Technical details of the Midiplus EK490+ keyboard

The EK490+ has 49 velocity-sensitive keys with semi-weighted mechanics. This special weighting provides a balanced playing feel that is closer to that of a real piano than conventional lightweight keys - ideal for dynamic playing and precise control.

The internal GM sound engine provides 128 high-quality sounds - from piano to strings to synth sounds. With 64 integrated rhythms and 20 demo songs, the EK490+ is also ideally equipped for spontaneous jam sessions or practice purposes. A maximum polyphony of 64 voices ensures that even complex passages can be played without sound interruptions.

An intuitive LCD display provides clear information on the active sounds, functions and settings at all times. Function buttons provide direct access to important parameters, while a pitch bend wheel and volume control offer additional creative control.

The power supply is flexible: the device can be operated via an external 9V mains adapter, USB or six C batteries - ideal for mobile use. Thanks to USB-MIDI compatibility, the EK490+ can be easily connected to Windows and macOS systems and integrated into any standard DAW or software solution.

The connections include MIDI in/out via USB, a sustain pedal input, a headphone output, an aux output and the classic USB port. This makes the EK490+ ideal for studio, stage or practice applications.

The Midiplus EK490+ is the ideal solution for anyone looking for a compact keyboard with real piano characteristics without having to sacrifice integrated sounds and flexibility.

The combination of a general MIDI sound engine, extensive rhythms and functions as well as a wide range of connection options makes the EK490+ a versatile tool for teaching, music production, live performance or relaxed music-making at home.
