Rhodes Music has announced the MIDI MK8, a powerful new MIDI system that expands the possibilities of their acclaimed MK8 electromechanical piano. This fully integrated system uses touchless technology, preserving the feel of the MK8’s Steinway-designed Kluge keybed while transforming it into a versatile MIDI controller.

“After two years of painstaking research and development, we’re proud to present a first-in-class MIDI system that seamlessly integrates with the Rhodes MK8 piano,” said Dan Goldman, Product Manager at Rhodes. “We’ve gone to great lengths to ensure we deliver a fully optimized, noise-free solution that enhances the Rhodes experience while preserving the piano’s signature touch and feel.”

With the MIDI MK8, musicians can control virtual instruments and parameters within DAWs or MIDI-compatible hardware. From layering the MK8’s iconic sound with synth pads to automating effects like chorus and delay, the system offers unparalleled versatility for both stage and studio use.
