Yes you can play multiple keys. Good looking keyboard and not "child - like". Suggest purchase interactive dvd for instruction manual if are beginner.

yes, most definitely! should you be able to get a close up shot of the keyboard to the left, you will see the six main keys in the center which includes the q, a w, s, e, d in the centermost area. all of the numeric keys are up above those from 1-11. the keys to the left of the q and a keys cover the alt, shift, caps, tab, and control keys. the keys to the right of the e an d keys cover the alphas, r, t, f, g, v, b, p, c and a "jump" key. i hope that you can get a good "visual" from the description that i gave. When I first got the keyboard, I thought that there was no way that I could become functionable with the set up. Honestly, the transition was so very fast! I first transitioned by using the keyboard to the left and at times hit some of the keys on the regular keyboard to play. I do believe that you will be very happy with it!

Yes, however the media keys are part of the other keys so for example to make the volumn louder you need to use key combination FN+Up Arrow

You can change both and it has both coarse and fine tuning for songs that are between keys.I love mine.

Yes, all keys work and you can play more than one key at a time...I was playing chop sticks from the movie big (tom hanks) and it sounded great!

No you cannot. The only ports in the back of the keyboard are a sustain pedal, a MIDI USB cable, and headphones.

It is not your typical keyboard. It is a MIDI controller so not only do you need separate speakers, but you also need software to produce audio.

For keyboard there is a cheap multi efdects pedal calledthe digitech500. Works great through direct connect. But you should also get a sustain pedal

Yes. I don't have the full list of key commands in front of me but there is a pretty robust set of hotkeys that can switch the K/M, video, audio or all at the same time. See my review for details.

No, not per se-- but you can use the Function menu to transpose the keyboard from -3 to +3 octaves, and you can program some of the buttons to act as octave-transpose buttons. There is a Transpose button that takes you directly to a menu function where you can transpose the entire keyboard up or down 1 semitone at a time, from -12 to +12 semitones-- so you can transpose the instrument to any musical key (e.g., so Middle C plays the D below Middle C, or so Middle C plays the B above Middle C, etc.), to a maximum of -1 to +1 octave. In addition, each of the three voices-- main (a.k.a "right 1" on other keyboards), dual (a.k.a "right 2"), and split (a.k.a. "left")-- can be separately shifted from -2 to +2 octaves, which is combined with the Transpose function. For instance, if you shift the split voice down 2 octaves but you also shift the entire keyboard up 12 semitones, the split voice will actually be shifted down 1 octave (+1 -2 = -1). So you could, for example, shift the split voice down 2 octaves, shift the main voice up 1 octave, shift the dual voice up 2 octaves, and transpose the entire keyboard down 1 octave (12 semitones), such that the split voice ends up at -3 octaves, the main voice ends up at +/-0 octaves, and the dual voice ends up at +1 octave. Furthermore, once you've set up the keyboard (voices, octaves, style, tempo, etc.) the way you want it, you can save the settings to a registration. There are 32 registrations in all, although there are only 4 registration buttons-- i.e., there are 8 registration banks, and each bank holds 4 registrations. So you could set up the keyboard with different octave shifts and save each one to different registrations, such that pressing any of the 4 registration buttons will instantly shift the keyboard up or down a number of octaves.

You can change sections of the keyboard to different colors but not single key.

Yes, but note that pressing multiple keys in this orientation is difficult! In fact, any time you choose a combo of several keys, they have to be pressed PRECISELY at the same time or it will give an error; for this reason, I would not opt for combinations involving pressing more than 2 keys at the same time.Also you have to be ready for the door to flop open and the contents to fall out. I wouldn't recommend trying the upside down option.

YES IT CAN!!!!! If you look at the section where your "tone/pattern/song bank" buttons are you will see the word TUNE colored in white with a line to both the tone button and a line to the pattern button. You have to push both the tone and pattern buttons simultaneously and your keyboard will show the function on it's display. Using the "minus and plus" buttons located on the numeric keypad, you can adjust it up or down. The instruction booklet even explains this folks.

There is not a wide range of keys for Piano, if that is what you are asking. There is a pedal, but we find that it occasionally malfunctions. Regular earbuds are smaller for this unit. You may need an adapter or order the corresponding headset with unit.

Yes, for the most part. W,A,S,D and later in the game, Q, F, and G are added (as you get more abilities). I had no problem playing with a mouse and these keys.

In my experience (several months), there has been no compromise whatsoever in normal keyboard function. I can use any and all key sequences and combinations I have used on any system with a standard wired or wireless keyboard connection.

Yes. There are just seven buttons, but one of them- the "Demo" key, will present you with some lovely classical pieces. The keyboard itself is marvelous, and a good deal for the price. I hope this helps.
