The Beauty of Creation

Touch-sensitivity

Beneath the surface of each key is a capacitive sensor that recognizes the location and movement of your finger on each key.

Finger placement and motion on the key surface can be configured for pitch bend, aftertouch or any other continuous controller (MIDI CC) through the mPIANO app on your tablet or computer. 

Even the length of the touch-sensitive area on the keys can be defined and customized in up to four keyboard split zones.

Multi-dimensional control

Unique high-resolution sensors below each key measure the speed of its vertical movement, thus offering novel ways of performing on the keyboard.

As opposed to conventional keyboards, where the sound is triggered when the key hits the bottom, mPIANO offers the option to play notes by just slightly touching the keys.

This unique feature allows you to play more expressively by choosing how far you press a key. You can even play faster because the sound is triggered earlier!

As another example, you may assign key pressure to volume – the further a key is pressed, the louder your strings get. Assigning key pressure to aftertouch or any other CC value opens a world of options for shaping and morphing sounds.

Four keyboard split zones

Play different instruments in different zones, or assign special sounds to a zone as narrow as one key.

Through a variety of custom settings you can tailor each zone to respond uniquely to your playing.

Three continuous pedals

The pedals of mPIANO and mBOARD are set up with soft, sostenuto and sustain functions by default. You can customize your pedals and assign other MIDI controls via the app.

The backside of the pedal unit features audio (XLR and headphones out, stereo 3.5 mm in), MIDI (USB) and Ethernet connectors.

MPE compatible

mPIANO is one of the few MIDI controllers to incorporate Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression (MPE) for modifying the sound of each note separately.
