The original microKORG is also available. Specs: microKORG XL/microKORG 37-key • 8 voices (4 for the microKORG) • 128 patches • In: 1 x XLR, 2 x 1/4" • Out: 2 x 1/4" • MIDI I/O • USB
PS60Affordable, Easy-to-use Synth That’s Designed for Live Performance
The Korg PS60 is an awesome pick for any keyboard or synth player wanting to perform. This baby is loaded with 61 keys, premium Korg sounds, and an onslaught of effects — and it’s underpinned with a very easy-to-use interface. The six centrally located knobs instantly put you in touch with the six essential sound categories: Piano, Electric Piano, Organ, Strings, Brass, and Synth. And there are more than 440 preset sounds inside, so you can launch into famous tones without any tweaking. But if tweaking is your thing, you’ll want to use the nine knobs on the right of the PS60 to control effects, which include modulation, delay, reverb, and EQ. All in all, the bright display and the backlit design make this synth the perfect choice for the stage. And since you can use the editor software as a plug-in, the PS60 is great in the studio too!Specs: 61-key • 120 voices (60 in double mode) • 512 patches • 49MB ROM • Out: 2 x 1/4", headphones • MIDI I/O • USB • 10.14 lbs.
microSAMPLERVersatile Sampler for Stage Performance
This sampler is made to be played! With the compact and affordable Korg microSAMPLER, you’ve got a ton of performance control under the hood. On top of being able to trigger samples, you can also play samples at different pitches — even resample the result. There are a looper sequencer and internal effects, plus there’s an intuitive user interface that’s meant for onstage performance. The Korg microSAMPLER offers over 120 minutes of CD-quality sampling. Specs: 37-key • 14 voices • 8 banks • In: 1 x XLR, 2 x 1/4" • Out: 2 x 1/4", phones • MIDI I/O • USB
monotronAnalog Synthesis in the Palm of Your Hand!
Analog synths are cool — really cool, actually. They have a sound and a feel that’s unmistakable. But unless you’re a hard-core synth fanatic, you likely don’t need the power and tweakability (not to mention the cost) of a full-sized, pure-blood analog synth. That’s what makes Korg’s monotron so awesome! It’s a real analog synth that can fi t in your hand. But its compact size doesn’t mean the monotron skimps on features. Despite the small footprint, the monotron uses the same highly acclaimed VCF circuit that’s found on Korg’s classic MS-20 semi-modular synthesizer. And it can even fi lter incoming audio!Specs: 16-note ribbon • 1 voice • In: 1 x 1/8" • Out: 1 x 1/8" • 3.35 oz.

MP-201 Multi-PedalControl Synths with Your Feet
The MP-201 Multi-Pedal controller puts signal and MIDI control at your feet! This rugged unit gives you four footswitches and an “accelerator-pedal-style” controller pedal with an incredible range of parameter and signal control. In fact, the MP-201 features four analog control outputs plus MIDI and USB connectivity. You can program outputs individually for serious control. You also get several modes of operation from this controller, to bring the most out of your synths, Moogerfooger pedals, or any other USB or MIDI gear! The latest OS V2.0 adds even more sought-after features for CV control.
VX-351Go Moog Modular Without Busting the Bank
When you pair the VX-351 control voltage expander with your Moog Voyager synthesizer, you’ll enjoy extensive modular synthesis capability — at an unbelievably affordable price! You can use standard patch cords to route a control signal to another synth, to a Moogerfooger effects pedal, or back into the Voyager’s CV inputs, for an even bigger world of modulation possibilities. Onboard are 19 control-voltage outputs and two gate outputs, generated by the Voyager’s analog synthesizer circuits. The VX-351 also contains two 4-way mult outputs, for distributing a single CV to multiple destinations. To add control voltage inputs to your Moog rackmount Voyager synthesizer, choose the VX-352.
This theremin puts the sound of a classic synth quite literally in the palms of your hands! Now, you can apply the amazing performance properties of the theremin to your synths and effects! What makes the classic theremin such a left-fi eld-cool instrument? For starters, you don’t actually touch it to operate it; you move your hands in the space around the antennas to change volume and pitch. The sounds it produces (think ’50s science fi ction fi lms) are equally distinctive.
The Etherwave Plus gives you the same unique control confi guration and tonality as the classic models, but this impressive instrument adds a new twist! Built-in CV outputs actually let you control a range of functions on your synths and Moog effects — theremin style! It’s a great way to reimagine your synth setup. The Etherwave gives you the same performance as the Etherwave Plus, minus the CV outputs.

Used in connection with one or more Moogerfooger analog effects modules, a Little Phatty, or a Minimoog Voyager, the CP-251 adds loads of power and versatility, giving you an affordable way to expand your sound-shaping abilities. So, go ahead and get your tweak on with the CP-251.

Prophet ’08 PE Your First-class Ticket to Great-playing Analog Synth Bliss
A new version of a killer synth! With the Dave Smith Instruments Prophet ’08 PE (Potentiometer Edition), you get an evolution of a classic synth, with even more “vintage-style” control. That’s because this one sports front-panel pots instead of the rotary controllers on the original Prophet ’08 — very cool. The Prophet 5 shook up music production as we know it — it’s simply analog synth vibe personifi ed. You’ll fi nd all that tasty analog tone, with a new level of control. Sporting a 5-octave keyboard, it looks similar to what you’d want the newest Prophet to look like: a black chassis, wood end caps, white graphics, and slim black knobs with silver caps. The pitch and mod wheels are black, and they’re mounted on the panel. Users of the original Prophet will certainly be in familiar territory, but that’s no reason to think of the Prophet ’08 as a revamped reissue. Important features such as velocity and aftertouch are now in your arsenal, as are an arpeggiator, split and layer capabilities, and a gated step sequencer. Curtis analog lowpass fi lters are incorporated, as are analog VCAs. You also get two analog oscillators (DCOs) per voice, with selectable sawtooth, triangle, saw/triangle mix, and pulse waves; four LFOs; and hard sync . The Prophet ’08 PE Module is
also available. Specs: Prophet ’08 (61-key)/Prophet ’08 PE Module • 8 voices • 256 patches • Out: 4 x TS • Pedal: 2 x TS
Poly Evolver Keyboard PEAnalog/Digital Synthesizer with Sequencer
This one’s got vibe! The Poly Evolver Keyboard PE employs Curtis analog fi lters and analog VCAs. Add two voltage-controlled lowpass fi lters, and you’ve got a host of analog sound shaping to add to its digital electronics! A 5-octave semi-weighted keyboard has velocity and mono aftertouch sensitivity. Seventy-eight knobs — 60 of which are now pots — and 59 switches provide loads of control! The sequencer can build everything from simple loops to complex compositions, and two 1/4" inputs let you connect instruments . Specs: 61-key • 4 voices • 512 patches • In: 2 x TS • Out: 10 x TS • Pedal: 3 x TS • 23 lbs.
Mopho KeyboardOld-school Analog in a Futuristic Keyboard
Looking for a stage-ready classic analog synth that won’t break the bank? Check out the Mopho Keyboard by Dave Smith Instruments! It gives you 32 semi-weighted velocity-sensitive keys as well as Dave Smith’s killer Mopho (MOnoPHOnic) module, for a small-format synth with a huge analog sound. Just as the original Mopho sound module does, the Mopho Keyboard gives you an analog playground that includes a pair of oscillators, a classic Curtis fi lter (switchable 2- or 4-pole), a set of analog VCAs, three envelope generators, and two sub-octave generators. You can easily create blistering leads and crushing basses, or you can grab the audio from another source and generate mind-blowing effects! If you’re just getting into analog synthesis, the Mopho Keyboard is a perfect place to start. It gives you all of the basic old-school analog controls at an unbeatable price. Its array of parameter control switches includes encoders that are assignable per program for optimum performance control and excellent hands-on analog feel. A desktop version is also available. Specs: Mopho Keyboard (32-key)/Mopho 1 voice • 384 patches • In: 1 x 1/4" Out: 2 x 1/4", phones • MIDI I/O/T
Evolver KeyboardMonophonic Mayhem!
The Evolver hybrid analog/digital synth will have purists and players in true heaven! With its knob-per-function user interface, this keyboard is powerful, deep, and easy to use. The presets are amazing, plus it can even process external signals. Acoustic drums can be transformed into huge, thick techno rhythms and electric guitar can go in directions you can’t imagine. Specs: 37-key • monophonic • 512 patches • In: 2 x TS • Out 2 x TS • 13 lbs.
TetraThe Unbelievably Affordable Polyphonic Analog Synth
Heads up, analog synth fanatics: the Tetra is about to shake up your world! This way-cool, way-portable synthesizer from Dave Smith Instruments gives you that unmistakable 100% analog sound, with — get this — four voices. You’ve got individual outputs for each voice for uber-fl exibility. And if you want to go radical, then you can use the Tetra’s “Combo Mode” to combine four programs into unison or poly “super patches.” Cooler yet, you can even polychain Tetras or a Prophet ’08 for up to 16 voices of polyphony. All in all, the compact Tetra is your source for sweet, all-analog synthesized madness — and it’s got USB for serious recording/performance workfl ow integration. It’s like having four Mophos (above) built into one, and at seriously thumbs-up value.

Stage Pianos & Organs
V-PianoYou’ve Never Heard a Digital Instrument Sound or Feel This Realistic
A breakthrough in digital piano technology! Rather than rely on samples (which offer a static sound and require recordings at specifi c velocities to respond to your playing), the V-Piano has a “living” piano core that lets each note respond, evolve, and decay naturally. You can create a variety of brand-new piano sounds by changing the string material, retuning or detuning the strings, or adjusting the hardness of the hammers — and you can change the sound of all the keys or just a sweet section, all on the fl y. As you play, three controller pedals can control the parameters you want, making this an incredibly expressive instrument for onstage performances.

Privia PX-3Take This Lightweight Instrument to the Stage!
When you’re a performer, the weight of your instrument matters. An 80-lb. keyboard may sound phenomenal when you play it. But when you realize you need three people to help you move it — every time you need to move it — you’ll be wishing you chose a lightweight, unbelievable-sounding instrument, such as the Casio Privia PX-3. At only 23.6 lbs., the Privia PX-3 is light enough to carry by yourself. But just because it’s lightweight, don’t think you’re compromising here. The Privia PX-3 features a fantastic set of sounds, so you’ll have everything you need when you gig: acoustic pianos, electric pianos, and a variety of must-have instrument sounds.
More than that, the Privia PX-3 features an “Ivory Touch” 88-note scaled hammer-action keyboard, so it plays beautifully — just like the acoustic piano you started out playing. But unlike your original acoustic piano, the Privia PX-3 is extremely portable, and it’s decked out with 64 effects for getting creative with your sounds. The effects can be applied to two tones, and you can assign two buttons to control the effects.
When it’s time to outfi t your setup with a new keyboard that’s not just inspiring but also gig ready, the Casio Privia PX-3 deserves your attention. It’s lightweight, it sounds amazing, and it’s priced to fi t nicely into any gigging keyboardist’s budget.Specs: 88-key • 128 voices

When you need even more power for your gig, choose either the KB4, which offers 75 watts via a 15" speaker, or the KB5, which offers 150 watts via two 10" speakers. Both provide a stereo effects loop, a ground lift, a master level, an XLR balanced
stereo line-out, defeatable speaker protection, and the capability to drive an external speaker. Outstanding sound and the versatility you want!Specs: KB1 combo • 2-ch • 20W • 1 x 8" KB2 combo • 3-ch • 40W • 1 x 10" KB3 combo • 3-ch • 60W • 1 x 12" KB4 combo • 75W • 1 x 15" KB5 combo • 150W • 2 x 12"
