Express your musical self
Keystage enables musicians to reach new heights of musical expression. A newly developed semi-weighted keyboard with superior feel and response provides an immersive playing experience. Keystage goes beyond basic keyboard functions by supporting both channel and polyphonic aftertouch and MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression). This versatility allows you to manipulate a wide range of sources and transmit subtle nuances that add another layer of richness to your music and live performances. The Arpeggiator Keystage is extremely powerful and offers features that far exceed the capabilities of any other MIDI keyboard on the market. A huge selection of patterns is complemented by unparalleled customization options, including aftertouch-triggered ratchets, randomization, gating and more. In addition, Keystage' s chord mode benefits from a ready-to-use set of 32 inspirational chord sets. These can be used out of the box or fully customized and stored in one of the other 32 user set slots. Because each set can have one chord assigned to each chromatic note of the octave, you can be sure you won't run out of chords! Chords can even be played back in a variety of ways, including a strumming mode for realistic guitar-like playing.
Official Ableton Live integration
Keystage offers official integration with Ableton Live, one of the most popular DAWs on the market, allowing you to control more than just the DAW's transport functions. As the choice for musicians playing live, Live offers innovative dual Session/Arrangement views, smooth clip triggering, looping, and powerful production tools to suit countless musical styles. Device control allows Keystage to detect the instruments that are currently active in Live, and then automatically maps the first 8 parameters! As you switch devices, Keystage dynamically reconfigures in real-time, ensuring an uninterrupted and seamless experience that keeps you in your workflow.Both Ableton Live and Keystage are MPE compatible, allowing for greater flexibility and creative options in your music. The powerful Drift synthesizer in Live (available in version 11.3) uses MPE to offer even more expressive possibilities. Keystage also comes with Ableton Live 11 Lite, a version suitable for beginners that provides many basic features to help you start your journey in music creation.
