Korg Microkey 61 MK2

The microKEY Range: Korg's Idea of a Compact Keyboard Without Compromising Playability

With the microKEY series, Korg aimed to solve a classic problem in home studios and mobile production: maintaining a credible playing feel while reducing footprint. The concept is based on mini keys with a natural touch, designed to remain "playable" even on demanding parts. The range comes in several formats (25, 37, 49, and 61 keys) to adapt the instrument to the desk, backpack, or a minimalist stage rig.

This second generation takes the "studio anywhere" approach further by integrating the ability to work easily with mobile devices. The result: a compact MIDI controller that remains relevant both for controlling virtual instruments on a computer and triggering sounds and sequences on a tablet or smartphone.

Who It's For and What It's For: A Mobile Master Keyboard for Composing, Recording, and Controlling Your Virtual Instruments

The Korg microKEY 61 is aimed at producers, beatmakers, film composers, live musicians, and content creators who want a lightweight USB master keyboard that's quick to set up. Its long format (61 keys) facilitates two-handed arrangements, splits, and chord playing, while remaining significantly more compact than a standard keyboard.

In the home studio, it becomes a simple and effective command center to control a software synth, program bass lines, record pads, or drive an orchestral library. On the go, it allows for a real playing range without carrying a bulky keyboard: ideal for composing on the move, sessions at collaborators' places, or a creative corner in a limited space.
