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.
