Essential Information About the Keystage MIDI Master Keyboard

  • MIDI 2.0 Pioneer: truly utilizes the protocol with automatic parameter assignment in compatible software.
  • Immediate readability: OLED screens clearly display parameters... and even their names, allowing you to stay in control without breaking your flow.
  • Ultra-creative arpeggiator: varied patterns, advanced customization, ratchets via aftertouch, randomization, gating, and much more.
  • Designed for the stage: semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch, slim format, and a weight optimized for portability (depending on the 49 or 61-key version).

A New Generation of Controllers, Tailored for the MIDI 2.0 Era

The Keystage represents a major evolution: moving from the typical "generic" control of MIDI 1.0 to a more contextual and informed approach within software. While many master keyboards require manual mappings, templates, or lengthy configuration phases, the Keystage emphasizes a more direct workflow as soon as it is connected to a compatible environment. The result: less time spent setting up, more time composing, recording, and performing.

A Master Keyboard for Demanding Producers, Composers, and Performers

Whether you produce in a home studio, compose for media, or seek a reliable controller for live sets, the Keystage aims to deliver an experience focused on expressivity and speed of execution. Its semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch encourages nuanced interpretation (dynamics, pressure, intentions), while the OLED display helps you stay focused on the music rather than the computer interface.

It is especially suitable for musicians who switch between virtual instruments and synths, enjoy transforming a simple chord progression into a living pattern, or want to control their setup with minimal friction. In the studio or on stage, the goal is clear: improvise, capture, and develop ideas without interruption.

Key Features: Intelligent Control, OLED Screens, and Limitless Arpeggiator

MIDI 2.0: More "Expressive" and Fluid Control

The Keystage delivers a concrete promise: once connected to compatible software, it can automatically assign parameters and display their names on its OLED screens. This approach changes the daily experience: you no longer manipulate controls "blindly," but interact with identified parameters, speeding up creation and reducing errors, especially during recording or live situations.

OLED Screens: Keep Your Focus on Your Ear, Not Menus

The clarity of the "crystal-clear" OLED screens is designed to support your workflow: quickly find a parameter, check what you're controlling, and maintain a clear overview of the system status. For producers who juggle sound design, automation, and performance, this direct visual access becomes a real comfort boost.

Advanced Arpeggiator: From Accompaniment to Rhythmic Signature

The Keystage's arpeggiator does more than just play notes: it is designed as a composition and performance tool. You have access to a wide selection of patterns and, most importantly, advanced customization options to create organic movements, tight grooves, or more experimental textures.

Among the standout features, ratchets triggered by aftertouch allow you to densify a pattern in real time through pressure, without changing presets or releasing the keyboard. Add to that randomization for controlled variation, gating to sculpt note length and breathing, and you get a creative engine that far surpasses the standard arpeggiators found on many controllers.

Portability: Ready for Rehearsals, Tours, and Sessions

The Keystage is designed to move: slim design, robust construction, and a manageable weight that eases transport. Depending on the version, it weighs 4.2 kg for 49 keys and 5.0 kg for 61 keys, making it a logical choice for musicians who alternate between studio, stage, and travel, while maintaining a serious playing feel thanks to the semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch.
