Keystage is the ultimate MIDI keyboard solution for producers
and stage performers. As the first keyboard to adopt the MIDI 2.0
Property Exchange, Keystage puts unparalleled integration and
control at your fingertips, taking your music-making experience to
a whole new level.
Featuring a new keybed design with outstanding touch response,
Polyphonic / Channel Aftertouch and MPE (MIDI Polyphonic
Expression) compatibility, Keystage offers hands-on control and
instant visual feedback through its parameter-dedicated OLED
screens. It features a powerful arpeggiator, an array of chord
modes, an integrated audio interface, and official integration with
Ableton Live.
Whether producing in the studio or performing live, Keystage offers
an unparalleled integrated and distraction-free experience to keep
your musical creativity flowing uninterrupted.
Say goodbye to time-consuming MIDI mapping, guesswork, and
uncaptured inspiration. When the muse strikes, you need to capture
your musical ideas quickly and precisely - Keystage allows you to
do just that.
Keystage is at the forefront of keyboard innovation, being the
first to truly tap into the potential of MIDI 2.0. Simply connect
the keyboard to compatible software, and Keystage automatically
assigns parameters and even displays their names on its
crystal-clear OLED screens. Each screen is paired with a dedicated
knob for real-time adjustments, meaning you always see the
parameters assigned and their exact values, empowering you to make
informed decisions and act on your musical instincts without
breaking your creative stride.
Experience the magic of immediate plug-and-play connectivity with
Keystage. It's compatible with most DAWs, and provides unmatched
official integration with Ableton Live and Korg Gadget.
Keystage empowers musicians to reach new heights of musical
expression.
A newly developed semi-weighted keybed with excellent touch and
response provides an immersive playing experience. Keystage goes
beyond feel alone, with support for both channel and polyphonic
Aftertouch, and MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression). This versatility
lets you manipulate a vast array of sources, transmitting nuanced
subtleties that add an extra layer of richness to your music and
live performances.
Keystage's arpeggiator is extraordinarily powerful and offers
features that go well beyond what any other MIDI Keyboard out there
has to offer. The vast selection of patterns is complemented with
unparalleled customisation options including aftertouch-trigged
ratchets, randomization, gating, and more.
In addition, Keystage's chord mode benefits from a suite of
ready-to-use inspiring 32 chord sets. These can be used
out-of-the-box, or fully customized and saved into any of the extra
32 user set slots. Because each set can have one chord assigned to
each chromatic note of an octave, you can be sure you won't run out
of chords! Chords can even be replayed in different ways, including
a strumming mode for realistic guitar-like playing.
Keystage allows you to express your musical self effortlessly
thanks to a seamless and streamlined workflow. Gone are the days of
dealing with cumbersome and frustrating controllers. Keystage
ensures a clean and efficient musical experience.
Keystage offers official integration with Ableton Live, one of
the most popular DAWs in the industry, putting both transport and
device control at your fingertips. As the go-to choice for live
performance musicians, Live’s innovative dual Session/Arrangement
view, smooth clip triggering, looping, and powerful production
tools cater to countless musical styles.
Keystage offers deep integration with Ableton Live, providing
seamless control over Live's transport functions and device
control.
Device control allows Keystage to detect the device currently
active in Live, and then automatically maps to the first 8
parameters! When switching devices, Keystage dynamically
reconfigures itself in real time for an uninterrupted and fluid
experience which keeps you in the zone.
Both Ableton Live and Keystage are MPE-compatible, enabling
enhanced flexibility and creative possibilities in your music.
Live's powerful Drift synthesizer (available with version 11.3)
leverages MPE to offer even more expressive capabilities.
Additionally, Keystage comes bundled with Ableton Live 11 Lite as
part of its software suite. Ableton Live 11 Lite is a
beginner-friendly version of Live, providing many of the core
features to help you kickstart your journey in music creation and
performance.
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.
Keystage 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 Keystage 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 Keystage,
but also to hardware devices!
Since MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange is compatible with MIDI DIN
cables, Keystage 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.
It can still communicate using MIDI 1.0 with devices that do not
support MIDI 2.0.

Digitalpiano.com offers, together with our suppliers, an assembly package.
An assembly package contains:
This means that you do not need to consider anything yourself, but rather simply sit back and enjoy your new instrument. We assembly the instrument for you before the delivery and our carriers will place it where you wish.
You pay both for the montage and delivery, but also for carrying it up to a floor. This also applies if it is the ground level in a house. The price is automatically calculated at checkout and starts at 1.200,- DKK. It is important that you indicate if you want the instrument to be placed on the bottom floor of an ordinary house when you are in the checkout, otherwise an extra invoice might be sent out for this service afterwards.
