Korg Keystage 49 represents a comprehensive MIDI keyboard solution tailored to meet the needs of both producers and stage performers. Keystage, being the initial keyboard to incorporate the MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange, offers exceptional integration and control capabilities, enhancing the user's music production experience significantly.
Immerse yourself in an unparalleled tactile encounter through a novel 49 keybed configuration that showcases the capabilities of Polyphonic / Channel Aftertouch and MPE compatibility. The OLED screens of the system provide users with real-time visual feedback, which is complemented by the presence of a knob for prompt adjustments.
The historical issues associated with MIDI mapping have been resolved by Keystage, as it seamlessly synchronises with compatible software and effectively displays parameter names on its OLED screens.
Users are encouraged to utilise a comprehensive arpeggiator, a wide range of chord modes, and a distinctive strumming functionality in order to enhance their musical expression.
Enhance your music production capabilities by utilising official integrations for Ableton Live and Korg Gadget, as well as compatibility with a wide range of contemporary Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs). These integrations offer a fluid control interface and real-time adaptability, enabling users to elevate their music-making endeavours to a higher level.
Keystage is the ideal stage companion, sturdy yet portable, weighing only 4.2 kg for the 49-key model.
Included in the box is a full software bundle that encompasses the Korg Gadget Producer Bundle and Wavestate Native LE.
