The Pianobox USB from Miditech contains 128 GM sounds, nine drum kits and a SFX kit and thus turns any master keyboard into a full-fledged keyboard. Via the guitar input (Hi-Z / DI) every guitarist can start his own session to the 100 internal drum patterns! The USB connection turns the Pianobox into a full class compliant MIDI interface; so every PC/Mac recognizes the Pianobox USB as an external sound module.

For a lot of groove right from the start, there is a FREE comprehensive MIDITECH software package for downloading:

Best is not having to buy a USB to Midi converter (£100). Works perfectly, so far, with a Korg Microkey2 - 49, Korg Nano Key2, Arturia Keystep in both USB and MIDI DIN mode.
The Nano Key2 makes for a very transportable package.
