M-Audio Keystation 49 MK3 MIDI Controller
The M-Audio Keystation 49 MK3 MIDI controller is part of the updated line of keyboards with a full range of classic creative features and updated software. This model features velocity-sensitive keys, an octave range button, sound modulation, and intuitive control without the need for a mouse or trackpad, simplifying and enhancing the recording process. Compact and lightweight, the keyboard is perfect for musicians who want to control the software side of their performances or for those looking to add an intuitive MIDI controller with natural keys to their studio. The Keystation 49 MK3 is equipped with additional control tools for deeper integration with DAW, allowing you to reduce recording time. Also included is a 1/4" sustain pedal input, allowing you to use an external pedal, such as the M-Audio SP2 (sold separately).
Like all keyboards in this model range, it supports USB-MIDI and USB power. The keyboard can also sync with iOS devices via the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter (sold separately), allowing you to use apps on an iPad or other device. The Pro Tools First M-Audio Edition included in the package is specifically designed to work with M-Audio hardware. This exclusive bundle is an optimal package for recording, with 1 GB of cloud storage for storing and sharing recordings with any computer, as well as compatibility with AIR Music Tech Virtual Instruments. The bundle also includes Ableton Live Lite, a lightweight version of one of the most popular programs for creating and playing electronic music in a live audio/MIDI environment. The included Mini Grand from AIR Music is a virtual piano that combines the legendary sound of five instruments from the 60s and 70s into a flexible function (Fender Rhodes Suitcase, Fender Rhodes MK I and MK II Stage Pianos, Wurlitzer 200A and Hohner Pianet-T). Additionally, the bundle includes AIR Music’s Xpand!2, a multitimbral DAW offering four active slots, each with its own MIDI channel for processing, along with smart knobs for sound adjustment and independent modulation settings for each slot.
