A 13-key pedal keyboard for control of MIDI synthesizers, expander modules, electronic pianos, and other MIDI equipments. Perfect for playing organ-style deep bass notes with the EX-8000, EX-800, POLY80011 or DW-8000, this pedal keyboard offers more options for multikeyboard ensemble performance. As an example, you can play seven voices on a DW-8000 while playing one voice using the MPK-130. Or use this pedal keyboard with a MIDI drum machine such as the MR-16 or EX-8000 programmed for synthesized drum sounds to create many different percussive effects.

In the POLY mode you could play 13 tuned percussion sounds. Range is selectable (by foot switch) over three octaves (LM-H) from C1 to C4. MIDI transmit channel is selectable (1 - 16). Both POLY and MONO modes are available; the MONO mode gives priority to the higher note played. As insurance against MIDI cables becoming unplugged, the MPK-130 sends an active sensing signal every 200ms. If no signal is received, the synth is automatically silenced. Whether your main instrument is keyboard, guitar, bass or drums, this MIDI pedal keyboard makes it easy to develop your sound in fresh directions.
