Vas playing the Maxi

The Maxi (294 keys) one of a kind
custom master midi keyboard controller.

Maxi: The Maxi uses six 49 key synch action midi keyboard controllers. I highly modified these keyboards and then set them in pairs inside a frame. The Maxi therefore has six midi outputs which are inputted to the USB MidiSport 8x8s midi interface to organize the midi data. The exchangeable yellow markers (barely visible) are used to separate the octaves.

Here! Here! Hear:
