10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 60 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Apply some pressure

Keith McMillen K-Board C MPE MIDI Controller allows you to modulate effects and other musical parameters by applying pressure on the keyboard. With the 'Press' button, you can easily enable or disable pressure data. The LED light indicates whether pressure is enabled or disabled. By applying more pressure on the keys, you can increase the current pressure value, while applying less pressure will decrease it.

When multiple keys are held down, the K-Board outputs the average pressure value of all active keys, ensuring precise control of your software. By default, pressure data is output on MIDI CC #1 (Mod Wheel), but you can customize it to Channel Pressure messages or any CC number using the K-Board software editor.

Tilt for pitch and effects

Using the Tilt button, you can bend pitch and modulate effects by tilting your fingers up and down on the keyboard. Similar to the Pressure feature, you can enable or disable tilt data using the 'Tilt' button and monitor its status with the LED light. Tilting your fingers upwards increases the current tilt value, while tilting downwards decreases it. When multiple keys are pressed, the K-Board calculates the average tilt value of all active keys, providing you with greater control over your software. By default, tilt data is output as pitch bend messages, but you have the flexibility to change it to any CC number using the K-Board software editor.

Adjust your velocity manually

With the Velocity feature on the K-Board, you can make the keys of your MIDI controller sensitive to the force applied. By pressing and holding the 'Velo' button, you can enable or disable velocity response. The LED light indicates the status of velocity. Playing a key with more force will result in a higher velocity value, while playing with less force will produce a lower velocity value. This dynamic responsiveness allows for expressive playing and more nuanced musical performances.

Toggle and sustain

Utilising the toggle function, you can make each key act as a toggleable switch. By pressing and holding the 'Togl' button, you can enable or disable the key toggling functionality. The LED light indicates whether toggling is enabled or disabled. This feature provides you with greater flexibility and control over your musical compositions and live performances. The K-Board also offers a Sustain feature, allowing you to temporarily sustain notes on the keyboard. By pressing and holding the Sus button, you can sustain your notes for as long as you desire. The LED light on the button indicates when it is pressed and sustaining notes, turning off when released. With this feature, you can enhance your musical expression and create stunning soundscapes.

K-Board editor - software editor for customising settings and parameters

For the more seasoned musician/audio engineer; the K-Board also comes complete with its own K-Board software editor. This powerful Editor software allows you to customise nearly every fact of the K-Board, including MIDI messages, CC values and even the keyboard's sensitivity. When you change any of the parameters within the K-Board editor; it will automatically sync with the K-Board controller.
