The Doepfer PK88 was designed to combine with an expander or software synthesiser - especially for piano sound generators. The PK88 uses an 88 key high quality keyboard with patented real hammer mechanics.
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.
There is a high value on the conversion of the mechanical impact to the MIDI velocity so that it is as close as possible to the behaviour 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). At the rear panel you will find also the 2 MIDI outputs (parallel) and the power supply connector.
