Introducing MidiCard Plus

MidiCard Plus and V1.1

MakerProducts is proud to announce the MidiCard Plus, the full two-octave 25-key successor to the MidiCard.

By switching the P/MF/FF buttons to a one-button toggle, the Plus uses the same processor as the MidiCard but can handle 25 keys. The MidiCard Plus uses larger, more sturdy buttons than the MidiCard – they still have click-less spring action, but are more durable and take slightly more effort to press than the original MidiCard’s buttons.

MidiCard Plus has all of the same great features of the original MidiCard – bus-powered, class compliant MIDI, sustain, velocity selection for dynamics, octave selection with All Note Off, and Full Polyphony.

Here is a breakdown of the differences between the MidiCard and MidiCard Plus:
