A multimedia console incorporating an alphanumeric keyboard, a musical key-bed and a string instrument module is described for generating multimedia work product conveniently when coupled with a digital personal computer or optionally as a stand alone music equipment. When the musical key-bed functionality is not required, a palm rest cover converts the top surface area of the musical key-bed into an ergonomic support for the user's hands. The string instrument module encourages users of personal computers and music instrument players alike to generate original multimedia work products effectively and economically. |
