Computer Keyboard Sound Triggering Software

At the lowest price I could find for a controller keyboard, the Korg nanoKey2 is very impressive. It only has twenty-five keys, but the octave shift buttons allow you to change the octave up and down, giving reach to the full range of notes for electronic music. It has neat pitch bend, sustain, and vibrato buttons, too. It resembles a computer keyboard in the flatness and shape of the keys and is even smaller than a computer keyboard. It works great with my electronic music software. It even picks up musical accent (velocity); so the harder you press the keys, the louder it is, and the softer you press the keys, the quieter it is. The only thing that would make it better is if it had sounds of its own. However, it serves its purpose as a Musical Instrument Digital Interface controller well. It comes with a software code so you can download some electronic music programs from the Internet; so if you do not have music software already, you can get some to use with the nanoKey2. The cable that it comes with stays in the socket very tightly and it will not fall out so easily. This is good so it will not disconnect on accident. Overall, the Korg nanoKey2 is a good buy for being able to listen to, experiment with, and record sounds in audio software without having to use the computer mouse and computer keyboard all the time to program commands and test out sounds. It is light-weight and its slim-line design is very convenient and saves space. It would be good for use with a laptop on the go. I find it a nice addition to my desktop home studio. It is perfect in function for its size. Very neat.

I use this product live, triggering with 2 foot pedals whil I play my Nord keyboard. Numerous people have commented on the quality of the drums and how realistic they sound. This is my second Sr 16. I just bought it for a backup since my other unit is 10 years old, but still functioning flawlessly.

I am researcher who conducts many interviews. I really like that this recorder can just sit on a table and have multi-directional sound pick up. The quality is crisp and it is easy to transfer the tracks to a computer and edit them on the recorder or on the software included with the recorder. Though this devise is easy to use, it has many features and took a bit of time to learn to use. I did encounter one confusing feature. In 4 band stereo surround sound mode, it actually records 2 separate tracks as 2 files. I wanted them combined. I eventually figured out that I could merge them right on the recorder. I also figure that that is possible in the computer software included but I have yet to figure that out. Overall, a great device and I wouldn't have chosen it without the stellar customer service at B&H's store on 9th Avenue.

When setting up a sound booth, reducing background noise is good. So... Placing your computer (and its loud fan) at a distance helps, but it can/will diminish the function of your wireless mouse and keyboard. With these cables you can have it both ways - your computer can be distanced from your mic and the dongles to your mouse and keyboard can be kept close.

Great software to start with. Does not make the computer slow.

Awesome software and it came free with the purchase of a computer

This is the second Zagg Case/Keyboard I have owned. It’s the only keyboard that I have found that allows me to type as I would on a full sized computer keyboard.

This IOGEAR GCS110-4 4-Port KVMP switch is my first purcahse of this type of gear...should have bought one years ago. I had checked out one of the other brands, but the manufacturer's web-site had the same photo and description for two models, very confusing. I am using this switch with three computer, Win7, Win8.1 and a Linux rig. I keep the fourth port open for testing other computers, no need to connect one being tested to a separate keyboard and mouse setup. This switch allows me to easily switch between computers via keyboard shortcuts. I have a Logitech Keyboard and Mouse which share a single wireless USB dongle, plugging the dongle into the keyboard USB port of the monitor area of the switch allows me to use the keyboard and mouse on all computers. I did have to uninstall the Logitech software which allowed for custom keyboard layout (volume up/down, next track, etc.) as it seemed to conflict with the way the KVMP switch emulated Keyboard and Mouse Control...not an issue for me in this case. I am not a hard-core gamer, thus do not have a mouse with 92 buttons on it..more of a FPS and Flight Sim guy here. I like the fact that I can switch the keyboard/mouse, Vidoe and USB separately from the audio, that is I can have music playing on one computer, switch the Keyboard/Mouse, Video, and USB to another computer and still hear the music from the first computer. I have all my external drives and printers connected directly to the Win7 computer working as a server for all my data. I have a USB hub connected to the KVMP input which is accessed by whichever computer I am using for such things as my web-cam, joystick, multimedia card reader, and ID CAC Card Reader. I started taking IT classes and now I can easily do remote access, learned how to access Windows Shared Folders from the Linux box...and more, having the computers side by side with one control system is a Godsend. I would recommend this switch to anyone considering such a purchase.

I love this keyboard works great on a PC and great with the software

Great Printer and the software makes it much easier to use than the keyboard/printer models.
