Composition of the package
Presentation
The instrument features 37 semi-weighted keys with aftertouch, accompanied by 16 pressure- and velocity-sensitive pads. The pitch bend and modulation wheels add nuance to performances. Four tactile 360° Q-Links, 38 backlit buttons and a 7-inch (177 mm) colour LED touchscreen provide access to settings. The built-in library brings together projects, sounds, kits and plug-ins. The unit supports Akai Pro and Native Instruments plugins, with up to 32 simultaneous instances and 16 stereo audio tracks. Fast loading, disk streaming and native Ableton Live import/export round off the handling of complex productions.
Connectivity includes 32 MIDI channels and 24 audio channels, with two line inputs and two main outputs via 6.35 mm TRS jacks, a 3.5 mm TRS mini-jack headphone output, two MIDI DIN In/Out sockets, four 3.5 mm TRS mini-jack CV/Gate outputs and three 6.35 mm TRS jack footswitch inputs. USB-A, USB-C, SD card, Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi round off the package. The supplied adaptor delivers 12 V, 3 A, centre-positive. The keyboard measures 582 × 315 × 85 mm and weighs 4.36 kg.
For transport, the Walkasse Eva Case Foam XL included in this bundle combines a 7 mm compression-moulded EVA shell with an outer shell made from 1680D ballistic nylon with a waterproof PU finish. Its pre-cut Pick n Pluck foam allows the interior space to be customised. The dual-density moulding absorbs shocks, featuring a removable 35 mm thick, 18 kg/m³ honeycomb foam lid and a removable 10 mm thick, 33 kg/m³ flat foam base. A concealed zip, a top handle with two straps and a removable padded shoulder strap complete this black case.
