Complete Specifications

 

The VAX 77 responds to you With existing keyboards, the key must be fully depressed before a note sounds. On the VAX 77, a sophisticated digital signal-processing algorithm (DSP) analyzes the slightest key movement.

 

The VAX 77 incorporates the full complement of MIDI messages attack velocity, release velocity, channel pressure, polyphonic key pressure (aftertouch), and many new features.

 

The VAX 77 is fully equipped to support the enhanced velocity resolution of tomorrow.

 

The measured keyweight is perfectly equal throughout the keystroke.

 

Each key rocks on a stainless steel pin, just like the keys on a grand piano.

 

The keys are long (white keys are over 14 inches), creating a balanced feel and an amazingly fast return less than one-thousandth of a second.

 

You can choose among six different action weights when we custom build your VAX 77.

 

The VAX 77 redefines portable

 

The VAX 77 is the first keyboard that folds down to just 23.3 by 14.5 smaller than an electric guitar.

 

When locked in the open position, your VAX 77 is as solid as any one-piece keyboard. The tough, powder-coated magnesium exterior is designed for travel.

 

The VAX 77 weighs about half as much as many standard keyboards, coming in at a mere 25 pounds.

 

You will receive a simple shoulder bag designed for your VAX 77 that fits it snugly, protecting it with high-density foam.

 

The VAX 77 is custom built for you

 

We offer the VAX 77 in five dramatic colors. Choose from blood red, emerald green, ocean blue, screaming yellow and basic black.

 

We can silkscreen your name or your bands logo on the VAX 77. Just give us a call and well walk you through the process.

 

Well load each synth, bank and patch name you specify in a hierarchical menu format that works the way you want it to.

 

We offer full technical support, and lifetime updates to software and firmware.

 

With our Patch Librarian software (PC only), you can import MIDI name documents (midnam), Receptor bank and patch assignment files, and Cubase patch scripts, then drag

 

and drop until you create the menus that you need, then download to the VAX 77 flash memory in seconds.

 

The VAX 77 is the cutting edge

 

The VAX 77 includes MIDI IN, MIDI OUT and full-speed USB support.

 

It automatically recognizes and supports every brand and model of sustain and expression pedal on the market. Use up to four at a time.

 

The embedded software is designed to simultaneously control a mix of rack mount synths and softsynths running on a notebook computer.

 

You can define your own menus on the computer, then download these patch scripts directly into the keyboard flash memory over USB or MIDI.

 

As you rehearse and develop new music, the sounds you want to use can be moved to a hot list menu. An additional key, located adjacent to high C, allows you to instantly switch between sounds in the hot list.

 

New display technology, called organic LED, keeps your menus visible regardless of the changes in lighting that occur during the show.

14 inches. What, you want me to play them with my feet?

 

I'll take one in "screaming yellow" please.
