Your cart is empty.The Roland K-25m is a 25-key, velocity sensitive keyboard designed for use with the Roland Boutique series. Measuring less than 12″ across, the K-25m acts as a dock for any Roland Boutique module, and once in place the module can be tilted at two different angles for easier viewing and sound programming, or can be laid completely flat.

For my Roland boutique synths, I mostly use a larger midi controller keyboard for playing but I wanted to add this keyboard dock so I could quickly select the right patch. Don't be misled, the keybed on this will not satisfy you if you compare it to a quality midi controller keyboard or another synthesizer with a nice keybed. That said, I find it does the job perfectly well and it's easily portable. It fits the boutique synth perfectly and has nice grippy rubber feet so it doesnt slide around. Easy to attach to synth with a single ribbon cable. It does look cool, in my opinion and I am happy with it, overall. I think it could be priced a little lower but it is a Roland product.

Me gustó mucho este controlador, muy fácil de instalar con mi JU-06A, las teclas tienen muy buena pulsación y el plástico es de buena calidad, he comprado otros controladores con teclas de menor calidad pero con este modelo no es el caso, la parte lateral es de metal resistente. Roland nunca decepciona.

I bought the Roland JD-08 Boutique synth initially without a keyboard. But I wasn’t happy with the keys on the device and it was cumbersome to hook up another MIDI keyboard to it. This keyboard is definitely expensive (around $141), especially considering that the Roland synth itself without keyboard cost $399. But I decided to go for it. I am so glad that I did! It hooks up easily and makes playing my synth so much easier and much more fun. The keyboard is powered through the JD-08 (either batteries or USB cord) so no separate electric cord or batteries needed for the keyboard. I was even able to hook my UNO Synth to the Roland and was able to control both with the keyboard, either separately or combined for some really fun new sounds. The keys have a nice easy action not too tight or too loose, just right. The only con is that it is a pretty short scale with only 25 keys, but you can change octaves easily on the device to move up or down the scale. A little pricy for a short keyboard, but well worth it in my opinion.

I picked this up for a JD-08, and I'm impressed. The build quality is a lot better than I expected, and it's weighty with the metal sides. It also really grips to my desk, so the whole unit isn't sliding around even heavy velocity. The boutique module itself is locked in pretty well and doesn't shake while playing.For mini-keys, the feel is probably the best I've used (better than any of the Korg stuff I've used), but it's not exactly going to replace a 61 key keyboard.Only unfortunate thing about the dock is no aftertouch, but I knew that going in, and you don't really get the full experience of the JD08 with just a hand's worth of keys. For something like the SH01A, SE02, or some Juno basslines, it'd be perfect though.
