Main Features
T
he eKeys MIDI controller keyboard provides 37 velocity-sensitive* keys, and is powered
through the USB port on your computer—no external power supply needed. Your eKeys
keyboard has the following features:
<
rear-mounted buttons to shift the octave range of the keyboard up or down in one-
octave steps
<
4 soft, non-slip rubber feet
<
2 removable clear acrylic riser legs to lift the keyboard about 2-inches
* “Velocity sensitive” means that the keyboard responds to how hard you strike the
keys. Using a piano sound as an example, pressing the keys lightly will usually result
in a quieter and darker sound from your software. Striking the keys with more force
will generally produce a louder and brighter sound.
