Say hello to the future - MIDI 2.0 technology
As one of the first keyboards to tap into the potential of MIDI 2.0, the Keystage 49 Polytouch Keyboard embodies the future of electronic music production. MIDI 2.0 introduces bidirectional communication and allows for two-way conversations between MIDI devices.

Compatibility with traditional MIDI DIN cables and support for MIDI 1.0 ensure that the Keystage keyboard can integrate with both new and existing devices, expanding your creative possibilities.

Seamlessly switch between transport and device control with dynamic mapping. The keyboard detects the active device in Ableton Live and automatically configures itself to ensure an uninterrupted performance. Both Ableton Live and Keystage are MPE-compatible, allowing for enhanced flexibility and creativity in your music. Plus, with the bundled Ableton Live 11 Lite software, you'll have the perfect beginner-friendly version to kickstart your music creation and performance journey.
Deep DAW integration and control
No matter which DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) you use, the Keystage 49 Polytouch Keyboard offers immediate and seamless plug-and-play compatibility. With support for popular DAWs such as Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools, and more, you'll have hands-on control over your most important playback and transport functions. The keyboard's integration with Korg Gadget and Ableton Live ensures a smooth workflow and efficient music production.
Portable and lightweight design
The Keystage 49 Polytouch Keyboard is not only a powerful MIDI controller but also a compact and lightweight companion for musicians on the go. Weighing just 4.2 kg/9.3lb, this keyboard offers a slim and portable design, making it easy to transport to gigs and music sessions. With its robust build, it can withstand the demands of live performances and travel. Additionally, the keyboard includes an expansion plate that can be adjusted at different angles, providing a stable surface for your laptop or tablet.
Powerful onboard arpeggiator with 32 preset chord sets
The Keystage 49 Polytouch Keyboard features an extraordinarily powerful arpeggiator that offers an impressive range of patterns and customization options. Take advantage of aftertouch-triggered ratchets, randomization, gating, and more to transform your arpeggios into something truly unique. Additionally, the keyboard comes with 32 preset chord sets that you can use out-of-the-box or customize to suit your preferences. With chords assignable to each note of an octave and various replay modes, including a strumming mode for natural guitar-like playing, you can explore endless creative possibilities.
