DOEPFER MIDI Keyboard PK88

PK88 was designed especially for the requirements of the "mobile pianist" who needs a high class and easy to carry keyboard but is able to dispense with extended MIDI features. First of all the PK88 was made to combine it with a piano expander offered by some manufaturers (e.g. Kurzweil, Emu, Yamaha, Roland, Akai). The PK88 uses a 88 keys keyboard with real hammer mechanics (same type of keyboard as used in our MIDI master keyboards of the LMK-plus series). The case used is a rugged and easy to carry black flightcase with handle and removable lid. The dimensions are about 135 x 27 x 11 cm, the weight is about 20 kg.

The MIDI features are limited to what the user of such a keyboard really needs: PK88 transmits MIDI note events with velocity on MIDI channel 1. The velocity resolution is 127 steps. We set a high value on the conversion of the mechanical impact to the MIDI velocity so that it is as close as possible to the bevaviour of a real piano - within the limited possibilities of MIDI. At the rear panel a double foot switch can be connected to obtain the piano features sustain (MIDI controller #64) and soft pedal (MIDI controller #67). E.g. our VFP2 can be used. At the rear panel you will find also the 2 MIDI outputs (parallel) and the power supply connector.

The prices below include the power supply (switcheable between 230 and 115V). The prices do not include the optional double foot switch.  Please order separately if required VFP2.
