It works with the keyboard you already own.
Any keyboard with USB MIDI plays with KeyLayers. The ones we know by name do more: their own sounds, picked by name, on your layers.
Any MIDI keyboard
Your keys play our sounds on all four layers, with splits, octaves, scenes and sets. Sliders, knobs, buttons and pedals can be taught with Learn.
If it has a USB port marked for a computer, it works. A keyboard with only 5-pin MIDI connects through a USB MIDI interface.
A keyboard we know by name
Everything above, plus your keyboard’s own sounds listed by name and layered with ours. Where the keyboard allows it, its sliders follow the layers and the song’s name shows on its screen.
KeyLayers recognises it the moment you plug in.
The keyboards we know today.
62 keyboards and 89,702 of their sounds, read from the makers’ own documents. Stage pianos, workstations, arrangers and home pianos.

What “knowing a keyboard” means.
For each keyboard we keep a profile: a list of its sounds by name and how to call each one up, which channels it listens on, what its sliders send, and what it can show on its screen.
- Read from the maker’s own manuals and data lists, never guessed.
- Checked automatically before every release.
- KeyLayers never writes to your keyboard’s memory. Your own sounds and settings stay as they are.
