The Medeli MK401 the device that shows that innovation and kindness to your wallet can go hand in hand. With this keyboard you can do things that are not obvious for this price range. This Medeli distinguishes itself by the sampler, DJ styles and the XY-pad. The MK401 is meant for a younger group of musicians and is designed to experiment, create and of course make the best music with.
One of the things that makes this keyboard so special is the XY-pad. The XY-pad allows you to drastically change the sound with one small movement. This allows you to distort your sound to exactly the sound you want. The Medeli MK401 has multiple presets on board with which you can control different parameters.

The MK401 is equipped with a sampler and a microphone directly above the screen. With this you can record a sample (of a voice for instance). This sample will automatically bend the keyboard and expand over the whole keyboard. This way playing for example a background choir on your instrument becomes a piece of cake. In the beginning this is mostly funny, but after a little practice you can use this tool for very nice things and wonderful musical creativity.
