Roland A-88MKII USB/MIDI Keyboard

Roland A Series MIDI keyboards have already been around for quite some time and, since the sheer range of keyboards now available is so large, when a new one is released, the pressure to present something genuinely fresh is high. Now, while the sheer amount of content the Roland A-88MKII is capable of producing is going to please a lot of studios, the most refreshing feature is that the keyboard is a pure pleasure to play which already outstrips many MIDI keyboards out there. Besides this salient point, all the features expected from a controller are present: eight encoders and eight pads as well as the Roland-specific pitch/mod stick. Dip into the technical specifications (the USB-C and MIDI 2.0 support) and it becomes immediately evident that the A-88MKII already has one foot planted firmly in the future.
