Questions & Answers
from live chat

Is the keyboard FATAR or is it an own development?

All Dexibell models are using Fatar keyboards, customized according to our specific requests

 

Is it possible to connect it with a Windows computer?

USB MIDI connection works with Windows PCs, but Windows is not compatible with USB Audio standard. To have an audio connection between Dexibell instruments and Windows PCs, an audio interface is needed

 

Has S9 heavier / most “realistic” piano keybed?

Not so much heavier, but more realistic for sure

 

Can expression pedals layer in external sounds from other sound libraries?

You can freely decide what to control with expression pedal

 

Which cabling is needed between Vivo and the laptop?

Just a simple USB cable

 

Are the four keyboard zones A B C D to link separately to four separate pieces of MIDI equipment?

Each Zone can be assigned to a specific MIDI channel, so it can control the external device(s) having the same channel as MIDI reception channel
