The U-Key is the ideal keyboard if you need a lightweight keyboard that doesn't take up much space while offering built in sounds and speakers. By using ultra thin keys, the U-Key offers 49 keys in a very small package. It connects directly to your computer via USB and is self powered and class-compliant (which means there are no drivers to install - just plug and play!) To help you get the most out of your software, the U-Key includes a programmable joystick, 8 trigger pads, 8 knob controllers and an endless encoder/knob for data entry. It also includes extensive MIDI control functions, including transport control.
Interestingly, the U-Key has managed to keep the cost down but still include sounds by using a 64 note polyphony high quality mobile phone sound module! It includes some on board MIDI songs and accompaniments, but it also includes the ability to download new songs and styles via the USB connection (similar to downloading ring-tones to your cell phone, but easier!)
With built in speakers, headphone jack, line out and MIDI I/O the U-Key is a versatile keyboard ideally suited to laptop users and people who don't want a massive keyboard taking up their desk space.
