help Korg microKEY2 49 FAQ
Does the Korg microKEY2 49 have full-size keys?
No. It has 49 velocity-sensitive Natural Touch mini-keys, so it is more compact than a full-size stage keyboard and is designed to send MIDI rather than make sound on its own.
Can I use the microKEY2 49 with Ableton Live?
Yes, it connects as a USB MIDI controller and can play software instruments in DAWs such as Ableton Live. The controller has no built-in sound engine, so the computer or tablet supplies the instrument.
Does the microKEY2 49 support aftertouch?
Korg's commonly listed specifications focus on velocity-sensitive keys and USB MIDI, not dedicated aftertouch. If aftertouch is essential for a synth patch, verify the exact unit's manual before buying.
How is the 49-key model different from the microKEY2 25?
The 49-key version gives two octaves more range than the 25-key model, which is useful for playing bass and chords without constant octave shifts. Both are USB MIDI controllers in the microKEY2 family.
