M-Audio Keystation-49 MK3 MIDI Keyboard Controller

The M-Audio Keystation-49 is the third generation version of the world’s best selling MIDI keyboard controller that is perfect for both professional and beginner players alike thanks to the range of professional controls and excellent features. This MIDI keyboard controller is great for music producers as well as live performers thanks to the simple, intuitive layout that has been designed to allow you to sequence and play your virtual instruments inside of your preferred DAW.

The Keystation 49 is equipped with 49 natural feeling, full-sized keys that are semi-weighted and fully velocity-sensitive so you can perform expressively while the keyboard captures all of your subtle nuances. This keyboard also features integrated transport and directional controls that allow you to record, play, and perform inside of our DAW without the need to use your mouse or trackpad while a volume fader will enable you to alter your instruments level on the fly and can also be used to perform automation changes. Pitch bend and modulation wheels give you the ability to perform modulation and pitch changes with ease while octave transpose controls allow you to access the full piano note range.

The rear of the keyboard comes with a ¼-inch sustain pedal input so you can hook up an external control pedal for access to genuine piano sustains. The compact, lightweight construction is highly-durable and powered via USB bus-powering which makes it perfect for everyday on-stage use and an excellent tool for traveling musicians and producers who are in need of a natural feeling keyboard controller. The Keystation 49 fully supports USB-MIDI connectivity and can even be connected to your iOS device via an Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter so you can perform and compose using your music and audio applications on iPad and iPhone.
