The LMK series of MIDI Masterkeyboards were established in the musician scene during the last few years. All keyboards are equipped with 88 keys hammer mechanics and black flight case. All of the LMK+ keyboards and the PK88 use the same 88 keys piano-type keyboard with real hammer mechanics. LMK4+ is a high level MIDI Masterkeyboard for all applications where extraordinary masterkeyboard functions are required.
