Improved sound system for more effective sound delivery

This MK3 version adopts a revamped and optimized amplification system, capable of delivering more volume and a more extended low-frequency response than previous versions.

In addition, up to 8 Favorite presets can be stored directly on the keyboard, quickly recalled via the pads. Each preset can include keyboard and pad sound assignments as well as effect settings, offering a fast and functional workflow both in the studio and in performance.
