Korg USB 25 Key Midi Controller

Korg taktile-25

The taktile is designed for simplicity; connect it to your computer via a single USB cable and the power turns on. It supports the major DAW/sequencer software (*), and its easy setup lets you start creating music right away. Controllers can be freely assigned, making the taktile a USB/MIDI controller that will meet all demands, from controlling a mixer to editing your software synthesizers.

The perfect match for your laptop

Ask any laptop musician at Sweetwater, and they'll agree that it's rare to find one single controller that includes the same extensive array of built-in functions that Korg taktile-25 keyboard offers. For example, Korg loaded the taktile-25 with an X-Y pad that offers you on-the-fly sound manipulation that goes way beyond what you can do with a mod and pitch wheel alone. But with the press of a button, you can also use it as a trackpad to control your mouse pointer on your computer. The ribbon controller below it can also be used for left and right mouse clicks, meaning you truly never have to touch your laptop when you're working with the taktile-25.

Produce and perform with full DAW control

Ready to command your DAW, the taktile-25 boasts dedicated transport controls including buttons for stop, play, record, loop, rewind, fast forward, and add markers. That cool X-Y pad that's so handy when you're tweaking synth sounds in real time also doubles as a track pad, so you have even less of a reason to take your hands off of your taktile-25. A set of eight assignable sliders and buttons complete the picture, and thanks to the high-contrast OEL display, finding your way around the taktile-25's functions is a piece of cake.

Even more creative performance options with Chord Scale, Touch Scale, and Arpeggiator

If you're performing live, you'll won't believe only need one piece of gear to do everything the taktile-25 does. It velocity-sensitive pads can trigger individual notes, or use the Chord Scale feature to trigger chords based on the scale you've selected. The Touch Scale function lets you generate melodies just by swiping the touch pad, in the scale and key you specify - just like with Korg's Kaossilator series of synthesizers. And you get fifty different rhythm patterns with the built-in arpeggiator, ready to play your favorite software or hardware synthesizers.
