NiftyKeys is a full-sized 49-key keyboard with a 112hp Eurorack case. You still have to fill it up with modules, but at $600 it is a decent investment. The only comparable product I can think of is the discontinued Waldorf kb37 which retailed for $999 and was smaller and less feature packed than the NiftyKeys. Which means that it is something of a bargain?

There are four CV pitch and gate outs across the top, which means you can patch up a four-voice polyphonic synthesizer, four separate monophonic patches, or a pair of duophonic patches. There are also CV outs for aftertouch, velocity, modwheel, expression and the clock-synced LFO. The whole rig can beclocked even over MIDI, but there is an internal clock. There are five pins in the In and Out/ Through section. The keyboard has an auto-chord feature, a multi-mode arpeggiator, glide and swing control.
