The State Theatre has long required the appropriate controller for their input software, Ableton Live. The controlling unit should only provide the elements needed during a play. The theatre needed keys that could be arranged clearly, and individualized by size and color. This aids operation in low light conditions and hectic situations. Other important points were the key travel and tactile feedback: The keys must not trigger too easily and must give the operator some feedback about the key press.
The keyboard MCI 30 from PrehKeyTec could be perfectly adapted to the requirements of the State Theatre. The individual key layout, key size and color scheme make it easy and reliable to use. Thanks to the programmability of the individual keys, it was quickly and easily integrated into the existing software. The haptic and user-friendliness of the keyboard also impress users in their daily live use.
"We tested many controllers and no one had convinced us in all respects so far. This is different with the MCI 30 from PrehKeyTec!"
Moritz Kobel, Head of Sound Department
