The MX76 MIDI Master Keyboard features weighted piano touch keys and a wide 76 note keyboard for maximum playing versatility. The keyboard can be split into four key groups. Each key group can be assigned various MIDI parameters such as the MIDI channel, program change, velocity, wheel, etc. Other relevant parameters may be programmed as well including the key range, key split, key transpose, pitch bend memory, label, memo, etc. The entire parameter setups can be stored as a "library" bank, and 50 library banks can be stored in memory. You can select and prioritize the order of 20 libraries and store these in a "packet" memory for later recall during a live performance. The quick parameter call function keys and the large 40 character line LCD display allow quick viewing and editing of keyboard setups. In addition, your keyboard performance can be merged with incoming data on the MIDI IN allowing you to easily control external MIDI instruments.
