I have a fairly small desk setup that is also my office workspace so unfortunately I can’t really fit a proper-sized midi controller (Tokyo living). I am using the Arturia Keystep, which is about perfect for my desk and have a Korg Nano Kontrol 2 for sliders. The problem is that I occasionally find myself needing another octave or two for key switches, etc.
I have an Arturia Beatstep Pro, which I have experimented with using for this purpose, but it’s a bit big and I’m not a huge fan of the pads. I was thinking about maybe adding a second small Bluetooth keyboard, such as the Korg NanoKeys Studio or MicroKeys Air (25), and was wondering if anyone is using this kind of dual keyboard setup and how you find it. While I am envisioning mostly having it for when I need key switches, it would be handy if I could use it for adding a couple of octaves to the Keystep for playing as well (for instance to access drums in upper or lower registers). The idea being just using the Keystep mostly and breaking out the mini Bluetooth keyboard when the need arises.
