Can gig with korg micoKEY

I arrived at my gig, a concert for about 2,000 and was told that I didn"t have any gear. I"m a 2 keyboard man so I told the crew to find anything they can for a piano and I happened to have my Korg microKEY packed in my bag ( for rehearsals). Hooked it up to my computer, propped it on top of the piano keyboard and away we went. All was easy sailing because the keyboard has an amazing feel to it and no glitch with my MacPRO. Now I pack it everywhere I go and am very comfortable using it for all my synth needs. Oh yes, when I fly it fits in my suitcase.

Nice ketboard

It's very useful as a Bluetooth keyboard and it is just what I needed for IOS applications. I'm a tech head and absolutely love it.

Good Controller

I just received this controller on Friday. So far I have not had any issues with it. It connects easily with my IPad after installing the Korg Ble-Midi app. I have not had the opportunity as of yet to connect to my windows based machine, so I can not say how that works. I had seen a few reviews about the latency of this board while connected via blue tooth to the IOS system, but I can say that I have not really noticed it. Granted, I have not sat and timed anything, but I hit a key and I instantly hear the sound, so in my opinion, the latency is pretty low. As such, for a very portable and transportable board, this meets my expectations. On a side note, I needed a case to protect and carry this with me. No one makes a case for boards of this side. After a lot of research, I found this case... SKB Foot Controller Soft Case Item ID: SKBSC2709. It is about 0.6 inches to short for the controller, and the foam is really stiff, but with some work I was able to get the board in and the foam over time has formed itself to the controller for a nice tight fit. I hope this helps someone.
