M-Audio CTRL 49 MIDI keyboard
Product no: 9000-0023-4776
Bax Music Warranty:
This product comes with a 3-year warranty.
General
The CTRL 49 is perhaps M-Audio's most impressive MIDI keyboard ever! That's not just because it features a number of knobs and pads and a semi-weighted keyboard, but also because of VIP. This stands for Virtual Instrument Player, software that allows complete integration with your VST instruments. Simply install the software on a Windows or Mac computer and you can create one library containing all of your virtual instruments which you can then control directly from the CTRL 49! Real time feedback will be shown on the detailed 4.3-inch colour screen.
Multiple layers and setlists
Producers and keyboard players who have tried the CTRL 49 in combination with the VIP software won't want anything else. Finally, it's no longer necessary to keep going back to your laptop when you want to activate the right sounds. Any virtual instrument in your collection can be called up and edited directly from the CTRL 49. It's even possible to layer up to 8 instruments on top of one another (also from different plugins) and adjust the volume, pan, transposition and split per patch! On the stage you can also make use if highly practical setlists.
