The Keystage from KORG is the ultimate MIDI keyboard for live and studio applications. Its 49-key semi-weighted keyboard offers velocity response, channel and polyphonic aftertouch as well as MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) compatibility. Support for the MIDI 2.0 standard also enables the Keystage to communicate bi-directionally with software and hardware instruments. In this way, for example, when using MIDI 2.0-compatible instruments, their most important parameters are automatically mapped to the Keystage's eight knobs. In addition, the names of these parameters and their values are shown on the OLED displays below the respective controls and synchronised in real time. As the Keystage is downwards compatible, it can also be used to control classic MIDI devices that do not yet support the MIDI 2.0 standard. The Keystage is compatible with most common DAWs and also offers particularly deep integration with KORG Gadget and Ableton Live. Thanks to the internal USB audio interface, it can also be easily connected to a computer and a sound system without additional peripherals, which is invaluable when used live. Also on board are a sophisticated arpeggiator and an inspiring chord mode, which can be used to call up pre-defined chords via individual keys. The slim and lightweight housing makes it easy to transport, but at the same time provides the necessary stability for the often gruelling everyday life on stage. The scope of delivery includes a practical accessory tray that can be attached at two different angles and offers sufficient space for smart devices or a tablet. The included software package also includes the KORG Gadget Producer Bundle, wavestate native LE and Ableton Live 11 Lite.
