The Kurzweil KM88 is a desktop driven 4-zone midi controller keyboard with an 88-key hammer action keyboard and offers the best of both worlds, featuring a combination of physical and virtual controllers. The KM88 can be easily configured using the editor software, and various configurations can also be saved as presets. There fore the KM88 perfectly adapts to your way of creating in any situation.

Express yourself on the 88-note, fully weighted Real Piano Hammer-Action keys. Tailor the KM88 output response to best suit your sound source and playing style via 7 selectable key velocity maps.

Create custom split and layer combinations with up to 4 independent zones, each with its own controller assignments. Store each configuration as its own “Multi” for easy recall.

Navigate through your user Multis via the programmable front panel switches.
