The future of music is now: MIDI 2.0 MIDI 2.0 is one of the most exciting developments in electronic music production in decades. But what exactly is it? The MIDI Association explains on its official website, MIDI 2.0 means two-way MIDI conversations. Until now, MIDI 1.0 messages went in one direction: from a transmitter to a receiver. MIDI 2.0 is bi-directional and changes MIDI from a monologue to a dialogue. Thanks to new MIDI-CI (Capability Inquiry) messages, MIDI 2.0 devices can talk to each other, and auto-configure themselves to work together. Key stage utilizes MIDI-CI Property Exchange messages to communicate with other devices. It retrieves information such as which Control Change (CC) parameters should be linked and the appropriate names to display for each parameter. This means that Key stage can talk with a wide range of MIDI 2.0 compatible devices and exchange information in both directions. This exciting feature extends not only to software plugins, such as the ones included with Key stage, but also to hardware devices! Since MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange is compatible with MIDI DIN cables, Key stage opens up opportunities for seamless integration with existing devices, paving the way for new and exciting possibilities in the horizon. Furthermore, backwards compatibility is not an issue with Key stage. It can still communicate using MIDI 1.0 with devices that do not support MIDI 2.0. Take your performance on the road Key stage is not just an incredibly powerful MIDI controller packed with features; it is the ultimate master keyboard you've always desired to control your live rig. Equipped with direct stereo output, simply connect Key stage to your computer, tablet or smart phone and directly link to the sound system without the need for additional gear that takes up valuable space. The semi-weighted AT key bed not only provides exceptional playability but Key stage is also surprisingly lightweight, weighing in at just 4.2 kg/9.3lb for the 49 key version and 5.0 kg/11.02lbs for the 61 key version. Its slim and portable design allows for easy transportation, while its robust build ensures durability during long gigs and travel. Key stage also offers flexible customization options. You can modify settings directly through the menu or conveniently adjust them using the Korg control software on your computer. Key stage includes a dedicated expansion plate that can be attached at two different angles, making it ideal for tablets and other devices. On the 61-key model, you have the flexibility to adjust the placement of the plates in two different positions, providing a stable and solid surface to place your laptop. With Key stage, you have everything you need to make the stage your own! Full size control and integrated audio interface for your portable devices Thanks to its plug-and-play-ready USB input, Key stage not only transmits MIDI data to your tablet or smartphone but also receives audio from your favorite music apps via its internal audio interface and sends it to your speakers through its direct stereo output.
