Description

ACORN MASTERKEY 49 MIDI CONTROLLER

The Masterkey 49 USB MIDI controller keyboard opens the doors to portable computer music and offers the control you need to unlock your creativity.

The 49 velocity-sensitive keys have a dynamic and fast response, ideal for programming bass lines, drums or synth leads. You can use any standard MIDI software or the included Presonus Studio One Artist. The compact and lightweight design is ideal for mobile applications, wherever your music takes you.

Real-time controls - the four knobs and faders can be used to control instruments or mix parameters, even while playing. Pitch bend and modulation allow you to add further articulation to the performance. The 3-digit LED display provides quick and easy navigation feedback to find the right menus and change MIDI channels, sending program changes. And if 49 keys are not enough, press the octave and buttons to instantly shift the keyboard up or down.

Installation is truly simple. Just plug the Masterkey 49 into a USB port on your computer and the operating system will do the rest. Masterkey 49 is USB compliant, which means no drivers are needed for supported operating systems.
