Description
The Keith McMillen Instruments K-Board Pro 4 - 48-Key USB/MIDI MPE Keyboard Controller combines the format of a traditional keyboard with the company's proprietary Smart Fabric technology to provide a traditional playing feel and an expanded range of expressive possibilities. Designed for use with cutting-edge software synths or classic MIDI-capable hardware, it features Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression (MPE) technology, which allows musicians and producers to play expressively in real time with the nuances expected from an acoustic instrument. Each key on the K-Board Pro 4 polyphonically senses finger movements in three dimensions and sends attack velocity, release velocity, continuous pressure, horizontal position, and vertical position data. The data can be used to tweak any synthesis parameter in real time, including vibrato, timbre, and more. To keep you playing without interrupting the creative flow, four touch-sensitive sliders can be mapped to provide rapid access to any parameter, such as octave, vibrato depth, and more. With a durable aluminum construction, resilient silicone keys, and no moving parts, the K-Board Pro 4 is ideals for musicians working on the road. USB-powered and class-compliant, the controller is compatible with Mac OS X, Windows, iOS, Android devices, and MIDI-capable hardware.Key Features Four-octave (48 keys) MIDI keyboard controller with Smart Fabric sensor technology under each keyMultidimensional Polyphonic Expression (MPE) allows you to play expressively in real time with the nuances of an acoustic instrumentEach key independently outputs attack velocity, release velocity, continuous pressure, horizontal position, and vertical position dataFour touch-sensitive sliders can be mapped to any parameterUSB-powered and class-compliant to ensure both portability and compatibility with Mac OS X, Windows, iOS, Android devices, and MIDI-capable hardwareDurable aluminum construction with no moving parts
