General

With this Alesis Vortex Wireless keytar you can freely use the entire stage and give the performance of a lifetime! Equipped with a stylish black housing, this striking hybrid of guitar and keyboard features 37 velocity-sensitive keys with aftertouch, 8 velocity-sensitive drum pads, a volume fader, a pitch-bend wheel, a ribbon controller and an accelerometer. A USB dongle enables you to set up a Wi-Fi connection with your Mac or PC, providing you with optimal mobility. To ensure that you can fully profit from its wireless MIDI functionality, the Vortex can also be powered by batteries.

Vortex Wireless with accelerometer

The Vortex Wireless is equipped with an assignable accelerometer that enables you to control MIDI data by changing the position of the neck. Increase the volume, bend the pitch or control filters by tilting the keytar upwards, for instance - the Vortex offers numerous options. This Alesis keytar is not equipped with built-in sounds, but comes with an accessory software bundle, so you can start rocking out instantly.

A clear overview

Thanks to its well-organised, user-friendly layout, you'll have no problem playing this fantastic controller. The volume and pitch of the keytar can be controlled by means of your left thumb, while your others fingers operate the ribbon controller and soft-touch buttons. The keys, pads and other controllers on the body of the Vortex Wireless are easily accessible with both your left and your right hand. Are you one of those keyboard players who love to go crazy, power-sliding on stage during your solos? With the Alesis Vortex Wireless keytar, nothing's keeping you back!
