cre8audio NiftyKEYZ

NiftyKEYZ combines a Eurorack-format modular synthesizer chassis packed with expressive tools with a clever, modern MIDI controller keyboard perfect for assembling mono and poly synthesizers.

NiftyKEYZ offers keyboard and MIDI control via 4 CV and gate outputs. The flexible MIDI implementation allows each of the 4 CV/Gate outputs to be used either as part of a fully patchable polyphonic instrument, or each individually monophonic. Additionally, each voice can be distributed to multiple MIDI zones of the keyboard.

NiftyKEYZ also has a wealth of powerful performance features that provide additional expressive possibilities and flexibility.

These include a multimode arpeggiator, a clock-synchronized multimode LFO, aftertouch, velocity, sustain/latch mode, internal clock, expression out, and much more.

Additionally, a clock reset output jack is provided for resetting analog sequencers via MIDI clock. MIDI Thru doubles as MIDI Out, so NiftyKEYZ can also be used as a feature-rich MIDI keyboard controller.
