The CME U-Key Mobiletone keyboard has ultra-thin, full-action semi-weighted keys with a built-in, 64-polyphony high-quality mobile phone sound module, and an internal high-fidelity speaker driven by a digital amplifier. It contains several MIDI songs and accompaniments in different styles, including loop variations and chord changes produced by professional musicians that are initiated by the U-Key's unique PadStyle. With the U-Key keyboard, you can create an even larger bank of MIDI songs and styles to work with by downloading ready-to-go samples via its USB connection. It's also the first mobiltone keyboard that has built-in, muiti-ethnic scales of the world, making it easy to play everything from Arabic to Asian music.
The CME U-Key comes with more than 20 user-defined controllers, including a joystick, trigger pads, an encoder for data entry, and pedals. All controllers are fully-programmable and each function can be easily set up and saved for later loading by pressing certain keys. USB powered and compatible with both Windows XP and Mac OSX, it's a great solution for composing on laptops.
If you're new to the world of keyboard-based MIDI controllers, The CME U-Key has two features perfect for helping you get acquainted with your new device. The first is the U-CTRL button which instinctively communicates between the controller and music software to automatically load templates and presets for you. The other is a game mode which tests your performance and supplies tips to assist in advancing your skill levels.
Learn, create, and explore the world of music, literally. With the U-Key Mobiletone, the choice is yours.
