MK-425C USB
Compact
and highly portable with
the extreme control you need
|
 |
The MK-425C is the compact
Evolution Keyboard featuring 8 assignable
rotary knobs, 10 assignable buttons and
25 full-size touch sensitive keys, giving
computer music enthusiasts the extreme hands-on
control needed for their software and hardware.
Even the pitch bend and modulation wheels
are both fully assignable, as is the foot
switch socket. Perfect for punch in/out
recording or activating record without having
to take your hands off the keyboard. All
in all, this puts a total of 21 assignable
controllers at your fingertips.
A unique controller mute
function mutes the output of all controllers
allowing you to position them before tweaking,
so no more annoying jumping filters or
levels during your performance. Plus, it's
great for killing tracks/effects then slamming
them back in.
Ten pre-configured presets
are included with the MK-425C, making it
instantly usable with the most popular plug-ins,
virtual instruments and host applications.
Creating your own custom made setups is
quick and easy. All of the 21 real-time
controllers can be programmed with the numerical
keypad which, combined with the backlit
LCD display, makes it a breeze. Each controller
can also be setup to transmit on separate
MIDI channels and complete setups can be
stored in any of the 10 memory locations
for recalling at any time.
In addition to standard
controller numbers, the MK-425C has RPN/NRPN
and pre-programmed Sys-Ex messages, for
real-time access to parameters beyond immediate
reach on products such as SoundBlaster,
XG and GM compatible soundcards. The Sys-Ex
dump command allows the entire content of
the memory to be sent from the keyboard
and a librarian program for PC users is
included for saving, editing and sharing
keyboard setups.
The MK-425C connects to
a PC or Mac using the included USB cable.
The keyboard is even powered via USB, or
alternatively with an optional power supply.
As with all Evolution controllers, the MK-425C
is Class compliant, so no drivers are required
when using Windows XP or Mac OSX.
The conventional MIDI output
on the back of the keyboard has been included
for operation with a traditional MIDI gear
or non-USB computer setups. Used in USB
mode, the MIDI output acts as a USB to MIDI
output interface.
