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? As 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. Keystage 61 utilizes MIDI-CI Property Exchange messages to communicate with other devices. It retrieves information such as which CC (Control Change) parameters should be linked and the appropriate names to display for each parameter. This means that Keystage 61 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 plug-ins, such as the ones included with Keystage 61, but also to hardware devices. Since MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange is compatible with MIDI DIN cables, Keystage 61 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 Keystage 61: it can still communicate using MIDI 1.0 with devices that do not support MIDI 2.0. Take your performance on the road Keystage 61 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 Keystage 61 to your computer, tablet or smartphone and directly link to the sound system without the need for additional gear that takes up valuable space. The semi-weighted AT keybed not only provides exceptional playability but Keystage 61 is also surprisingly lightweight, weighing in at just 11.02 lb. Its slim and portable design allows for easy transportation, while its robust build ensures durability during long gigs and travel. Keystage 61 also offers flexible customization options. You can modify settings directly through the menu or conveniently adjust them using Korg Kontrol software on your computer. Configurable expansion plate Keystage 61 includes a dedicated expansion plate that can be attached at two different angles, making it ideal for tablets and other devices. You even have the flexibility to adjust the placement of the plates in two different positions (61-key model only), providing a stable and solid surface to place your laptop. With Keystage 61 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, Keystage 61 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. Additionally, Keystage 61 boasts a dedicated expansion plate that ensures a perfect fit and optimal visibility, making it the ultimate all-in-one solution for modern music production on the go. Korg Gadget Producer Bundle included Keystage 61 comes bundled with an incredible software set that provides all the tools needed to take your music production to the next level. Korg Gadget is the best all-in-one music production software and plug-in collection; the intuitive user interface provides over 40 small synthesizers and drum machines called Gadgets that you can freely combine for music production. Keystage 61 includes the Korg Gadget Producer Bundle: this is a version equipped with most of the features and Gadgets that Korg Gadget 2 software offers. The deep integration between Korg Gadget and Keystage 61 makes it possible for Gadget's parameters to be synced on Keystage automatically, as well as having extended transport control that will make using Gadget even easier and faster. Korg Wavestate Native LE included Explore the full potential of Keystage 61 by pushing its capabilities to the limits with Wavestate Native LE, which offers numerous patches utilizing polyphonic and channel aftertouch, all fully compatible with MIDI 2.0 (currently only supported in the standalone version). Wavestate Native LE is a partially limited version of Wavestate Native, the fully-compatible software counterpart to the hardware Korg Wavestate synthesizer. Wavestate Native LE is virtually the same as Wavestate Native, except only one plug-in instance can be active at a time in a given DAW project. Additionally, Wavestate LE can be upgraded to the standard version of Wavestate native for an additional charge (sold separately).
