I am wondering if there is a better alternative to the Korg Nano Kontrol. Would love to hear what people on this forum use. Thanks.
Honestly I don't think you're going to get anything better than the nanoKontrol2 especially for that price point. If you're willing to spend a little bit more you could get the Akai MIDIMix. It has 2 more lanes of knobs but this makes the unit slightly bigger than the nanoKontrol2 as well. If price or form factor isn't an issue then I guess the MIDIMix is a good alternative. Personally I love my nanoKontrol2.I am wondering if there is a better alternative to the Korg Nano Kontrol.
That was the best way for me too. Page for faders, plus keyboard layout for keyswitching. All on a phone that fits neatly at one end of my main keyboard.I have a nanoKontrol and I replaced it with the TouchOSC app where I could design my own faders (with a much longer run). If you don't mind using a touchscreen, it's the most cost effective and most portable solution I found.

Perhaps a good alternative but what a cost !!!How about the Palette Aluminum Starter Control Surface Kit? Has anyone tried this. I saw it in a Christian Hanson video. Looks interesting to me. It has longer lanes so should be more precise. It costs about $250 to have two faders, but that's all I need. The Nano Kontrol is OK, but for me it does not provide enough detail as the faders are very small...
I looked into using this system for Cubase but there isn't as yet any specific software integration for it and the software work round looked a bit complex (well for me anyway).How about the Palette Aluminum Starter Control Surface Kit?

I’m personally using the faderfox UC4. A bit more pricey, but tiny, solid and compact.
