The original nano family of compact USB-MIDI controllers for laptop-based music making. Sakamaki handled product planning for nanoKEY, nanoPAD and nanoKONTROL.

nanoKEY supplies 25 keys, while nanoPAD provides twelve trigger pads for playing notes, chords or percussion. The separate devices offer physical input suited to different musical tasks.

nanoKONTROL includes nine faders, nine knobs, eighteen switches and transport controls. All three draw power from USB and control software instruments or a DAW, bringing dedicated performance controls to a small workspace.
