General

Sure, building a high-end keyboard with a four-figure price tag isn't easy, but building a budget-friendly model that strikes the perfect balance between functionality and affordability is no small feat either. Fortunately, Medeli are experts at designing bang-for-your-buck gear and present the MK401: a text-book example of a keyboard loaded with features and functions that stretch beyond anyone's expectations considering the price tag. First of all, besides various traditional styles, the keyboard features a number of more upbeat, DJ-focussed styles; a basic sampler for recording vocal sounds that are automatically divided across the keyboard so any can be used immediately, and an actual XY-pad for filter control.

The Medeli MK401: There's More

It's probably worth mentioning that the MK401 isn't exclusively designed with DJs in mind. Classic ballroom styles have been loaded in, as have hundreds of traditional piano, guitar, wind and string instrument sounds. In addition, thanks to the 64-voice polyphony, there's ample room to stack notes while the built-in speakers make sure you can swing or sing along without holding back. To finish, you naturally get a headphone jack which doubles as a stereo line output and, when needed, the Medeli MK401 can run on six AA batteries for use anywhere!
