Unlike all mechanical switches these specially designed optical sensors never affect the action, fall out of adjustment or need cleaning. Highly dynamic optical devices sense velocity in two ways: as keys are struck and as they are released. It's the most appropriate keyboard ever designed for controlling a synthesizing instrument. Using precisely balanced, individually weighted wooden keys, the Prophet-T8 keyboard suggests the feel of a finely crafted acoustic piano while retaining the benefits and advantages of a traditional synthesizer keyboard. The difference begins with the new, extended 76 note (A-C) keyboard itself.
