Introducing the K-Series of affordable USB-MIDI controller keyboards that combine full-sized keys and essential controls in a streamlined, compact design.

Available in 25-key, 49-key, and 61-key versions, the Korg K-series also include the "M1 Le," a software recreation of the massively successful M1 Music Workstation so you can start enjoying your new controller from the day you bring it home.

Main Features

  • Choose the model to suit your needs: 25, 49, or 61 keys. Four velocity curves are provided, including a fixed velocity setting which is ideal for mimicking vintage mono synthesizers, organs and more.
  • A total of nine controllers are intuitively arranged in their sleek and stylish design.
  • The unique "ClickPoint" can be used as an X/Y joystick (with a Hold function) or as a single-button mouse to control software applications.
  • Pitch Bend and Mod wheels allow expressive playing.
  • Bundled package includes the "M1 Le," a software recreation of the massively successful M1 Music Workstation. This version can be upgraded to the powerful expanded version included in the complete KORG Legacy Collection - DIGITAL EDITION; available for a special "Preferred Owner" price.
  • Included editor software provides an uncluttered, graphical interface that lets you create, save, customize and load controller assignment "scenes."
  • Template scene data for popular sequencers and software synthesizers is included.
  • USB bus-power or optional AC adapter operation.
  • Mac OSX and Windows XP are supported.
