BASIC FEATURES of the MP5

The MP5 keyboard can be divided into 4 zones. Each zone can be set to INT,
EXT or BOTH individually. INT (Internal) is to play any of the 256 internal

internal sounds and external MIDI devices at the same time. Each zone can be
played individually, or multiple zones can be freely split, layered and velocity
switched to create stunning and personalized performances.

control like that found in an acoustic piano.
