KORG microKEY USB Powered Keyboard

The perfect choice for controlling your Computer Music Software - in production or in performance. The microKEY is slim, lightweight, USB powered and compatible with all of your computer music software; use it to create your own compact and customized command center. The microKEY features 37 velocity-sensing mini keys, using the same Natural Touch keybed found on the Korg microKORG XL and microSTATION. This keybed has been designed with careful attention to the touch and feel. The proportions of the black keys and White "waterfall" keys have been adjusted for optimal playability, and the key touch makes it easy to play chords, glissandos, and rapid-fire phrases. The microKEY accurately conveys the dynamics of your performance to any software plug in. The Octave Shift buttons extend the range of the microKEY by four octaves in either direction - up or down. The Key Transpose allows you to play in any key instantly. Used together, these two features provide access to the entire MIDI note range. For adding tasty expression to your performance, the microKEY is also equipped with both a Pitch Bend wheel and a Modulation wheel. Your new microKEY serves double-duty as a USB hub. The two USB ports (Type A) allow you to expand your custom control center by adding on a Korg nanoPAD or nanoKONTROL - or any other USB device!-Specifications: -Keyboard: 37 mini keys; Natural Touch, Velocity-sensing keybed-Controllers: Pitch bend wheel, Modulation wheel; Octave Up, Octave Down buttons-Connections: USB: Type A (x 2); Type B (x1)-USB Bus power-Power Consumption: < 500mA-Accessories: USB cable-System Requirements: -Mac: Supported Computer: Apple Macintosh with USB port, satisfying the operating requirements of Mac OS X or Apple Macintosh with Intel or PowerPC supported; Supported OS: Mac OS X10.4 or later; -Windows: Supported Computer: Computer with USB port, satisfying the operating requirements of Windows XP/ Vista/7 (Intel USB chipset recommended); Supported OS: Windows XP SP3 (32
