Keyborg Pro vs Colossus Piano

The Keyborg Pro technology offers five modes of play, as follows. 1. E-Z Pedal Steel Keyborg: transforms any MIDI keyboard into a fully functional pedal steel guitar, but one that is played just like a standard piano keyboard using basic piano chords. Simple enough for novices, yet sophisticated enough for the most advanced players. 2. Pedal Steel Keyborg: transforms any MIDI keyboard into a fully functional pedal steel guitar, but one that is played with all the simplicity of a standard 6-string guitar using basic barre chords. Perfect for guitar players. 3. Barre Chord Keyborg: transforms any MIDI keyboard into a fully functional 6-string guitar using basic barre chords with up/down strumming of 1-6 adjacent strings. 4. Rob’s Barre Chord Keyborg: transforms any MIDI keyboard into a fully functional 6-string guitar using basic barre chords with up/down strumming of 1-6 adjacent strings, while using a single hand for both fretting and strumming/plucking. 5. E-Z Chord Keyborg: enables advanced chord playing on any MIDI keyboard using basic chord maneuvers.
