly.
