Two additions to the original USB microKEY MIDI keyboard range: a portable 25-key model and a wider 61-key model. Sakamaki handled product planning.

Both use velocity-sensitive Natural Touch mini keys and USB bus power. The 25-key version adds a joystick, arpeggiator and sustain/tap controls to support expressive playing in a compact format.

The 61-key model provides pitch-bend and modulation wheels, together with USB hub functionality. These are controllers for computer-based instruments, rather than keyboards with built-in sound engines.
