Alesis VI49 USB MIDI Controller

General

The Alesis VI49 USB MIDI controller is a great all-rounder for your studio. Equipped with 49 semi-weighted, velocity-sensitive keys with aftertouch, this MIDI controller serves as a relatively compact solution for the many plug-ins and virtual instruments that are issued on an almost weekly basis. Do you need to create some drum parts? No problem, thanks to 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive pads, which are backlit in various colours.

Possibilities of the Alesis VI49 USB MIDI Controller

Naturally, the familiar pitch-bend and modulation wheels are present on the VI49, in addition to 12 assignable knobs and 36 assignable buttons that allow for great hands-on control of your plug-ins. Traditional transport buttons facilitate the interaction with your DAW, while the octave shift buttons enable you to shift the available octaves of the keyboard, allowing you to include instruments with a considerably high or low pitch, such as piccolo and double bass, as well.

A Reliable Asset for Modern Studios

USB keyboards serve as musical keys for your DAW and offer you almost unlimited possibilities. A relatively small keyboard such as the VI49 can easily be used in combination with another USB keyboard, for instance to expand your available octave range. This facilitates the use of key switches, and enables you to switch articulation, provided your virtual instrument supports it. Do you consider yourself a producer on the move? The VI49 is USB-powered and easily fits into your bag next to your laptop/tablet. Take it with you for a sunny day of composing and producing in the park!
