Prodikeys is designed to fit perfectly onto any desktop PC for work or music creation. The product is bundled with easy-to-use software which features six modes designed for playing, learning and creating music.
Users can select PentaTunes and FunTunes for instant access to the world of digital music, while Learn mode provides tuition on selected songs, from the library or downloaded from the Internet. In FixedChord mode and Intelligent Chord mode one can play ad-lib or along with a rhythm accompaniment, while Perform mode allows the user to explore up to 128 different instrument types and 100 rhythm types.
Features allow the user to sequence, record and save music creation in WAV, MIDI or MP3 format and product includes hot keys configurations utility for customising application, Web and keystroke access on the programmable, Internet hot keys and MIDI keys.
